“If you're drafting Mauer, make sure you get your power elsewhere. He can supplement a moderate AVG team, though.”

 

“bounced back some in 2012 see more then 10 HR this year & a .300 avg (from a catcher is great) ”

“keep waiting for Markakis to take a step forward, but at this point it does not seem likely”

“On my all bust team for 2013. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”

 

“Joe is one of those catchers who will get you a great RBI total, along with an award winning batting average. Not to mention nearly 100 Runs. While also throwing in some low double digit HR totals to go with double digit steals. He will make you happy as a fantasy owner.”

“All Contact and No Power makes Nick a very overrated Fantasy Player. Nick was actually on pace to hit 20 HRs in 2012, first time since 2008. Markakis is best known for hitting doubles and being a 2nd half MVP. Nick could have put up a huge season if he would of stayed healthy. Still 20/100 is the best it will get these days for him.”
