“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.”

“Josh Hamilton comes into 2013 batting behind Albert Pujols and being in the best shape of his life. Take away Josh Hamilton's two month slump and he was by far the most dominating hitter in baseball. No reason to thin Hamilton will not crush 50 HRs and drive in over 140 RBIs.”

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

 
 

“Preparing to join the scary-good Angels lineup, the risk associated with Hamilton is well documented, but so is the reward. Even if he only managed to play 125 games, he can still put up 30 homers and drive in 100 runs. ”

 

“Bust - Michael Morris”

 

“On my 2013 all bust team.”

 

“If he stays healthy, orbiting Planet Pujols will do wonders”
