“Nathan is the man for the Rangers, and he should be the man in your Fantasy bullpen. As long as he stays healthy, 40+ Saves is in his future. Joakim Soria is a little scary as the 8th INN guy, but he should stay away from Nathan's save chances.”

“Joey bats had a terrible wrist injury that cut his potential 60 HR season short. If you wanted to fear his power was gone, it did not take long for him to launch a HR in Spring Training as he did it in his second game. Go ahead and tag Jose for 50 HRs and a great sleeper pick since he will not go in the first couple of rounds.”

 

“Wrist injury derailed what would have been 3rd straight 40-HR ”

 

“Small chance he can bounce back to .300 .. in 2010 when he hit .260 he hit a .322 expected batting average , and last year he hit .240 with a expected batting average of .280 .. Reason it might not consolodate is high number of flyballs and low # of line drives (only 14% in 2010 and 2012)”

 

“The only thing keeping Bautista down in the rankings is the question of whether he can return to top form after his wrist injury. ”

 

“2012 wrist injury and surgery concern me, plus he lost his third base eligiblity”
