“played in over 100 games for the first time at the major league level. He's an injury risk, but when healthy he is a good source of power and BA”

“bounced back some in 2012 see more then 10 HR this year & a .300 avg (from a catcher is great) ”

“The best season you will get from Freese is 25 HR/100 RBI and a near .300 batting average. All of those numbers are very desirable, especially for how late he will fall in your draft.”

“Joe is one of those catchers who will get you a great RBI total, along with an award winning batting average. Not to mention nearly 100 Runs. While also throwing in some low double digit HR totals to go with double digit steals. He will make you happy as a fantasy owner.”

 

“If you're drafting Mauer, make sure you get your power elsewhere. He can supplement a moderate AVG team, though.”

 

“On my all bust team for 2013. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”
