“Beckham started to find his power stroke in the second half of the season finishing with 16 bombs. While it is possible he can be a player that will hit 25 in a season, the 15+ Range seems like a safer number to aim for when drafting him.”

“Kipnis is a player that should be a 20 HR/30 SB player as early as 2013. If we needed to find a version of Brian Roberts back in his prime, Jason Kipnis is that man. Jason can rake the ball and soon all those doubles will turn into bombs. We should see Kipnis do damage once again with an even better Indians squad this season.”

 

“In 1st full season, top 5 among 2Bs in SB (31), Runs (86), RBIs (76)”

 

“If Kipnis can continue to progress, he could be a first rounder some day. He's a great pick in keeper leagues.”

 

“He followed up an amazing first half with lots of ugly in the second. A nice balance of power and speed but inconsistency of 2012 a concern. ”
