“3-pos eligibility a major +, as is .822+ OPS in 3 of past 4 seasons”

 

“It's always tough to figure out if Zobrist is overvalued or underrated. He's like Kinsler-Light, but he can cover SS and OF.”

 

“He has always flirted with 20-20 but is now on the wrong side of 30. Has added value from multiple-position eligibility.”

“There's potential for great value here. A 4th round pick just last season, Napoli moves to Boston, where he'll spend plenty of time at 1B. ”

“Positional flexiblity, especially at both middle infied spots, gives Zobrist a boost in value”

“if he proves to be healthy in spring training then he could move into a second tier option”

“Zo-BEAST is one of those fantasy players that can help you with batting average, and give you very nice power numbers and stolen bases 20/20 range. You should draft him with 20 HR/20 SB potential, and figure that one of the categories will beat the other. Hard to find anything close to that in the 2B position.”

“Napoli is not near 100% with a hip injury. Despite being able to hit 24 HRs in a terrible year last season with Texas, and clubbing out 30 HRs in less than 120 games last season. Mike Nap comes into Boston as one of the preimere bats. Health is a huge concern this Spring with the hip, he may not even start the season. Will still need to be the Red Sox man, but keep in mind it is a long season and you always want to come in 100% healthy.”

 

“On my 2013 all bust team.”
