“In line for some regression after a breakout season (xBA was .260 and Leyland won't run AJax enough to make his stolen base potential come to fruition)”

 

“Austin Jackson is a low-end Drew Stubbs type of player but with a .300 batting average. A-Jax will always be a great source of runs, and his power ranges in the 15+ area. The problem is his speed does not cut it and 20+ SBs would be an amazing season at this point for Austin, to go along with that 20 HR potential.”

“Kipnis is a player that should be a 20 HR/30 SB player as early as 2013. If we needed to find a version of Brian Roberts back in his prime, Jason Kipnis is that man. Jason can rake the ball and soon all those doubles will turn into bombs. We should see Kipnis do damage once again with an even better Indians squad this season.”

 

“In 1st full season, top 5 among 2Bs in SB (31), Runs (86), RBIs (76)”

 

“If Kipnis can continue to progress, he could be a first rounder some day. He's a great pick in keeper leagues.”

 

“He followed up an amazing first half with lots of ugly in the second. A nice balance of power and speed but inconsistency of 2012 a concern. ”
