“Castro is a solid player who should hit .300 and drive in 20+ HRs and steal 20+ Bases any season now. He is one of the best young talents in the game and will easily be the #1 SS in Fantasy Baseball sometime in the next handful of years. Now is your chance to get him at a discount before everyone is all over him.”

“Yoenis is going to be a 30/30 player very shortly. So shortly I would say it happens in 2013 as he would have easily accomplished the feat if he did not get injured early on in the season. Cespedes is one of the brightest young stars in the game.”

“Power leap will make him truly elite, but that probably not likely in '13”

“Fantasy's No. 14 hitter over final 93 games of '12 (.299, 17/12)”

“You know a jump into the elite tier of fantasy shortstops is coming at some point. The 22-year-old has increased his home runs, R.B.I. and stolen bases in each of his first three seasons. A 20-30 season could be in the cards. ”

“He adjusted to major league pitching incredibly well in his rookie season, showing potential to be a 30-20 player with a .300 average and strong run production in his age 27 season. ”

“Castro's power is developing nicely, and is beginning to pair well with his AVG and speed.”

 
 

“Cespedes hit 23 home runs and stole 16 bases in just 129 games project that over a full season and it is easy to project Cespedes as a 30 HR, 20+ steal player. ”
