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

“We?re getting to a point where Rollins could be considered underrated. His age (34) will scare many, but he?s still stealing 30 bases a season and is still a 20+ home run threat. ”

“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.”

“The aging Rollins is still stealing 20 bases, scoring 100 runs, and hitting 20 HR. Let's not pretend that he's ageless, though.”

“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.”

“Don't look now, but Jimmy Rollins is coming off of a 20 HR/30 SB season. Health has always been a concern for the former NL MVP, and if he is healthy he is right up there with the best of them. I would not let Jimmy Rollins slip out of my grasp when players like Ben Zobrist and Elvis Andrus get drafted in front of him.”
