“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.”

“Berkman is going to have to be a MONSTER for the Rangers who need all the power they can get after losing Hamilton and Napoli. The transaction for Berkman to go into his home state Texas could mean big things. Especially this is exactly the same situation for Berkman before he exploded with the Cardinals a couple seasons ago. Once everyone writes off Lance, that's when he is at his best. Great sleeper who could hit 30/100.”

“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. ”
