Who Should I Draft?

“On my 2013 all bust team.”

“We are splitting hairs when trying to decide between talking Verlander or Kershaw in round 1 of fantasy baseball drafts as both pitchers are top options. Kershaw is still maturing at the age of 25 and pitches in a better pitcher?s park. When comparing both Verlander and Kershaw, although they have similar stats over the past 2 years, I feel that Verlander is the easier pitcher to project from a statistical standpoint. Which Kershaw will we see this season? ...”

“It's tough to look at Hanley's batting average over the last two years, knowing that he was once a top overall pick.”

“20/20 return in '12; love his lineup surroundings (Kemp, A-Gon, Ethier)”

“Even w/ injury issues, has established a .280, 20/20ish floor”

“Out 8 weeks with a thumb injury.”

“If Upton falls in your draft because of his so-so 2012, you best pounce. A healthy Upton joins his brother in a suddenly potent Atlanta lineup. He?s a five-category stud entering the prime of his career and could easily end up in the top 5 at the end of the season. ”

“Injured - Out 8 Weeks (Thumb) - If drafting, use at SS.”

“Hanley was a new player for the Dodgers in 2012. When he went to LA all of his numbers doubled and turned his season to a modest 20/20. If he would have been a Dodger all of 2012 and stayed motivated like we know he was not in Miami. Hanley is easily back to the 30/30 player which made him a 1st round pick a couple years ago. Draft Hanley Ramirez in the 3rd round of any draft, there are not many who are as dynamic as he is, and the Dodgers are playing for a World Series in 2013.”

“Justin had a fluke season in 2012 and should go right back to the 40 HR/110 RBI/20 SB player you know you can get. Do not be shy on taking an early pick on Justin despite the poor 2012 where he only hit 18 HRs. Players like J-UP do not grow on trees.”

“high risk/high reward ”

“JUp really benefited from playing his home games in Chase Field”

“DIdn't we learn enough with Alex Rios and Aaron Hill after atrocious 2011 seasons and they bounced-back to previous levels and then-some? All systems go for the younger Upton in 2013. DRAFT HIM”
