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

 

“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. ”

“There's potential for great value here. A 4th round pick just last season, Napoli moves to Boston, where he'll spend plenty of time at 1B. ”

“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.”

“Napoli is not near 100% with a hip injury. Despite being able to hit 24 HRs in a terrible year last season with Texas, and clubbing out 30 HRs in less than 120 games last season. Mike Nap comes into Boston as one of the preimere bats. Health is a huge concern this Spring with the hip, he may not even start the season. Will still need to be the Red Sox man, but keep in mind it is a long season and you always want to come in 100% healthy.”

“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.”

 

“if he proves to be healthy in spring training then he could move into a second tier option”
