“May be an anchor for your team's average, but output in other categories should more then make up for it”

“was a top 5 2B & stole 5 bases in that span showing that you can have confidence in his knee(s)”

“There are not many more automatic 30/30 players left in Baseball. B.J. Upton is one of those guys, and although playing in a new league could take some time for B.J. to adjust. He will always be able to steal bases like Juan Pierre in his prime.”

“Utley was a player who did not start playing baseball well into the season. He never got the rhythm or the timing that he needed from seeing pitches since April. The days of Chase being a .300 hitter with 20 HR/20 SB potential is still there, and you could be giving up the trophy if you let someone else grab him late.”

 

“After being sworn off by many after news of his degenerative knee condition last season, he's hanging on and still producing when he's on the field. ”

 

“It's amazing how quickly Utley has fallen from best player in baseball to guy from that 'It's Always Sunny' bit.”
