“Loves Coors home cookin': 3 straight seasons of .880+ OPS, 20/20”

“Was the Pedroia we thought he was in '12 2nd half (.880 OPS)”

“Like Kemp, health concerns are keeping him from top-pick consideration. But he?s still one of the most complete players in the game and continues to be a monster at Coors Field. ”

“He should return to full health, meaning a 20-20 season with an average around .300 is certainly doable. ”

“Carlos Gonzalez is one of the last 40 HR/40 SB guys left in baseball. The thin air in Colorado helps him out more than any player, and with a healthy Tulowitzki the Rockies could make some noise as one of the best hitting NL Teams.”

“Pedroia is going to get more games as the #3 hitter, which can only mean good things for the laser show. His power numbers are not in the 25+ Range like his fantasy value use to insist. Instead it is a lot of 20/20 Production with .300+ Batting average.”

“Fine to target in Roto, but stay away in H2H leagues, thanks to Home/Road splits”

 

“We did see some drop off in home runs with the move from Milwaukee to Detroit last season as Fielder had 30 home runs in 2012. He averaged 40 home runs over the previous 5 seasons in Milwaukee. Now that he has had a year to grow accustomed to the confines of Detroit, I am projection a compromise between the 30 home runs in 2012 and the 40 home run average the previous 5 seasons in Milwaukee. Most surprising to me has been Fielders durability over the years. ...”

“On my 2013 all bust team.”

 

“Pedroia has the potential to be the type of 5-category killer that is tough to find at any position, but only if he can see more time batting third in the lineup.”
