“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.”

“Youkilis should thrive in his first season as a Yankee. Kevin exploded after he left the Red Sox for the White Sox, and the Yankees will be looking for Kevin to help replace A-Roid as quickly as he can. The 20 HR/100 RBI season could be in the works, and I would draft him with that mindset as a real possibility.”

“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. ”

 
 

“dude looks like a lumberjack and has a batting stance like a ballerina, but it works WHEN he can stay healthy”
