“Davis was the MVP of the Fantasy Baseball playoffs in 2012. He was hitting HRs at a Barry Bonds rate (7 HR/7 Games) and the 25 year old who was supposed to be doing this for so many years finally made it come true. The Orioles played it smart with Davis giving him a 1 year deal with incentives to make the All-Star Team and win a silver Slugger award. Grab him if he falls, 40/100 is possible.”

“Goldy was supposed to be a 40 HR type of hitter, instead he surprised everyone and stole nearly 20 Bases. While we want to think it is a fluke, there is no reason we will not see 10+. Paul is a good sleeper as he could explode for 30/20, but then again there are a lot of 1B options and reaching for Schmidt may not be the price of admission.”

 

“Goldschmidt hit the ground running in 2012. But think about this. He's still adjusting to Major League pitching, having skipped AAA. He could be ready for a big breakout.”

 

“Solid Gold: Led 1Bs in SB (18) and was + roto contributor in all 5 cats”

 

“Sure, he strikes out a lot, but he's only 23 and worst-case, he's a lock for 20 HR and 15 SB. Best case? He jumps to the next tier. ”
