“Big Game James is now with a Royals team that will covet him like a true Ace. He is a great pitcher who will get you 200+ Ks and an ERA that keeps you more than happy in the 3.00 Range. He should get his 15+ Wins which makes him an excellent steal come draft day.”

“Cuddyer was primed to be a 30/100 player before injuries cut his season short. He comes into 2013 with a clean bill of health, and some surprise speed to show us that 13 SBs with those 30 HRs was definitely possible. Do not sleep on Cuddyer who has a HUGE edge playing for the Rockies, wait till he plays there in the Summer.”

“On my 2013 all bust team. Look at his pitching stats in outdoor stadiums/”
