Evan Longoria, TB, 3B/DH | Grab | Second best 3B in baseball. | Grab | Grab if you miss out on Miggy or Beltre. |
Felix Hernandez, Sea, SP | Grab | Stats will be great … not so many wins though. | Grab | Great pitcher in a great pitcher’s park. |
Hanley Ramirez, LAD, 3B/SS | Pass | Eligibility is great, player isn’t. | Pass | Only 1.2 WAR the last two seasons. |
Stephen Strasburg, Was, SP | Grab | Ks will roll in during a 200 IP campaign. | Pass | Stamina is a concern, especially during fantasy playoffs. |
David Price, TB, SP | Pass | Possibility of trade scares me away. | Pass | Not as infallible as Verlander or Kershaw. |
Dustin Pedroia, Bos, 2B | Pass | He’s a good second baseman, just not third round good. | Pass | Will probably mash, but won’t get much help from a weak Boston lineup. |
Ian Kinsler, Tex, 2B | Grab | Doesn’t have the average but grab for the odd numbered year HRs (Over 30 in ’09 & ’11). | Grab | Power, speed and a lot of guys to drive him in. |
Jason Heyward, Atl, OF | Grab | Young masher in a good lineup. | Grab | Breakout year is imminent. |
Jose Reyes, Tor, SS | Pass | Not a .300 hitter, but people always think he will be. | Grab | The best shortstop out there. |
Matt Cain, SF, SP | Grab | Second best pitcher in the NL. | Pass | Like him a lot, but not a third round pick. |
