“His spike in power coincided with a preseason mechanical adjustment at the plate, so not expecting too much regression.”

 

“Do you believe the power? I do, but losing 3B eligibility hurts his stock”

 

“I understand the trepidation people have to pay through the nose to get a player that was available for less than $10 in 12 team mixers the previous year, but E5 deserves your auction dollars and early snake draft pickup. Monster season coming again”

 

“Had his put-it-all-together Bautista '10-like breakout last season”

 

“Encarnacion has always had power, but 42 HR seems like an aberration. Depending on where he hits in the Blue Jays lineup, though, he could do some majore R and RBI damage.”

 

“Edwin has always been a streaky hitter. But last season he was finally able to smash the ball at the rate we all knew he could. 40+ HRs/110+ RBIs could scream fluke, but then again you should not go lightly on him and let another owner steal that potential.”

“Peralta comes into 2013 in great shape. His power numbers have always been above average, until he started playing for Detroit and that huge ball park. This year the Tigers lineup is more stacked than ever, which means if he can hit .250 with 15 HRs, you may get 75+ RBIs. ”
