“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? ...”

 

“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. ”

 

“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”

 

“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.”

 

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

 

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