“Eric Gagne may not be pitching in the majors anymore, but Craig Kimbrel is the closest thing since. Draft Kimbrel with confidence knowing that you have the #1 Closer by a long shot. as he leads all closers in Ks/ERA/and possibly saves.”

“Kinsler went from a 30/30 player to a 20/20 player. We all know he is closer to the 30/30 potential and Kinsler seemed to be very ICE cold at a lot of bad times throughout the 2012 season. If Kinler remains consistent like players in the BEAST category should, you can get one of the most dynamic fantasy players in the game today at a scarce position. He will always be among the league leaders in runs.”

 

“Kinsler has hit 18 or more HR and stolen more than 20 bases 5 of the last 6 seasons (other one due to injury), and 2 of those seasons were 30HR/30SB years.”

 

“Kinsler has a history of being injury-prone and has produced inconsistent power and average numbers, but still among the better options. ”

 

“I believe his 30/30 seasons more than last year”

 

“Rollercoaster ride, but you should get .260/20/80/100/20 in the end”
