“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.”

“If Zobrist is Kinsler-Light with SS and OF eligibility, then Prado is Zobrist-Light, with 3B eligibility.”

“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.”

“Prado has always been a player that won't give you a lot of anything. But he will do just enough of everything to be one of the most overvalued players in baseball. His position elgibility does make him a threat as they do not get much better than him. But his 15+ HR/70 RBI/15+ SB with a solid batter average does tend to get drafted a little to high every year.”

“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. ”

 
 

“Move to Chase Field gives Prado a slight edge over the verstaile Zobrist”
