“Goldschmidt hit the ground running in 2012. But think about this. He's still adjusting to Major League pitching, having skipped AAA. He could be ready for a big breakout.”

 

“Solid Gold: Led 1Bs in SB (18) and was + roto contributor in all 5 cats”

 

“Sure, he strikes out a lot, but he's only 23 and worst-case, he's a lock for 20 HR and 15 SB. Best case? He jumps to the next tier. ”

 

“Goldy was supposed to be a 40 HR type of hitter, instead he surprised everyone and stole nearly 20 Bases. While we want to think it is a fluke, there is no reason we will not see 10+. Paul is a good sleeper as he could explode for 30/20, but then again there are a lot of 1B options and reaching for Schmidt may not be the price of admission.”
