Who Should I Draft?

“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.”

“All Contact and No Power makes Nick a very overrated Fantasy Player. Nick was actually on pace to hit 20 HRs in 2012, first time since 2008. Markakis is best known for hitting doubles and being a 2nd half MVP. Nick could have put up a huge season if he would of stayed healthy. Still 20/100 is the best it will get these days for him.”

“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...”

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

“keep waiting for Markakis to take a step forward, but at this point it does not seem likely”

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

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

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