“Sabathia has pitched six straight seasons of 200+ innings with an ERA in the low 3's, and you know he'll get his W's.”

 

“CC is 200 Ks. ERA in the 3.50 Range. 20 Wins. Rock Solid, ELITE, whatever you want to call it. Don't let him slip.”

“Justin had a fluke season in 2012 and should go right back to the 40 HR/110 RBI/20 SB player you know you can get. Do not be shy on taking an early pick on Justin despite the poor 2012 where he only hit 18 HRs. Players like J-UP do not grow on trees.”

 

“We are splitting hairs when trying to decide between talking Verlander or Kershaw in round 1 of fantasy baseball drafts as both pitchers are top options. Kershaw is still maturing at the age of 25 and pitches in a better pitcher?s park. When comparing both Verlander and Kershaw, although they have similar stats over the past 2 years, I feel that Verlander is the easier pitcher to project from a statistical standpoint. Which Kershaw will we see this season? ...”

 

“If Upton falls in your draft because of his so-so 2012, you best pounce. A healthy Upton joins his brother in a suddenly potent Atlanta lineup. He?s a five-category stud entering the prime of his career and could easily end up in the top 5 at the end of the season. ”

 

“DIdn't we learn enough with Alex Rios and Aaron Hill after atrocious 2011 seasons and they bounced-back to previous levels and then-some? All systems go for the younger Upton in 2013. DRAFT HIM”

 

“Even w/ injury issues, has established a .280, 20/20ish floor”

 

“JUp really benefited from playing his home games in Chase Field”
