“25 steals and 90 Runs is enough to make you not care about HR from your shortstop.”

“Castro's power is developing nicely, and is beginning to pair well with his AVG and speed.”

“Could he be traded?? Open door to Profar?”

 

“He?s still only 24, but if you?re starting fantasy shortstop is going to hit just a handful of homers, you need a guarantee of 30-plus steals, and he dipped down to 21 last season. ”

“You know a jump into the elite tier of fantasy shortstops is coming at some point. The 22-year-old has increased his home runs, R.B.I. and stolen bases in each of his first three seasons. A 20-30 season could be in the cards. ”

“Andrus has always lacked in the power department, and his 40+ SB potential is now looking at 30+ max. Elvis will be drafted way too high as other middle infielders like Jose Altuve who get drafted many rounds later will put up the exact same production if not better for your roster.”

“Castro is a solid player who should hit .300 and drive in 20+ HRs and steal 20+ Bases any season now. He is one of the best young talents in the game and will easily be the #1 SS in Fantasy Baseball sometime in the next handful of years. Now is your chance to get him at a discount before everyone is all over him.”

 

“Power leap will make him truly elite, but that probably not likely in '13”
