“Rizzo's a great pick in keeper drafts. He has the potential to lead the league in home runs some day, just probably not this year.”

 

“Sleeper - Michael Morris”

 

“Rizzo has 30/100 written all over him this season. It is unfortunate that he has a terrible Cubs team surrounding him minus Starlin Catro. But Rizzo is still young and is still one of the bright futures of the 1B position in baseball. Draft him with great upside to be a consistent RBI machine.”

“Plouffe the Magic Dragon is a player to target in all Fantasy Drafts. Never have I seen a player take over the MLB like Plouffe. In June he hit 7 HRs in 7 Days, and if he can do something similar to that for a whole season. Watch out. 24 HRs is what he hit as a late season call-up, 30+ is easily within reach for 2013.”

“less discrepancy in splits compared to those ranked below him ”

“power is legit, but he is a BA risk”
