“WAS wunderkind closed rookie year w/ 12 HR in final 44 games”

“No. 1 roto value in '12 is most disruptive all-around force in MLB”

“Bryce Harper highest WAR last 30 days (for what that is worth in Fantasy) while hitting .340 with 7 home runs”

“BA may regress, but he should be able to at least match his 5 months of 2012 production playing a full season in 2013”

“Generational Talent follows Trout and puts up another 20 year old generational stat-line”

 

“I'm a believer, huge season is coming.”

“Potential for one of the best seasons ever, but sophomore slump is a possibility”

“This is a conservative ranking, as Harper could very well be a first-round pick in 2014 at age 21. Even if he progressed at a slower rate, a safe bet for solid five-category production. ”

“When was the last time someone burst onto the fantasy baseball scene at age 21 like this guy? Even if he regresses, he?s putting up first-round value in all five categories, and who knows if he?s going to regress at all? ”

“Bryce could go 30 HR/30 SB in 2013. Harper was able to manage 18 HR/22 SB as a rookie and being a late call up. With a full year of experience Bryce is ready to tear the cover off the ball.”

“Trout comes into this season 30 LBs heavier than his day 1 weight in 2012. Those 49 SBs are likely to drop, but the 30 HRs could go up to 50 now that he knows he is the best player in baseball. No question he will lead the MLB in runs.”

“Bust - Michael Morris”

 
 

“My drafting philosophy over the years has been risk adverse in the early draft rounds. Your first round pick is the anchor and foundation of your team. And although Mike Trout had an outstanding rookie season, he?s only done it one time. We have such a small sample size in one season, or do we? If you take a look at last season and his time in the minor leagues, they don?t compare. Year AB HR HR/AB SB Att SB CS SB Success Rate AVG 2010 508 10 50....”
