Who Should I Draft?

“Votto missed about 50 games due to injury in 2012, but still produced more than most Shortstops.”

“Weeks battled a nasty ankle injury last season, and it killed his numbers in the first half. He'll hit 30 HR if he's healthy all season.”

“Joey Votto also fell to the injury bug and missed 2 months on the DL with an injured knee in 2012. With his knee injury behind him, I look for the 29 year old Votto to return to form and to be a safer pick from regression than Albert Pujols. Joey Votto R HR RBI SB BA Three Year Average 89 27 91 10 0.323 2013 Projection 96 31 103 6 0.320 ”

“You cannot blame anyone for selecting Votto over Pujols, but will his surgically-repaired left knee hold up for the entire season?”

“With 13 homers and 10 stolen bases after the All-Star break, he proved he can still play and proved he's still as streaky as ever. ”

“7th in MLB in Doubles (44), 3rd in Walks (94) despite just 111 games”

“Votto is losing power potential by the season. Last year was cut short with an injury, and time is starting to tick as he has yet to hit over 30+ HRs in consecutive seasons and approaching 29 HRs. The speed is not the same as it once was, but the batting average should remain ELITE.”

“Weeks was one of the bigger busts in Fantasy Baseball for the 1st half of 2012 not being able to do anything but strikeout. He still finished 2012 with 21 HR and 16 SB, which is great considering barely any 2B options hit 20+ HRs and steal 15+ bases. Draft Rickie like he is an all-star who won't help your batting average. He is one of the most electric at this position.”

“found his power stroke towards the end of the season, but BA and BABIP were around .245 last 30 days”
