“Has Cano-like consistency if not quite Cano-like upside”

 

“The safest pick you won't have to empty the bank on, Phillips is a reliable five-category producer. ”

 

“Phillips is another guy that won't hurt you in any category. He won't blow you away anywhere, either.”

 

“Phillips went from a 30/30 player to a 20/20 player, to now a 20/20 season is maybe the ceiling for how good he can be. We all know Brandon is an ELITE talent, but if he's going to put up the same numbers 5 years straight with a slight decline each year. There may not be much hope for 31 Year Old for a brighter future.”

“Melky was caught for PED's in 2012, and now finds himself on the best Fantasy situation of his career. The Blue Jays are going to score a lot of runs, and that 20 HR/20 SB potential while hitting over .300 could lead to a big season. I do not expect a decline as once the Steroids go through your system, it's not like you're going to lose it unless you stop maintaining it. Melky will keep going.”
