“Santana is much more valuable in leagues that value OBP, as he doesn't carry an impressive AVG. Tough to argue with anything else, though.”

“Hamels is phenomenal. He'd rank higher if the Phillies weren't fielding a senior league team.”

“got it together in the 2nd half of the season hitting .278 with 13 HR”

 

“We're not ready to give up on Santana, who showed what he's capable of in the second half of last season (13 HR, 46 RBI).”

 

“Carlos started last season out ICE COLD before getting hot in the end to save himself with 18 HRs and nearly 80 RBIs. The batting average was horrible at .252, and if there is a chance to grab Santana as a lower valued player. Now would be that time. 30 HRs is easily in his future every year.”

“Automatic 200+ Ks. Automatic BEASTLY ERA. Cole should continue his dominance as 17 Wins is just the start to how many he could get in a season.”

 

“#1 in swinging strike rate last year, #2 overall in swinging strike rate over the 2010-2012 3 year season span. Dude is an absolute STUD. Upside- Cy Young.”

 

“Given consistency past 6 seasons, 180+ IP, low 3 ERA, K/IP expected”
