Who Should I Draft?

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

“Pitching equivalent of Miggy - elite production you can take to the bank”

“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)”

“velocity on all pitches dropped last year; Fastball velocity has declined last 4 years”

“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.”

“Nealry 250 Ks. An ERA in the 3.00 Range. 20+ Wins. That is what you should get and expect from Verlander in 2013 who is always the best.”

“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”

“glad he chose not to participate in the WBC due to all the high intensity innings he has pitched last few years”

“Most likely to be the first starting pitcher off the board, I expect some continued regression from Verlander. Win are the toughest statistic to project each season and he won?t repeat the 24-5 record in 2011, but 17-18 wins this season should be a solid projection. He is now 30 years old, but has some years left in the tank. I personally do not take a starting pitcher in the early rounds of fantasy baseball league drafts, but if you want an ace to anchor...”

“Verlander, like Kershaw, has everything you could hope for.”
