“has saw 625+ PA in each of the last two seasons, but he is 35 yrs old ”

 

“Age starting to concern (35 in June), but coming off .901 OPS campaign”

 

“There?s something to be said about consistency. The elder statesman of the top 10 is going to deliver in four categories and throw in some steals for good measure.”

 

“Aramis is always one of the hottest hitters of in 2nd half of every Fantasy Baseball season. 2012 was no different as he hit 17 HRs post All-Star Break. 10 HRs pre All-Star Break. He will likely hit 30 HRs and knock in 100 RBIs while hitting near .300. They do not get much better than Aramis.”

“Melky was caught for PED's in 2012, and now finds himself on the best Fantasy situation of his career. The Blue Jays are going to score a lot of runs, and that 20 HR/20 SB potential while hitting over .300 could lead to a big season. I do not expect a decline as once the Steroids go through your system, it's not like you're going to lose it unless you stop maintaining it. Melky will keep going.”

“If you can wait out his low stretches, he'll carry your team for months out of the season.”
