“Beltran can either go the Lance Berkman route and completely fall off the map, or continue his 30+ HR binge which was surprising to see in 2012. I see Carlos continuing his success as he is one of the best hitters in the game today when hot. The SB threat of 30+ is long gone, even 15 would be great. Now Carlos is entering the Alfonso Soriano days.”

“The sky is the limit for Jason Heyward who could be on the edge of a 30 HR/30 SB season anyday now. His batting average still lacks everything you desire, but his upside and early comparisons to Ken Griffey Jr. will probably force you to burn a high pick if you want his talent.”

“Has seen 520 or more at bats the last two seasons, but injury risk is very high for the 36 yr. old Beltran”

“Stolen base potential gives him a slight edge over Holliday, but he won't hit for near the average as Holliday ”

 

“27/21 in '12 and, at age 23, all arrows still pointing up”

 

“Is the monster power coming this year or next year? Tempted enough to find out? I know i am.”

 

“Can you believe he?s only 23-years-old? Expect him to mature before most and start climbing toward five-tool stardom starting in 2013.”
