“Hosmer hit the Sophomore wall harder than any player in baseball could in 2012. Eric has 30/100 potential with 20 SBs, but last season was such a huge step backwards with 16 HR and a batting average under .240, that nobody wants to touch him high. Do yourself a favor and wait on Hoz who could be a stud, but then again this 1B position is deeper than any in fantasy baseball.”

“Kinsler went from a 30/30 player to a 20/20 player. We all know he is closer to the 30/30 potential and Kinsler seemed to be very ICE cold at a lot of bad times throughout the 2012 season. If Kinler remains consistent like players in the BEAST category should, you can get one of the most dynamic fantasy players in the game today at a scarce position. He will always be among the league leaders in runs.”

 

“Kinsler has hit 18 or more HR and stolen more than 20 bases 5 of the last 6 seasons (other one due to injury), and 2 of those seasons were 30HR/30SB years.”

 

“Kinsler has a history of being injury-prone and has produced inconsistent power and average numbers, but still among the better options. ”

 

“I believe his 30/30 seasons more than last year”

 

“Rollercoaster ride, but you should get .260/20/80/100/20 in the end”
