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

“has missed almost 130 games combined the last two seasons”

“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.”

“Longoria was on his way to potentially being the 2012 MVP before having his season cut short to 79 games. He played a majority of those games to close out the year, including a season finale where he hit 3 HRs against the Orioles. Evan is ready to hit 40+ bombs in a season, it could come any year and you would be crazy to let someone else get the chance to have it.”

 

“Bust - Spencer Firth”

 

“Had 162-game pace of .289/37/120 in '12, and now in prime time (27)”

 

“Longoria should give you a .280-.290 AVG with 30+ HR, 90 R, and 100 RBI. He also walks a ton, and at 27, he's at the ideal point in his career.”

 

“With 17 homers and 55 runs batted in over 74 games in 2012, Longoria appears poised to put up the best numbers in his career at age 27 in 2013. ”

 

“Don't pull a hamstring reading this note; Longo gets the tag of injury prone. But is it fair? Question: Are you injury prone when you just get unlucky for 2 straight years and get a freak injury? Or do you become injury prone when said injury is a hamstring, which always has future ramifications for creeping up again. - Fantasy Football owners should remember this first-hand.”
