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.”

“Marcum looks to be a candidate for bounce back player of the year after getting injured in 2012. His ERA was still below 3.70 but we all know his potential is so much higher. The Mets will not get him wins, but he could get himself a solid 160+ Ks and a good ERA.”

“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”

“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”
