“The move to Toronto, and playing for a contender, should do wonders for his fantasy value, with a nice bump in HR, runs and the usual pile of stolen bases. The idea that Reyes is a major injury risk is greatly exaggerated. ”

“If Upton falls in your draft because of his so-so 2012, you best pounce. A healthy Upton joins his brother in a suddenly potent Atlanta lineup. He?s a five-category stud entering the prime of his career and could easily end up in the top 5 at the end of the season. ”

“Reyes could score over 110 runs, while stealing over 40 bases, and knocking out 10 HRs. Doing all this while hitting over .300. If you let Reyes slip because of his bad season in Miami where he still managed to hit 10+ HRs and steal 40 bases. You are giving away one of the most prized players in Fantasy Baseball.”

“Justin had a fluke season in 2012 and should go right back to the 40 HR/110 RBI/20 SB player you know you can get. Do not be shy on taking an early pick on Justin despite the poor 2012 where he only hit 18 HRs. Players like J-UP do not grow on trees.”

“Reyes is my #1 Shortstop and he should be your #1 shortstop. Turf Schmurf, he's a stud, in a studly lineup. Target him”

“DIdn't we learn enough with Alex Rios and Aaron Hill after atrocious 2011 seasons and they bounced-back to previous levels and then-some? All systems go for the younger Upton in 2013. DRAFT HIM”

“Explosive TOR offense nice, but Rogers Centre turf not ideal for health”

“Even w/ injury issues, has established a .280, 20/20ish floor”

“Reyes is the classic high-speed, low-power shortstop that we all grew up watching. I'd expect him to break the 100 Runs mark again, now that he's in Toronto.”

 

“On my 2013 all bust team.”

“We are splitting hairs when trying to decide between talking Verlander or Kershaw in round 1 of fantasy baseball drafts as both pitchers are top options. Kershaw is still maturing at the age of 25 and pitches in a better pitcher?s park. When comparing both Verlander and Kershaw, although they have similar stats over the past 2 years, I feel that Verlander is the easier pitcher to project from a statistical standpoint. Which Kershaw will we see this season? ...”

 

“JUp really benefited from playing his home games in Chase Field”
