“25/25 skills are real but the '12 BA (.327) is likely to regress a bit”

 

“Can you trust his batting average?”

 

“Yet another five-category star at the position, his second-half struggles have some concerned. But the 26-year-old is worth the investment after making a huge jump into the top-tier last season. ”

 

“ Andrew McCutchen had a career year with Pittsburgh last season, and I see a lot of regression for 2013. Although still in growth mode at age 26, there is nothing in his stats to say that he is a 30 home run hitter. In fact, he is closer to a 20 home run hitter. My bigger concern for McCutchen is his stolen bases. He gets caught stealing more than you might think. Here is a breakdown of his numbers: SB CS SB% 33 10 77% 23 10 70% 20 12 63% ...”

 

“Does not get more Clutch than Cutch. In 2012 he showed the full package with a .327 Average that brought him 31 HRs/96 RBIs/20 SBs. He vows to steal more in 2013, but the power will likely not get any better. He is a rising star and 30/30 is more than possible.”

“Despite having a career worst .255 batting average in 2012. Victorino did manage to hit 11 HRs and steal 39 Bases. It is never easy to switch teams in the middle of the season, and Shane never went through enough hot streaks to be a Fantasy BEAST. But 10+HRs and 40 SBs is the type of production that does not grow on trees. Make sure you do not let Shane drop too low.”

“McCutchen finshed 2011 with a .259 BA, hit .253 in last two months of 2012 while SB have declined each of the last three seasons (SB rate was just 63% in 2012)”
