Who Should I Draft?

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

“No. 1 roto value in '12 is most disruptive all-around force in MLB”

“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)”

“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.”

“Trout comes into this season 30 LBs heavier than his day 1 weight in 2012. Those 49 SBs are likely to drop, but the 30 HRs could go up to 50 now that he knows he is the best player in baseball. No question he will lead the MLB in runs.”

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

“When was the last time someone burst onto the fantasy baseball scene at age 21 like this guy? Even if he regresses, he?s putting up first-round value in all five categories, and who knows if he?s going to regress at all? ”

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

“BA may regress, but he should be able to at least match his 5 months of 2012 production playing a full season in 2013”

“My drafting philosophy over the years has been risk adverse in the early draft rounds. Your first round pick is the anchor and foundation of your team. And although Mike Trout had an outstanding rookie season, he?s only done it one time. We have such a small sample size in one season, or do we? If you take a look at last season and his time in the minor leagues, they don?t compare. Year AB HR HR/AB SB Att SB CS SB Success Rate AVG 2010 508 10 50....”

“Potential for one of the best seasons ever, but sophomore slump is a possibility”
