Who Should I Draft?

“By now you know what you're getting with King Felix. 220+ Ks, an ERA in the 3.00 range, and the headache of seeing no run support. This season could be different as the Mariners brought some bats in, which could make Felix a 20 game winner if everything goes as planned.”

“Votto is losing power potential by the season. Last year was cut short with an injury, and time is starting to tick as he has yet to hit over 30+ HRs in consecutive seasons and approaching 29 HRs. The speed is not the same as it once was, but the batting average should remain ELITE.”

“Felix has just as much ability as Kershaw and Verlander, but being on the Mariners holds him back.”

“Votto missed about 50 games due to injury in 2012, but still produced more than most Shortstops.”

“Has averaged 2.82 ERA and 224 K over past 4 seasons”

“7th in MLB in Doubles (44), 3rd in Walks (94) despite just 111 games”

“staying away from him on draft day, has logged a lot of innings last few years, fences moving in, and tough division”

“Joey Votto also fell to the injury bug and missed 2 months on the DL with an injured knee in 2012. With his knee injury behind him, I look for the 29 year old Votto to return to form and to be a safer pick from regression than Albert Pujols. Joey Votto R HR RBI SB BA Three Year Average 89 27 91 10 0.323 2013 Projection 96 31 103 6 0.320 ”

“You cannot blame anyone for selecting Votto over Pujols, but will his surgically-repaired left knee hold up for the entire season?”
