“Insane HR/FB spike likely to regress but, at 27, maybe not much”

 
Sablich Brothers
The New York Times

“If you?re into sabermetrics, then his .332 batting average on balls in play in 2012 should be a red flag. But even if he dies regress, another 20-20 season is not a stretch by any means. ”

 
Muntradamus
Beast Dome

“Desmond is a very underrated 20/20 SS with the potential to continue to improve every season. One of the most impressive parts of Desmond is the fact he will do all of his intangible Fantasy numbers while hitting near .300. It does not get much better than that for SS's in Fantasy Baseball.”

“Josh was the man for the Dodgers having an ERA under 3.00 being with the squad in his last 7 starts. Look for him to continue that success in 2013 and makes an excellent sleeper with a very nice K potential. Does not get much easier for Josh who has one of the best offenses in baseball giving him run support.”

Tim Young
MLB Soup

“A repeat of .292 AVG and 25 HR is probably too good to be true. But given the scarcity of shortstops, he's worth taking a chance on.”
