“Insane HR/FB spike likely to regress but, at 27, maybe not much”

 

“If you?re into sabermetrics, then his .332 batting average on balls in play in 2012 should be a red flag. But even if he dies regress, another 20-20 season is not a stretch by any means. ”

 

“Desmond is a very underrated 20/20 SS with the potential to continue to improve every season. One of the most impressive parts of Desmond is the fact he will do all of his intangible Fantasy numbers while hitting near .300. It does not get much better than that for SS's in Fantasy Baseball.”

 

“A repeat of .292 AVG and 25 HR is probably too good to be true. But given the scarcity of shortstops, he's worth taking a chance on.”
