“#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.”

 

“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.”

“Castro is a solid player who should hit .300 and drive in 20+ HRs and steal 20+ Bases any season now. He is one of the best young talents in the game and will easily be the #1 SS in Fantasy Baseball sometime in the next handful of years. Now is your chance to get him at a discount before everyone is all over him.”

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

“Power leap will make him truly elite, but that probably not likely in '13”

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

“Castro's power is developing nicely, and is beginning to pair well with his AVG and speed.”

 

“You know a jump into the elite tier of fantasy shortstops is coming at some point. The 22-year-old has increased his home runs, R.B.I. and stolen bases in each of his first three seasons. A 20-30 season could be in the cards. ”
