“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.”

 

“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.”

“Kelly Johnson is a player that can really hurt your batting average and hit near .225, but he can also be a player to give you 20 HRs and 80+ RBIs. TB gave Kelly a 1 year prove it deal, which should bring out the best of his bat.”

“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. ”
