“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)”

“Cespedes hit 23 home runs and stole 16 bases in just 129 games project that over a full season and it is easy to project Cespedes as a 30 HR, 20+ steal player. ”

“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.”

“Yoenis is going to be a 30/30 player very shortly. So shortly I would say it happens in 2013 as he would have easily accomplished the feat if he did not get injured early on in the season. Cespedes is one of the brightest young stars in the game.”

 

“Fantasy's No. 14 hitter over final 93 games of '12 (.299, 17/12)”

 

“He adjusted to major league pitching incredibly well in his rookie season, showing potential to be a 30-20 player with a .300 average and strong run production in his age 27 season. ”
