Harper has not disappointed to start off the 2013 season. After finishing with 13 HR in the final two months of last season, he has picked up right where he left off, connecting on 5 HR through his first 14 games. With a full slate of games on tap for 2013, I see Harper vastly improving in every major hitting category. Another factor that works in Harper's favor is his charisma both on and off the field. He always puts forth tremendous effort, and is a clear leader in the clubhouse. That in and of itself is an extraordinary accomplishment. For a player to come into the league and command the respect of coaches and veterans alike in his rookie season the way Harper did, is almost unheard of. One factor that will play largely into whether he ultimately wins the award is whether the Nationals can duplicate their success from a season ago.<br />

There's no player in the game on a hotter streak than Upton right now. Upton has 8 HR through his teams first 14 games, and has the Braves sitting at an MLB best 12-2. Upton has flashed MVP ability before in his career, but has dealt with inconsistent play at times. This will be the season he breaks out as a true superstar. The scariest part about the start to Upton's season is that while he has been on fire, Jason Heyward and Upton's older brother B.J. have been slumping. Just imagine the numbers younger Upton can put up once the offense truly catches fire. If Upton can stay consistent and keep the Braves atop the N.L. East, there's no reason to believe he can't win this award.<br />

Over the last three seasons, there has been no better pitcher in the MLB than Kershaw (other than possibly Justin Verlander). If Verlander can pull off an MVP award like he did in 2011, then why not Kershaw? Kershaw hasn't seen the consistently high win totals in his career, thanks to a less than great Dodgers team in the past. The 2013 Dodgers are a different story though. Their lineup includes the likes of Matt Kemp, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Andre Ethier. Easily the best offensive talent Kerhsaw has had at his disposal at any point in his career. I expect the added offensive talent to add to Kershaws win total, with him possibly reaching the 21 wins he put up in 2011.<br />

Call me crazy for saying this, but I believe Bumgarner can match Kershaw in nearly every major category this season. I see Kershaw winning out in terms of strikeouts, but Bumgarner making up for it with a league leading 22 wins. The only thing that could hold Bumgarner back is that his offense doesn't have the potential to quite as explosive as the lineup Kershaw is gifted with. The giants are however a scrappy team with last years MVP winner Posey leading the way, so anything is possible.<br />

Trout put up such an amazing rookie season, that he had people in the sports world clamoring for him to win the MVP award as a rookie. The most incredible part of his six first place votes, was that the guy who won MVP and got the other 22 first place votes had just won the first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. That speaks volumes to the type of season Trout put up. In my opinion, it was the greatest rookie season in history. From his hitting statistics to his fielding ability (robbing HRs like it's no big deal), he is the complete package. His speed/power<br />

Ellsbury is in a contract year, and he has John Farrell as his manager. Those two things equal a potentially HUGE season for Ellsbury in 2013. Farrell stole 254 bases between 2011 & 2012 while with the Blue Jays, which was good for 4th best in the A.L. With Farrell in town, Ellsbury could steal close to the 70 bases he did back in 2009 (assuming he stays healthy). Don't forget that Ellsbury has had an MVP caliber season already in his career in 2011 when he finished second to Justin Verlander. I'm expecting a line similar his 2011 stats, except with less power output and more stolen bases to make up for it.<br />

Miguel Cabrera has been tearing up the league with ease ever since his arrival. In fact, there has been no more consistent force in the league since 2004. The guy is a virtual lock for a .310 average, 30+ HR, 110+ RBI, and 100+ runs scored every season. Throw in his Triple Crown and MVP award from last season, and you may have the most feared hitter in the game today. His start to 2013 has been right on track with his production over the last 9 seasons, and I'd expect nothing else. The only thing holding Cabrera back in my mind from winning back-to-back MVP awards, is that he raised the bar so high last season, that nothing can match up to it. Add in the fact that the Tigers have the A.L. MVP from the past two seasons, and I don't see them taking it for a third straight year.<br />

This pick for me is mainly due to my belief for the continued success of the Rangers, despite the loss of Josh Hamilton . Kinsler has been a good, and at times great player. His issue throughout his career separating him from being a truly great player has always been his inconsistency. The Rangers loss of Hamilton will hurt, but I see it as a positive for Kinsler, who I believe will take on more of a leader role as a result. I'm predicting Kinsler to have his best season as a pro, and to lead the Rangers to the playoffs with a Wildcard berth.<br />

<b>The Rays scored themselves one of the best prospects in the game when they traded James Shields and Wade Davis in exchange for Myers last season. It was a brilliant move on their part. They traded from an area of strength & depth (pitching) and scored a player who put up 37 HR with 109 RBI last season in the minors. Offense was a major issue for the Rays last season, as they finished with 175 HR and a .240 average as a team, good for fourth and fifth in the A.L. East, respectively. That leads me to believe a promotion to the big leagues is likely to happen sooner rather than later for Myers, unless the Rays can hold off until June 1st (to prevent his arbitration clock from ticking). When Myers does arrive, I'm expecting him to make an impact similar to that of Bryce Harper from last season. </b></div>

<b>Myers may have edged Taveras in several hitting categories last season, but in terms of pure hitting prospects, there is no one better than Taveras in the minors. Taveras natural hitting ability has been compared to that of Vladimir Guerrero, which I'm guessing is a welcomed comparison for any hitter. Much like Guerrero, Taveras has an aggressive approach at the plate, with a violent swing. The part of his game that makes him truly special is his ability to connect on almost any ball thrown his way. In fact, if it weren't for the Cardinals depth in the outfield, Taveras would already be raking at the major league level.</b></div>

I wouldn't be surprised to see Profar making the All Star team annually, and competing for MVP awards in his prime. Playing in Texas only improves the outlook for Profar's offensive output, as we have seen what that ballpark can do for a player. I wouldn't bank solely on the Texas ballpark for Profar's outlook, as there have been trade rumors for awhile now. With Elvis Andrus manning SS and inked to a long term deal, there might not be room in Texas for Profar. Regardless of where he ends up playing, expect big things.</b></div>

<b>Bundy is considered one of the best high school pitchers in draft history. He has overpowering stuff, and command well beyond his years. The most incredible part of Bundy's 2012 season is that he went all the way from Low-A to Baltimore (albeit for 2 games). I wouldn't expect Bundy to be promoted until June 1st at the earliest, and once he is promoted, he will be handled gently (especially with the recent injury news). Bundy is currently dealing with some right elbow and forearm tightness, but is expected to begin a throwing regime soon. There's no reason to rush him back and risk further injury, especially since Baltimore will likely have him on an innings limit throughout the 2013 season. </b></div>

With Stephen Drew in town on a one year contract, and Jose Iglesias as his backup, there is a logjam at SS for the Red Sox in 2013. That leads me to believe that it will be hard for Bogaerts to get any action in the big leagues this year, with a debut in 2014 being more realistic. Regardless of his promotion date, Bogaerts has all the tools necessary to be a fixture in the Sox lineup over the next decade. He has the potential to be a .300 hitter with 30 HR which is great production at any position.</b></div>

For many, Trout has nowhere to go but down. I disagree. Two things are working in Trout's favor for his sophomore season that were missing in his rookie campaign-- the knowledge acquired from his rookie season, and the addition of Josh Hamilton. The Angels lineup is stacked more so than in 2012, and as a result I'm expecting Trout to build on his historic rookie season. Expect him to finish among the top in stolen bases and lead the league in runs scored.<br />

Harper is an exciting player to watch and one of those players you love to root for. As I mentioned in a previous article (Harper vs. Trout), I would take Harper if I were starting a team today (fantasy or reality). His power potential is unparalleled, outside of possibly Giancarlo Stanton. I see Harper challenging for the NL MVP and finishing among the top five overall players in fantasy by season's end.<br />

McCutchen is an intriguing player for the 2013 season and beyond. I see his power numbers continuing to grow, as they have every season.

Upton has been on a tear to start the season with a .340 avg and 8 HR through the first 13 games of the season. It seems Upton is taking full advantage of his fresh start in Atlanta, as he has the team off to a league best 12-1 start. Clearly he has to slow down in terms of the power numbers, but with the lineup around him, expect him to have his best season yet in the pros.<br />

We've seen what Ellsbury is capable of doing when healthy over a full season (2011). The guy finished second in the MVP balloting for the season in 2011, hitting for a .321 avg, with 32 HR, 105 RBI, 119 Runs and 39 SB. This being a contract year, I see Ellsbury putting up a similar line. I'd say to expect less HR (around 25), but he will make up for it by swiping 50+ bases. I'm predicting Ellsbury to finish second in the MVP race for a second time in his career.<br />

Hamilton is a hard player to rank for me. He is a great hitter in a great lineup, but I'm not sure how he will take to playing in L.A. I don't know if he has the mentality to be able to succeed, especially with the added pressure of such high expectations. A big contract comes with big expectations, and I'm not sure he can live up to those expectations. With that being said, I still see him putting up 30 HR and 100 RBI. Just don't expect him to go on the tear he had in the first half of last season.</div>

Stanton can thank his team (the Marlins) for his low rank. His #9 rank may not seem low to some people, but this guy has top 3 potential in any other lineup (except maybe the Astros). Stanton has the potential to compete for the MVP award consistently year-in-and-year-out if he can is surrounded by the necessary talent. Myself being a Stanton owner, I'm praying for a trade out of Miami. I think despite his team, he will still put up 35 HR and 90 RBI.</div>

Adam Jones had been a good player in his career up until last year. Last year, he finally took the leap into stardom territory. Jones hasn't disappointed to start off the 2012 season. He has a hit in every game except one and is sporting a .400 avg, 11 RBI and 13 Runs scored through the first 13 games. I'd expect him to build off of his strong 2012 season, and surpass nearly every category.</div>

Bruce is a power hitter. Plain and simple, he will get you 35 HR and close to 100 RBI every season. The issue with Bruce is he is a .256 career hitter, who I believe has about reached his ceiling. I wouldn't expect to see any big changes in terms of his overall hitting line from what he put up in 2012.<br />

<br />
Rios doesn't get the credit he deserves in fantasy circles. I'll be the first to admit that I overlooked him again in fantasy drafts this season, letting him slip too far. After having arguably the best season of his career in 2012, he has started of 2013 in the same fashion. Rios is hitting for a .352 avg, with 4 HR and 3 SB's through the first 14 games of the season. I see him finishing the season with a .300 avg and 25 HR - 25 SB. If you can trade for him, I would.<br />

I listed Crawford on my off-season top value picks list, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Through 14 games, Crawford is hitting .392, with 1 HR, 12 runs scored and 2 SB's. In the current Dodgers lineup, Crawford will finish among the league leaders in runs scored and will offer good stolen base production.<br />

Starling Marte is another name I preached about all off-season. I think Marte with McCutchen will be huge parts of why the Pirates will make the playoffs this season. Marte has started off hot to his 2013 campaign, and I'd expect him to finish with a .300 avg, 20 HR and 30+ SB's.<br />

My bold statement for Jackson is that he will lead the league in runs scored. How could be not in a lineup featuring Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez? Jackson saw a decrease in his stolen bases last season, but I'd say that is more of an outlier than a trend. Expect a .300 avg, with 15 HR, 130 Runs, and 25 SB.<br />

Chris Davis started off the season by hitting a HR in his first four games. His power numbers have cooled off a bit, but he is still hitting for a .349 avg., and has 19 RBI through his first 13 games. I'm a fan of the hot start, but I'd expect Davis to cool off a bit. I expect Davis to finish the season with a .275 avg, 35 HR and 90 RBI.<br />

Curtis Granderson can be a very frustrating player to own. He will put up huge numbers as evidenced by 2011 & 2012, but he has the potential to kill your team's average on a weekly basis as he showed last season (.232 avg). If you're drafting Granderson, you need to be patient while he returns from injury and learn to take the good with the bad.<br />

Wil Myers is my number one prospect to watch out for in 2013 and beyond. The Rays always seem to be ahead of the curb in terms of acquiring prospects, and running their farm system. Myers could have close to a Bryce Harper type impact upon his call-up, except I wouldn't expect the pure power numbers right out of the gate.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let me start by saying this... Ryan will have a very good fantasy season in 2013. However, he will not be a top 7 QB, and shouldn't be drafted as one. He put up big stats in 2012, finishing with 4719 yards and 32 TD's. I'd expect a line closer to his 2011 season when he put up 4,177 yards and 29 TD's. He has the weapons in Roddy White and Julio Jones, but I see Steven Jackson's arrival and Tony Gonzalez's age as two concerning factors. Gonzalez proved last season he still is a beast, but can he repeat his last season? My answer is no, he can't.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>2. Arian Foster (RB)</b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEnVaQ9Bea9gYhkJEj8LwvAgArLhzfzIjATgp2nbOlRyvxb7oKOES1GMXsV9cnP5Pbp8cgh-Nvw09cLr_iRvd8EdThUDwePniUiV1a-JD1IROg46JvvV8XWN4s5PvOBVe30nLhbf9XtAw/s1600/arian+foster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEnVaQ9Bea9gYhkJEj8LwvAgArLhzfzIjATgp2nbOlRyvxb7oKOES1GMXsV9cnP5Pbp8cgh-Nvw09cLr_iRvd8EdThUDwePniUiV1a-JD1IROg46JvvV8XWN4s5PvOBVe30nLhbf9XtAw/s1600/arian+foster.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Foster has been a workhorse over the last 3 seasons. Over the last three seasons, he has had 393 touches (2010), 331 in 13 games (2011), and 391 touches (2012). Over that span, he has seen his YPC reduce from 4.9 in 2010 to 4.1 in 2012. I believe he's been over-worked, and an injury isn't far off. Throw in the fact that Foster has Ben Tate backing him up, with Tate's career YPC at 5.1, and I see a drastic decline in production for 2013.<br />

<br />
The loss of Greg Jennings should lead to added opportunities, but there are still too many mouths to feed (Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley). I think he can have a solid season... don't expect the 14 TD's to become a habit though. My projection is for Jones to finish with 65 receptions, 850 yards and 5 TD's. Not sure if this will classify him in your bust category, but I can see him being drafted WAY too early when draft season rolls around.<br />
<br />

</b> <b><span style="color: lime;">4. Reggie Wayne (WR)</span></b><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As much as this pains me to admit (as a Colts fan), I don't see Wayne being able to produce stats similar to what he put up last season. At 34 years old, and turning 35 during the upcoming season, a decline is bound to happen. The Colts are also loaded with young talent at WR and TE, only adding to the chance of a drop in production. I'm not saying not to draft Wayne. Just don't draft him as your WR1 because he won't produce like one. If you can grab him as your second or third WR, then go for it. My projection is for Wayne to finish with 75 receptions, 950-1000 yards and 4 TD's.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>5. Tony Gonzalez (TE)</b></span><br />
<br />
As I mentioned in the Matt Ryan segment above, I don't see Gonzalez being able to repeat his success of last season. At 37, I think it is finally time we see a decline in his fantasy production. I'd expect him to put up a season similar to his 2010 line. Gonzalez will finish with 65-70 receptions, 700 yards and 4-5 TD's. He will still be a TE1, but more of a borderline starter as opposed to top five at the position.<br />

<span style="color: lime;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>1. Ryan Tannehill (QB)</b></span><br />
<br />
Tannehill goes into his sophomore season with a vastly improved supporting cast. The additions of Mike Wallace, Brandon Gibson and Dustin Keller will be a boon to his fantasy value. Throw in the on-field chemistry between Tannehill and Brian Hartline and I could see him throwing for 3,800 yards, 25 TD's and 12 INT's. Of course I wouldn't target Tannheill as my starter, but he is a backup with starter potential. I also see Lamar Miller having a big season, lessening the presser Tannehill will see from defenses. Tannehill might make his way onto a few of my rosters for the 2013 fantasy season.<br />
--Plus, anyone with a wife this attractive (Lauren Tannehill shown below) has to have some skill, right?<br />

Steven Jackson's departure has left the door wide open for Daryl Richardson, who was able to produce on limited touches as a rookie. I believe the Rams will look internally to replace Jackson. That leaves Richardson or Isaiah Pead as the two options to be Jackson's successor. Pead is still raw and I don't see him being able to handle a workhorse role, whereas I can see Richardson toting it around 16-20 times per game. One potential downside to Richardsons fantasy value is the questionable talent surrounding him on the Rams offense. Their offense will once again be a question mark, but Richardson should be one of the few bright spots.<br />

<br />
By the time drafts roll around, I don't see Miller being classified as a sleeper. With Reggie Bush's departure, Miller has a clear shot at the feature back role. I don't see him being a true workhorse with Daniel Thomas in town and because of his smaller size, but we have seen what he is able to do with limited touches. The more Miller produces, the more touches I see him getting. In all honesty, does anyone in the world (even Dolphins coaching/management) see Daniel Thomas as a starting RB in the NFL? I certainly don't!<br />

<span style="color: lime;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>4. Kendall Wright (WR)</b></span><br />
<br />
Wright flashed potential in his rookie season, finishing with 64 receptions for 626 yards and 4 TD's. Those stats shouldn't blow anyone away, but he dealt with injuries and inconsistency at the QB position throughout the season. I don't see that being as much of an issue in his second year. As your WR3, Wright could have weeks where he performs as a WR2, and he can be had for relatively cheap. Expect 75-80 receptions 950 yards and 6-7 TD's. Wright gets a small bump in PPR leagues.<br />

This upcoming season will be Housler's third in the league. It will be his first season with a (somewhat) capable QB. I'm not saying Carson Palmer is the answer for the Cardinals because quite frankly he isn't, but he clearly loves his TE if you look at last years stats. I'd expect Housler to put up numbers close to what Brandon Myers put up in 2012. Look for between 65-70 receptions, 750-800 yards and 4-5 TD's. If you are waiting on a TE until the last rounds, this guy could end up being a real steal. Arians has spoken about how he sees Housler as a big WR, which is welcomed news to fantasy owners ears.<br />

<br />
Posey is in a class all by himself. Posey is coming off a ridiculous 2012 season where he won NL MVP and finished with a .336 avg, 24 HR and 103 RBI. Numbers that good leave him alone at the top, and leave me wondering...is it lonely at the top? I wouldn't reach for him in the first round, but as a second round pick you won't be able to do much better.<br />

Mauer has lost some of the appeal he once had. Does anyone remember his 2009 season? The guy hit for a ridiculous .365 avg, had 28 HR, 96 RBI and 94 R (in only 138 games). Where's that Joe Mauer? He's put up less than stellar stats over the last several seasons. Last season was a step in the right direction (147 games played), and if he can stay healthy I'd expect him to have his best season since 2009.<br />

Wieters is a player who's on the verge of breaking out, and I see him doing so in a big way this season. He has the power to stand out, but needs to improve his plate discipline. I'm predicting him to hit for a .275 avg, with 28 HR and 95 RBI, for his best season as a pro.</div>

Santana, much like Wieters, has had solid numbers so far in his pro career (especially power wise). Much like Wieters though, Santana also needs to improve his plate discipline. I'm expecting Santana to put up almost identical numbers to the line I predicted for Wieters.</div>

<br />
As a DH, Martinez will be able to keep his legs fresh and is less likely to sustain an injury than the catchers ahead of him. His #5 ranking is mainly because he's coming off a torn ACL, which forced him to miss the entire 2012 season. If Martinez is back to full health, expect him to hit for his usual .300 avg with 20+ HR and 90+ RBI.<br />

<br />
With the depth at catcher this year, I'd wait to draft someone from this tier (unless you get one of the top 5 at a great value). A couple names to watch out for are Rosario, and Perez. Roasrio hit 28 HR in 117 games last season, but you shouldn't be expecting much more in terms of power. I'd actually be surprised to see him dupicate that number, as I'm more inclined to believe in a slight regression (around 25 HR). With that being said, I do expect his RBI and Runs to increase thanks to the return of Tulowitzki.<br />

<br />
Perez is an intriguing player in an improving Royals lineup. In 124 career games, Perez has hit for a .307 avg, with 14 HR, 61 RBI and 60 Runs. Not bad for a 22 year old. I'd expect him to continue on with that pace and finish the season hitting .300, with 18 HR 75 RBI and 70 R.<br />

A lot of experts are claiming Montero is ready to take a big step forward this season. Don't count me as one of those people. I see a slight improvement on last year's numbers, but nothing to cause a huge jump in value.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
J.P. Arencibia has been a great power hitter in the pros, and I expect that to continue. Outside of the power numbers, Arencibia has shown that he isn't able to hit for average and he strikes out far too much. If I was hurt by an injury, I'd look to Arencibia, but other than that he's strictly a backup option.<br />

Travis d'Arnaud is just waiting on his chance to hit the pros. When he does expect big things right out of the gate, unless those trade rumors involving the Marlins are true. If that's the case, I'd stay away.<br />

Tulowitzki is a player I love to have on my fantasy team when he's healthy, but 2012 wasn't one of those years. This year Tulo has promised to come back strong, and I believe him. At 28, he's in the prime of his career and I wouldn't be shocked by a .300, 30 HR, 110 RBI, 100 R line this season. The wildcard in his situation is the rest of the offense being able to produce consistently.<br />

<br />
Castro has been a favorite of mine since he broke into the big leagues. I like his offensive game, seeing no true weaknesses. He might not get you the power numbers yet (he's only 23), but I'm expecting him to put up a 20 HR & 25 SB this season, along with his usual .300 average. If you miss out on Tulowitzki, Castro is a great fall-back option who could finish the year ranked first at the position.<br />

</right></right> <right><right>Reyes is an exciting player to watch, and I like his outlook for this season in Toronto. Reyes has a solid lineup around him and he will have plenty of opportunities to run freely on the bases. I wouldn't expect more than 15 HR, but I can see him topping 50 SB's easily. I think there will be some added motivation in the way Miami shipped him out of town (see Jeffrey Loria).</right></right><br />

</right></right> <right><right>People might argue Rollins being included in the top tier of shortstops, but I'd point to his hot start and his production over the last two season as all the proof you need that Rollins belongs. Even at 35, Rollins is a great option if you are looking for HR, SB, and Runs. I don't see this season as the year he falls off because he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down .</right></right></div>

After the top tier, there is a sizable drop off in offensive production. Zobrist seems to make the most sense leading this tier, thanks to his consistency over the last four seasons. Also, Zobrist's value is also on the rise with the upgrades to Tampa Bay's offense; a healthy Longoria, Desmond Jennings development, and the not so far off arrival of Wil Myers. If I missed out on Zobrist, I'd probably pass on the rest of the second tier and take my chances on Hanley Ramirez (and a backup SS while Hanley's out).<br />

If healthy, Hanley would be included in the first tier of players at SS. His injury shelving him for roughly the first two months of the season is the reasoning for the low ranking. Personally I'd advise taking him if you have faith your team can start off strong without him because I see him having a BIG second half of the season. In a lineup with Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier, there will be plenty of offense to go around.<br />

<br />
At this point in his career, Jeter is a fringe fantasy starter at best. As a Red Sox fan, I have no problem acknowledging what a great career he has had. However, his best seasons are behind him at this point. I'd prefer either Josh Rutledge or Alexei Ramirez from this tier. Both players offer the potential of 15 HR & 15 SB at the cost of a mid-to-late round pick.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;"><b>20. Jed Lowrie</b></span><br />
<br />
If you are stuck with one of these shortstops as your starter, you did something REALLY wrong. I will say one thing though, former Red Sox castoffs going to Oakland worked out last year for Brandon Moss and Josh Reddick. Why not take your chances on Jed Lowrie seeing a similar spike in production? He has started off strong, only solidifying my recommendation.</div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> I see Crawford having a good (not great) year in Los Angeles. He will bounce back nicely from a rough stretch in Boston and serve as a solid outfield option for this team, easily out-producing his draft position.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I love Aroldis Chapman's potential, and if this were a real baseball team (not fantasy) I'd take him for my team in a heartbeat. He will be great for K's and Saves, but in a league with no K/9 category, he is not worth a 4th round pick.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Some great picks mixed in with some not so great picks. Mike Trout should be a huge piece of the offense along with Jose Reyes, but too much pitching in the early rounds left this team without much else on offense. As for the pitching, they have a few quality arms in Gonzalez, Weaver and Shields, but they will need Andy Pettitte to have a lot more games like his first of the season in order to be successful.</span></span></div>

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Best pick: Chase Utley (Round 9)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I've been preaching about a strong season from Utley for awhile now. Hopefully you caught on and grabbed him for your team. He has made me look good so far through 5 games with 1 HR, 7 RBI, 4 Runs and 1 SB. Easily could end up helping this team make playoffs.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I like Allen Craig, but I think he could have gone a round later. I like Paul Goldschmidt, Jay Bruce and Austin Jackson better than Craig in the fifth.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">This roster is filled with a lot of injured players to start out the season. This team might struggle out of the gate, but they will be stronger as the season goes on. The offense will be fine with Cabrera carrying the team most weeks. I really didn't like the addition of two pitchers in the first three rounds for this team. Not to knock on Cain or Bumgarner, who are both great pitchers. Just a personal preference of waiting on pitching.</span></span><br />

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Best pick: Dustin Pedroia (Round 3)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Pedroia was typically taken in the third round of drafts this off-season, so it's not like they stole him here. To put it simply, I believe he will be having a big season, possibly performing as a 1st rounder. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I don't see the point in backing up Elvis Andrus with a worse offensive player (and older) at this point in their respective careers. Especially when some solid pitchers went in Round 11. With their biggest mistake coming in the 11th round, this team should have a big season.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"> Outside of the Jeter pick, this team drafted offense early and often, and filled out the roster with quality pitchers who have upside. Never really reaching for a player, but staying true to where they would typically land.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Ethier is a streaky player, who can put up good numbers when healthy. He has the potential to easily out-perform his 13th round draft status.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Hanley would be a steal in the 4th, if he wasn't expected to miss the first 7-8 weeks of the season (with a late May return). I was stunned by the pick and so were several other managers as they voiced their shock by the pick.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">This team made a huge mistake grabbing Hanley as early as they did, seeing as they could have drafted him 2-3 rounds later easily (maybe even further back). Hanley will produce once healthy, but that won't be until late-May, possibly even later. Offensively this team will struggle greatly. They will need Machado, Werth and Dunn to have big seasons. The early selections of relief pitchers (Round 5 & 9) also was a bit questionable when they had bigger needs.</span></span><br />

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Best pick: Chase Headley (Round 10)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Headley is hurt, but he is expected to return in the beginning of May. Getting a starting third baseman, who can produce with the best at his position, in the 10th round can't be seen as anything other than a steal.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Having already drafted so much offense and with Cabrera being a question mark in terms of production (see: steroids), pitching should have been the pick here. Matt Harvey, Jake Peavy and Josh Johnson were all available, and would have been far better choices.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This team went quantity over quality for pitching, which could come back to haunt them. They will need to hit on at least 2 of their pitchers from rounds 19-23. I don't see many teams competing with them offensively.</span></span></div>

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Best pick: Jeff Samardzija (Round 12)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Samardzija finally had his big breakout season as a starter last season. He's been dominant in his two starts this season, and I'm expecting this to continue throughout the season. The wins might not always be there with the Cubs, but he will rack up the strikeouts at ease.</span></span><br />

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Worst pick: Shin-Soo Choo (Round 6)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">There were players still left on the board that I personally would have chosen over Choo (Michael Bourn, and Torii Hunter). I like Choo, I just don't like when he was taken.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This team has a great balance between offense and pitching and I see them competing for the championship barring catastrophic injuries.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Worst pick: Edwin Encarnacion (Round 4)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Encarnacion has been an slightly above average offensive player in his career. He broke out for his best year last season (his 9th), and I just don't buy it. I think he will revert back to old form, as I don't see him hitting another 42 HR in 152 Hits... an unsustainable rate.</span></span><br />

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Best pick(s): Matt Harvey (Round 11) & Will Middlebrooks (Round 15)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Matt Harvey was a hot value pick this off-season, and he has started off the season by delivering on that potential. I like Harvey to put up big numbers, but he will be on an innings limit which could hurt his value later on in the season. As for Middlebrooks, he was in my Best Value by Position post and as I'm typing this (4/7), he's 4-5 with 3 HR and 4 RBI. </span></span></div>

</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I don't buy into the power output from Desmond last year. I think as a 7th round pick, he would have been great, but he won't produce at a 5th round value.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">This team had a solid draft and could be in for a big season if Desmond can prove me wrong and both Lincecum and Lester can rebound from lackluster 2012 seasons. So far Lester has looked great, whereas the jury is still out on Lincecum</span></span><br />

<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Favorite player: Bryce Harper (Round 1)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I think Harper has the potential to finish as the top overall player in fantasy. Being able to score that player with the 10th pick in the draft was impossible to pass up. Plus he's an exciting player to root for, which doesn't hurt.</span></span></div>

</span></span> <b style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Pick I want back: Aramis Ramirez (Round 5)</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Have you ever had a pick come up where the players you have on your queue are drafted right before your turn, and you feel rushed? Yes, that's what happened here. I missed the news of an MRI, and immediately regretted the pick. (I ending up flipping Ramirez and Howie Kendrick after the draft for Ian Kinsler)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">I like Johnson, but he's never healthy and the move to the A.L. East could make his situation worse. This team should have taken Jeff Samardzija or Jon Lester, who both went a couple picks later, and should both have better seasons than Johnson.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Rios finished last season ranked #16 overall. He gets absolutely no respect, and has been going way too late in drafts. I admit I slept on him in this draft, and I'm slightly regretting it at the moment.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The loss of Josh Hamilton will impact the offense more than people would like to admit (especially those Rangers fans who booed him). I do think Beltre will put up good numbers, just not first round numbers.</span></span></div>

</span></span> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Outside of the Beltre pick, this team made some great picks. They took pitching in the early and middle rounds, and filled the offense in with great value picks later on. Age could end up being a concern; Beltre (34), Halladay (35), Rivera (43), Ortiz (37), and Suzuki (39).</span></span><br />

Miguel Cabrera won the first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. He joins a list of 15 Triple Crown winners, joining the likes of Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Lou Gehrig. He is about the most consistent player in the league (which is scary since he's consistently great). He always plays a near full slate of games and is a sure bet for .310+, 35+ HR, 115+ RBI and 100 R. The only area Cabrera doesn't contribute is in the stolen base category. But I'm thinking his owners can forgive him, for what he contributes in every other category.<br />

<br />
David Wright bounced back from an injury riddled and lackluster 2011 season to put up solid stats in 2012. He was rewarded in the off-season with a contract extension by the Mets brass.I believe he will reward them for their trust in him with one of his best seasons. What I like about Wright is his ability to hit for power, and he has the ability to steal 15-20 bags, or maybe more with his (2 SB's already this season).<br />

<br />
Evan Longoria has dealt with his share of injury issues over the last two seasons, however when healthy, he's able to put up solid numbers. Since 2011, Longoria has a .507 slugging percentage to go with a .867 OPS, despite only playing 207 games over that span. I chose the Rays to win the A.L. East, largely on the bat of Evan Longoria.<br />

<br />
<br />
Aramis Ramirez is a solid option if you miss out on the top tier players and don't want to pay the price on Zimmerman and Beltre. Ramirez does have a knee injury to worry about (having an MRI), but if it comes back clean, or if he's only expected to miss a couple games, I'd say grab him. If the injury is serious (I hope not since I drafted him), then clearly stay away.<br />

<br />
<br />
This tier was an extremely hard one to rank for me with injuries causing most of the confusion. I came close to dividing this into two tiers, but couldn't decide on who belonged where... so you get everyone in one. All the players in this tier can make an argument to be starting at 3B regardless of the league format.<br />
With Hanley Ramirez out until late May, you might shy away from drafting him, but he will return to a strong Dodgers lineup once fully healthy. Once Hanley returns, I see him performing with the players listed in the second tier, so drafting (or trading for) him depends on how patient of an owner you can be.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaR39qbpSE462AP9KRRXNOyrPxcDdmeg2sh8UF5P2zsllCByFkqLsqXOhO-5tUVIshlPorhCQwLmugFlBfp_friNKHpszZiEe8nhDJJQ2V2C7YdiG6OuPlk5-Or7QvWvebzGwS66UPBCg/s1600/headley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaR39qbpSE462AP9KRRXNOyrPxcDdmeg2sh8UF5P2zsllCByFkqLsqXOhO-5tUVIshlPorhCQwLmugFlBfp_friNKHpszZiEe8nhDJJQ2V2C7YdiG6OuPlk5-Or7QvWvebzGwS66UPBCg/s320/headley.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Chase Headley is in almost the exact same situation as Hanley, so I will keep this short. He is expected to return sooner than Hanley, but has only had one true great season by fantasy standards. That is the reasoning for his lower ranking.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuocA0VkXJTC2y1iGAO_hVOtGGjdv8Q9ARb1vEyrxFCBiR8jwHz5jDg26jAsYI0eV3SSv7X6RmFjXPU9B2xoo52DU7obBQ0AVuPKC-xbyJfdXT26pMtY2AG4Xe12MjcUHWWv4-H2HfgE4/s1600/middlebrooks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuocA0VkXJTC2y1iGAO_hVOtGGjdv8Q9ARb1vEyrxFCBiR8jwHz5jDg26jAsYI0eV3SSv7X6RmFjXPU9B2xoo52DU7obBQ0AVuPKC-xbyJfdXT26pMtY2AG4Xe12MjcUHWWv4-H2HfgE4/s200/middlebrooks.jpg" width="130" /></a></div><br />
Will Middlebrooks is someone I mentioned in another post (Best Value by Position). Before his injury in 2012, Middlebrooks was performing with some of the best at the position. He is back to full strength now, and should pick up right where he left off. I see him putting up .275, 20 HR, 80 RBI, 75 R and 10 SB. Not bad for a later round pick, allowing you to fill out the rest of your roster.<br />

Last season we saw Pedro Alvarez put up 30 HR and 85 RBI but the rest of his line was less than inspiring. If Alvarez is ever going to truly breakout, this will be the year. I drafted him to backup Aramis Ramirez in one of my leagues, and will need him to perform if Ramirez misses an extended period of time with his knee injury.<br />

Manny Machado, the third pick in 2010 by the Orioles, has star potential written all over him. He has seen limited experience so far in the bigs, with this expected to be his first full slate of games as the Orioles starting third baseman. Take him as a backup in most leagues, with the possibility of him turning into a starter depending on production.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Robinson Cano is the top dog among second baseman. However, the gap isn't as wide as many would like to think thanks to an injury riddled Yankees roster. I'd expect a slow start out of the gate for Cano, until other big name stars (Jeter, Teixeira and Granderson) begin making their returns around mid May. Look for a line somewhere around his usual .300, 30 HR, 100 R, and 100 RBI.<br />
<br />

<br />
Right on the heels of Cano, is Dustin Pedroia. Pedroia welcomes back a healthy Jacoby Ellsbury and Will Middlebrooks, to go along with the additions of Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli. Victorino and Napoli might not put up the numbers they once did, but they are better players then the ones they replaced from a season ago. I'm expecting an AL Wild Card spot for the Red Sox, and Pedroia is a big reason why. Take him confidently as your starting second baseman.<br />

<br />
When missing on the elite players at a position, the overall attention shifts to value (based on your needs). If you are looking for a player with historically good stats, who I'm expecting to rebound, look no further than Chase Utley. Utley has battled injuries over the better part of the last three seasons, but has produced when able to play. I'm picking the Phillies to be National League Champs, and Utley is a big reason why.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
If you are more interested in a younger player with upside, I'd look at Jose Altuve very closely. What he lacks in power numbers, he makes up for in stolen bases. I could easily see him swiping 40 bags, with a .300 average. The only reason he isn't higher in the rankings is because of the dreadful lineup around him in Houston.<br />

14. Kyle Seager</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
15. Josh Rutledge<br />
<br />
Dan Uggla, what do I make of you heading into the 2013 season? Uggla has shown throughout his career that he is a .230 - 250 hitter, who strikes out a lot (150+ K per season) but he offsets that with his power numbers. The problem is last season he didn't supply his usual power numbers. He put up career worsts with 19 HR and 78 RBI which is somewhat worrisome, however I believe the addition of the Upton brothers will mean a return to his 30 HR form with added RBI opportunities.<br />
Seager and Rutledge are the sleeper out of this tier. Personally, I wouldn't be excited to have either one as my starting second baseman, but they do offer some upside. Both are potential 15-15 players at their position which definitely gives them value to owners looking for a little bit of everything.<br />

<br />
I can tell you this for sure... I need Jurickson Profar on at least one of my fantasy teams this season. He is an exciting player to watch, and offers HUGE upside. The only issue is he has no clear timeline to join the Rangers in an everyday capacity.<br />
The rest of this tier consists of just backup second base options or MI starters in deep leagues. Don't plan on drafting any of these players as a starter in a 12-team league.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prince Fielder is the model of consistency. Fielder is your guy if you want a safe choice with great production. His HR totals from 2006-2012 are as follows; 28, 50, 34, 46, 32, 38, 30. Don't forget that Fielder hasn't ever missed more than 5 games in a season. Feel good if you land him with a first round pick and even better if he falls to the second.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I expect Joey Votto to rebound from a injury riddled, lackluster 2012 season. Draft him expecting a return back to his 2011 form (or better). As a .316 career hitter, you can't help but be excited about having Votto on your team as he has the potential to be the contending for the NL MVP. Look for a floor around 30 HR, 100 R, 110 RBI with 8-10 SB. Land him with the 4th-8th pick in the first round and feel confident in the start to a championship fantasy squad.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Buster Posey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the second tier, Adrian Gonzalez stands out to me the most. Gonzalez is undervalued this year despite having a very good year in 2012. I can realistically see him contending with Votto for the NL MVP this season. He's surrounded by talent in the Dodgers lineup and has a history of great production. He will have plenty of RBI opportunities in a lineup that includes Matt Kemp, Carl Crawford, Andre Ethier and Hanley Ramirez (once he returns from injury). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buster Posey is a valuable person to have on your fantasy squad thanks to his dual ability (1B & C). Posey is the undisputed top Catcher in the game in both fantasy and reality. If you land this guy in drafts you can set your lineup and forget it. Roto, points, head-to-head, it doesn't matter because he will deliver. Just check out his NL MVP status from last season for the proof.</div>

12. Freddie Freeman</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anthony Rizzo's production may finally live up to his prospect name tag. In 337 at bats in 2012, Rizzo had 15 HR and 48 RBI. I'm expecting him to finish this season with a .285 average, 25-30 HR and 95 RBI. For Rizzo to make the leap, he will have to improve greatly against lefties, but I'm expecting that to come with added at bats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't buy into Edwin Encarnacion. He's been a slightly above average player throughout his 9 year career, until his sudden explosion last season. His HR rate is clearly unsustainable (42 HR out of his 152 hits). My approach in drafts is to take Encarnacion off my draft board and let someone else worry about him.</div>

For my perfect lineup I'd want a point guard who looks to pass first and shoot as a second option. I need a facilitator, someone who can run the offense with ease. They must be quick enough to be able to handle the fast break, but also able to slow the game down when needed. Defensive skills and rebounding from the position are a plus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rajon Rondo exhibits all of these qualities and is coached by former point guard and current Celtics coach in Doc Rivers. Rondo has been among the league leaders in assists for the last five seasons, and in the last three seasons has averaged over 11 assists per game (insane assist rate!). Mix in his rebounding ability and the turnovers he forces, and you have exactly what I described in the point guard I'd like for my perfect lineup.<br />

Any current dream lineup needs to include both Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Currently LeBron plays small forward in the Miami Heat lineup, but his versatility, size, and freakish athleticism allow him to play defense against nearly every guard or forward in the league (and some centers). LeBron can man-up on players from the likes of Rajon Rondo to Kobe Bryant thanks to his All-NBA defense. Offensively, LeBron is able to play any position from the 1 to 5, thanks again to his athleticism & freakish size. Not only will LeBron be able to score consistently, but he will stop the opponents SG with his lock down defense.<br />

What can I say about Kevin Durant, other then the dude can flat out score the basketball? I mean he has won the scoring title in each of the past three seasons. Durant has exhibited his "clutch" ability in the Olympics and in the Western Conference playoffs over the last few seasons. At 24 years old he continues to grow as a player-- seen by his career highs in steals, blocks assists, FG %, and FT % this season. I see no limit to Durant's potential.<br />

Kevin Love is easily the best power forward in the league and is one of the most dominate big men (when healthy). Love's ability to rebound is unmatched in today's NBA. Add in the fact that Love has a career 3PT % of 35.2, and you have a big body who can rebound and shoot the 3-ball when needed. In fact, Love is the only player in NBA history to averages 20 points, and 13 rebounds per game while shooting over 37 percent from downtown in a season (and he's done it TWICE!) He is redefining the PF position right before our eyes. This ability allows him to stretch out defenses because he isn't afraid to step back to make a shot. </div>

The Grizzlies have been contenders the last couple seasons because of the production and consistency of Gasol's game. Gasol gives you offensive and defensive production, with his only area of weakness being his rebounding rate. That can be overlooked thanks to Kevin Love being more than able to handle the boards. Marc is no longer known as Pau's little brother.<br />

<br />
But with the Final Four here I have new life, and this time I'll be picking with my head instead of my heart (since it always seems to be wrong).<br />
<br />
<b>#1 Louisville v #9 Wichita State</b><br />
<br />
Kevin Ware are you kidding me? That injury was the most brutal injury I've seen in a live sports game since Aaron Ramsey for Arsenal had his leg smashed into pieces by Ryan Shawcross against Stoke City. Just goes to show you, dont skip leg day at the gym. No but seriously I feel absolutely terrible for the kid and hope he has a speedy recovery.<br />
<br />
Now onto the match-up: I honestly feel like it's impossible to beat Louisville over a 40 minute game. Duke hung around with them for the first 25 minutes of the game but ended up getting completely smashed by the time it was over. Louisville run this tournament reminds me of Kentucky's last year when they seemed to be in control of every game they played in. They are just so consistent all game and their defense will tire you out and before you know it you find yourself down 15 with five minutes to go against them.<br />
<br />
Wichita State on the other hand (who i picked to lose in the first round) may be the team to unlock them. They have some big time players and if they get hot from 3, watch out. They hit 14 against Gonzaga and 8 against Ohio State. They got hot early and rode that momentum into the second half where they built a 20 point lead. And with a name like the Shockers, it almost seems like it has to happen.<br />
<br />
This is Louisville's year though, and I feel like they'll comfortably handle Wichita State.<br />
<br />
<img height="240" src="http://www.sports-logos-screensavers.com/user/Louisville_Cardinals3.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
Prediction: Louisville 76 Wichita State 60<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>#4 Michigan vs #4 Syracuse</b><br />
Trey Burke did his job in ruining my life when he hit a 3 pointer from the parking lot against Kansas to send the game into overtime where they eventually beat the Jayhawks. The Wolverines went into the next game against the Gators and easily disposed of them mostly due to their lights out shooting from behind the arc (10-19 from 3).<br />
<br />
They face an interesting match-up with Syracuse who has held their opponents to 29 percent shooting from the field during the tournament. With Syracuse's zone defense being particularly effective thus far, Michigan is going to again have to rely on their 3 point shooting if they want to come away with this one. While Syracuse is going to have to rely on their defense as it has done all tournament, Michigan has had no problem dealing with teams who pride themselves on their defense. Michigan shot 46 percent against Florida and 49 percent against Kansas whom rank sixth and first respectively in field goal percentage against so they have shown that they can handle good defenses.<br />
<br />
Syracuse on the other hand isn't known for being a great shooting team and will have to rely on Michael Carter Williams and will surely have to dominate the boards if they want to come away with this one.<br />
<br />
I think Michigan has the players to beat the Syracuse's zone, count on a big game from Burke and I have a feeling MCW is going to struggle in this one trying to keep up. Blue takes it.<br />
<br />

<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span></i><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Trout is the type of hitter that has power to all fields. His raw power potential doesn't compare to the power potential exhibited by Harper and the other elite power prospects in the game mentioned below. However with his size and strength I see him being an annual 30 HR guy throughout his career. </span><br />

<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span></i><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Harper's power rivals elite young talents such as Giancarlo Stanton, Jay Bruce and Mark Trumbo. I don't think there is another player in the game under the age of 25 who can rival Harper's power potential outside of Giancarlo Stanton.

<b><br />
</b> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">The Case for Trout</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Trout edged Harper in nearly every hitting metric in 2012. Trout has no known holes in his swing as evidenced by his success at the plate in 2012. Trout has tremendous bat speed and swings through the strike zone allowing him to make solid contact when he connects on a swing. Speed on the base paths is a major aspect of Trout's game that improves his hitting numbers, but that will be covered in more detail below.</span><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">The Case for Harper</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Harper is a special hitter and I believe his hitting numbers will improve in his second season. My case for Harper actually hinges on a slight statistical decline from Trout in 2013. If you take a closer look at the numbers, you realize that Trout will most likely regress from his BABIP of .383 in the upcoming season. In fact, according to David Schoenfield of ESPN "Of the 30 highest BABIPs in the past decade, only two players appear on the list more than once: Ichiro Suzuki, and Derek Jeter."<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></b> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">The Case for Trout</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Trout profiles as a gold glove fielder, and in my opinion deserved to win the gold glove in 2012, but he lost out to Adam Jones of the Orioles. His knack for making game saving plays in the outfield is remarkable. Just check out the picture for proof.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">The Case for Harper</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Harper played center field for the Nationals last season and will be moving to left field this season. I see the move as both a good and a bad thing. In left field, he will be asked to cover less ground compared to in center field. However, he will be learning a new position and the angles may not come naturally to him at the beginning of the season. </span><br />

</span></i> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">The Case for Harper</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Harper has an absolute rocket launcher for an arm. I see Harper being a leader in assists at his position for the next decade thanks to his ability to bypass the cutoff man and throw out runners directly. His accuracy could use some improvement, but that comes with practice and seasoning.</span><br />

<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Trout finished 2012 with 49 stolen bases and was only caught stealing 5 times. To put it simply, he is a freak on the base paths. He can beat out an infield hit and steal bases at will, and in my opinion has the ability to steal 50+ bases on a yearly basis.</span><br />

</span></i> <i><span style="color: #cccccc;">The Case for Harper</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> </i>Harper finished 2012 with 18 stolen bases and was caught stealing 6 times. He has slightly above average speed and is an aggressive base-runner. What he lacks in speed he makes up for in being an above average base-runner who is willing to take chances to get the extra base.</span><br />

</span></i> <span style="color: #cccccc;"><i> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Harper has a little more edge to him than Trout and he seems to attract attention like no other. Perhaps it's the east coast media bias in effect or just his charismatic personality. He is a truly fierce competitor who thrives in the games big moments.</span></span><br />

<br />
1. FC Barcelona<br />
<img height="146" src="http://www.4dfoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/barcelonawallpaper1.jpg" width="200" /><br />
<br />
Hard to argue this one. You know this is a good team that when they go 2-0 down to AC Milan in the Champions League, and you have no doubt they'll turn it around with ease when they go back home to the Camp Nou which is exactly what they did. They had an odd slip up today against 18th place Celta Vigo, but with a 13 point gap between them and 2nd place Real Madrid, I think they can coast to the title. Have a mouth watering clash with PSG in the Champions League quarterfinals looming.<br />
<br />
2. Bayern Munich<br />
<img height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Logo_FC_Bayern_M%C3%BCnchen.svg/220px-Logo_FC_Bayern_M%C3%BCnchen.svg.png" width="200" /><br />
Anyone see them put up 9 today on Hamburg? A ridiculous +65 goal difference and a 20 point lead on second place Dortmund, they should just give them the trophy already. They let their guard down in the Champions League return leg against Arsenal and were fortunate to hold onto their 3-1 aggregate lead. They cant do the same when they go up against Italian power Juventus this week. So much depth, and so much power on this team, all signs point to a Munich v Barca final at Wembley in May.<br />
<br />
3. Paris Saint Germain<br />
<img height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/83/Paris_Saint-Germain_FC_logo.svg/200px-Paris_Saint-Germain_FC_logo.svg.png" width="200" /><br />
Ever since PSG was bought out by Qatar Investment Authority, they've done all they can to assemble a dream team. The French capital is now home to one of Europe's best and they see themselves with an eight point advantage in the league. Boasting a lineup including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Javier Pastore, PSG will be a very tough out for Barcelona this week.<br />
<br />
4. Juventus<br />
<img height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d2/Juventus_Turin.svg/150px-Juventus_Turin.svg.png" width="122" /><br />
Juventus, who seem to be facing match fixing scandals every other day, find themselves forth on the list after defeating Inter at the San Siro 2-1 and going 9 points clear of 2nd place Napoli. Italian teams are known for their defending and they're going to have to stick to those principals to have any chance against offensive juggernauts Bayern Munich this week.<br />
<br />
5. Real Madrid<br />
<img height="112" src="http://desktopop.com/wp-content/uploads/Real-Madrid-Logo-HD.jpg" width="200" /><br />
While Real Madrid's domestic form has left something to be desired (13 points behind Barca and drew 1-1 at 17th place Zaragoza today), they still find themselves in the last eight of the Champions League after deservedly dispatching Manchester United a couple of weeks ago at Old Trafford. Face Galtasaray in the Champions League this week.<br />
<br />
6. Manchester United<br />
<img height="200" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSYweZWeXTktP7KBjcajRDnHSoQqdeTAqv2jCCVCZUlKTiSVte5CA" width="198" /><br />
While some people may think this is a little low for United, I cant see them beating a single team above them on this list. While they may be dominating England right now, I think that comes down to it being a soft year and City being incredibly inconsistent. They came away with a 1-0 win at Sunderland off an own goal (what else is new) after the ball took two deflections. No longer in the Champions League after Nani lost his mind, they surely have the Premier League wrapped up and face a big replay with Chelsea in the F.A. Cup.<br />
<br />
7. Benfica<br />
<img height="196" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7a/Benfica_Luanda.png" width="200" /><br />
Gotta give Benfica some love here. The Portuguese league doesn't get as much attention as England, Spain, Germany or Italy since its usually a two horse race between them and Porto every year, but an unbeaten start through 24 games has to be noticed. At 20 wins 4 draws and 0 losses they are still only four points in front of Porto who are ALSO unbeaten (18-6-0). Put six past Rio Ave today and are still fighting it out in the Europa League.<br />
<br />
8. Borrusia Dortmund<br />
<img height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Borussia_Dortmund.png/200px-Borussia_Dortmund.png" width="200" /><br />
Borussia Dortmund finds themselves in Bayern Munich's shadow in Germany, but dont let that fool you. This is a team that can play with the best of them, just ask Manchester City. Matched up against surprise package Malaga in the Champions League quarterfinals, they should easily move onto the semi's.<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Manchester City<br />
<img height="200" src="http://www.magicalmaths.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/manchester-city-mcfc-image-picture-clipart.jpg" width="174" /><br />
This team literally makes no sense to me. They could put out two teams that could finish in the top four in the Premier League. They took care of business against Newcastle today with a 4-0 win but have losses against Everton and Sunderland (??) that has all but ended their hopes to repeat as champions. Fixtures away from home have been their downfall this season as they have dropped points to teams such as QPR and Stoke City which they cant be doing if they want to challenge for a title. Maybe next year guys.<br />
<br />
10. Atletico Madrid<br />
<img height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c1/Atletico_Madrid_logo.svg/170px-Atletico_Madrid_logo.svg.png" width="155" /><br />
Barcelona and Real Madrid may get all the attention in Spain but you cant forget about Atletico Madrid who are only 2 points behind Real Madrid for second place in La Liga. They are led by one of the best strikers in the world Radamel Falcao who has 21 goals in La Liga this season.<br />
<br />
Honorable Mentions: Tottenham, Galtasaray, Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, FC Porto, Napoli, Ajax Amsterdam<br />

<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">3. Aaron Hernandez</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></b> <span style="color: #cccccc;">This trio is the clear-cut first tier of the tight end class for 2013. Jimmy Graham should put up numbers in 2013 similar to what he did in a healthy 2011 season thanks to the return of the Saints offensive mastermind Sean Payton.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">With Wes Welker leaving town, </span><span style="color: #cccccc;">Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez</span><span style="color: #cccccc;"> should both expect to see an uptick in targets while Tom Brady and Danny Amendola work on their timing and chemistry. Both Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez have proven to be great when on the field, however both have had their issues with inuries in the past. Hernandez to me has the highest potential (especially in PPR leagues) with the departure of Welker, but his risk could outweigh the potential. My advice would be to draft a solid backup if you were to take Hernandez (perhaps #15 Brandon Myers?).</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></b> <span style="color: #cccccc;">The name that stands out most for me in this tier is Kyle Ruddolph. The guy is a beast to put it simply. He won the MVP award in last years Pro Bowl game and looked absolutely dominate with an elite QB throwing his way. The reason for him being in the second tier as opposed to where he rightfully belongs can be blamed on the current Vikings QB situation (see Christian Ponder). As you can see by my ranking, I'm expecting him to take a huge leap in his third year, regardless of the QB throwing to him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Martellus Bennett is an interesting option with his move to Chicago. Jay Cutler isn't an upgrade on Eli Manning in any sense, but the Bears lack the weapons the Giants had in 2012. Bennett will now compete with Brandon Marshall for looks, whereas last season he was competing with both Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. </span><br />

Owen Daniels</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></b> <span style="color: #cccccc;">This tier breaks down ranks 9-12, which will be starters in the majority of twelve team leagues. One name that I am higher on than other analysts is Dwayne Allen. As a rookie he had 45 receptions, 521 yards and 3 TD's in 2012. I'm expecting him to take a step forward in his second season because of the promise and skill set he displayed as a rookie. Also, moving from a Bruce Arian's vertical attack to Pep Hamilton's west coast offense will translate to more looks for the tight ends.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Dennis Pitta might rise up draft boards as the off-season progresses thanks to the departure of Anquan Boldin. Just take a look at his postseason stats if you are skeptical as to his potential (14 receptions, 163 yards and 3 TD's), and remember that was WITH Boldin still on the roster.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></b> <span style="color: #cccccc;">The remaining tight ends are fringe starters and great options for bye week fill-ins. My choice for the tight end with the highest upside would be Brandon Myers. Last season he put up his best season as a pro with 79 receptions, 806 yards and 4 TD's. He was the lone bright spot in an otherwise atrocious Oakland offense. I think the move to the Giants both hurt and helped his stock at the same time. Myers will now have Eli Manning throwing to him instead of Carson Palmer (+), but he will have increased competition for looks thanks to Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks (-). Overall I think the upgrade in offense and QB outweighs the negatives.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;">I feel like this tier is Calvin Johnson as the clear-cut top receiver followed by an interchangeable 2-5 ranking. I would be happy to select any of the above as my #1 WR. Outside of Calvin Johnson, I'm highest on A.J. Green. Green simply doesn't have the competition the other receivers from this tier have (see Miles Austin, Eric Decker/Wes Welker & Roddy White). Add in the fact that Green is in his third season with an improving Andy Dalton and I expect big things (100 receptions, 1500 yards and 12 TD).</span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc;">I may be a little low on Marshall here, but there are a couple things that concern me about him going into the 2013 season. Marshall had his third hip surgery this off-season, he faces added competition for looks with the addition of Martellus Bennett (formerly of the NY Giants), and he will see added defensive pressure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Percy Harvin being traded to Seattle was the best thing that could have happened to him. Harvin will now have Russell Wilson throwing to him, instead of the mess of a QB known as Christian Ponder. Don't forget that Harvin is extra valuable in leagues that awards points for return yards & TD's.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;">Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are hard to rank for me. Randall Cobb took over during the season because of a Greg Jennings injury, so it will be fun to see what a full off-season getting starters reps will due to his production. Jordy Nelson has the past production (2011 season stats: 95 receptions, 1263 yards and 15 TD's). For me though Randall Cobb has the higher ceiling because of his versatility as a runner and return man. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">As for Fitzgerald, it's crazy how far he has fallen in drafts over the span of a year. I do see a rebound from him thanks to Bruce Arians arrival, which features TONS of down field passing. The only thing holding back higher expectations is that the offense will rely on a QB that is able to make the down-field throws, and the Cardinals quite simply don't have that QB on the roster. Although I think Drew Stanton will be serviceable for Fitzgerald while the Cardinals groom a rookie QB.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;">Michael Crabtree evolved into a different, game-changing receiver with Colin Kaepernick at QB. Kaepernick was simply able to make throws that Alex Smith couldn't even dream of making. Crabtree's stats with Kaepernick (including playoffs) if prorated over a full season would be 97 receptions, 1408 yards and 13 TD's. I want to see him do it for a full season before I can feel comfortable having him higher on the list.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Pierre Garcon could be the bargain of all WR's depending on his health and the health of his QB RGIII. In games that Garcon was healthy, he looked absolutely dominate. But those games were few and far between last season. He is someone who could rise considerably from now until the start of the season.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;">The departure of Anquan Boldin has left the door wide open for Torrey Smith to take the leap necessary into borderline WR #1 status. We've seen the big games from him in the past, however his issue has always been consistency. I believe in what will be his third season, he will take that leap with a solid season.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin are in a situation similar to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, only with a wild card at QB in the form of Michael Vick and a new head coach (Chip Kelly). In the past, they have both shown the ability to put up big stats. Add in the Chip Kelly Oregon offense, and you have the possibility for both WR's too succeed.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;">TY Hilton and Josh Gordon are late round picks that have the chance to out perform their respective draft spot. As rookies, both players flashed the ability to make big plays and score TD's. These characteristics are very valuable in the fantasy game. TY Hilton has five 100+ yard games and six games with at least 1 TD in his rookie season. Josh Gordon didn't have the same quite the same impact but his potential was on full display weeks 5-7, when he racked up 240 yards and 4 TD's. I think drafting either receiver as a WR #3 will be a smart move as they will both finish in the WR #2 range by seasons end.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc;">In my eyes, 37-50 in my WR rankings is pretty interchangeable as I don't see any surefire starter in 3-WR leagues out of the bunch. Each of the receivers above has flashed potential at some point but has question marks. Their low rankings can mainly be blamed on several factors; whether that is their current health, the QB situation, or competition for targets. If I was forced to name two WR's from the list I could see myself starting, they would be Kenny Britt and Brandon Lloyd (depending on where Lloyd ends up). Anyone remember Britt performance against Philly in week 7 of 2010 (225 yards and 3 TD's)... can that guy please stand up?</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;">*Darrius Heyward-Bey was signed by the Colts (4/1). With Luck throwing to him he has risen up from #50 to #44.</span></div>

Has the potential to be a top right tackle in the league as he showed last year, and he deservedly wants to be paid that way. The Bengals have been holding out to this point as well as other teams in the league. My question is, what's the issue here? <b>Best fit: re-signing with the Bengals</b><br />

At 31 Dansby still has a few years of solid production. The Dolphins were just hell bent on spending money on new linebackers, even though their true weakness can be seen in the secondary. <b>Best fit: New York Giants</b><br />

<br />
Dwight Freeney still has 2-3 more years of solid production left in him. He was never suited for OLB in a 3-4 scheme. He's best as a 4-3 end with his hand in the ground, getting off the edge. I still see him as a 10 sack threat for the coming season in the right situation. <b>Best fit: Denver Broncos)</b><br />

<br />
Moore has solidly help anchor the Jets offensive line over the past few years. In fact, the only bright spot for the Jets last season might have been their offensive line play... although that's not saying much. <b>Best fit: re-signing with the New York Jets</b><br />

<br />
At 29 years old, Brent Grimes still has what it takes to be a great corner. He is coming off an Achilles injury which is scary because of the rate of re-injury to the player's legs. However, I believe on a one year "show me" contract (like the one signed by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) that he could be worth the gamble. <span style="color: lime;"><b>Signed: Miami Dolphins</b></span><br />

<br />
Heyward-Bey is a 26 year old burner who was stuck to rot away in Oakland. In 2012 he suffered from a horrendous offensive attack/scheme. If you go back to 2011 he actually had 975 receiving yards and 4 TD's in only 15 games with Carson Palmer throwing to him. He was recently brought in for visits with the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions, both of whom have a number 1 receiver in town and a franchise QB. <b><span style="color: lime;">Signed: Indianapolis Colts</span></b><br />

<br />
Brandon Lloyd has proven he can be a solid WR in the right system and with the right QB. Last year in New England wasn't the best situation for him (clearly). He is no #1 receiver by any means, but as a #2 or 3 he could be a big get for a team. <b>Best fit: San Diego Chargers</b><br />

<br />
He had a phenomenal season last year for the cardinals recording 67 tackles, 1 sack, 4 INT's and 2 forced fumbles. The Cardinals viewed him as expendable going on his age 30 season though in what was seen as a cap dump off. <b>Best fit: re-uniting with the New York Jets</b><br />

He will start the season at 37, but his veteran leadership will be crucial to a team in contention as he would like to pursue another ring to add to his resume. <b>Best fit: San Francisco 49ers</b><br />

At this point in his career (going on his age 35 season) he is mainly a pass rush specialist. But if used right he could be good for 7-9 sacks. His scheme flexibility is a big plus. <b>Best fit: New England Patriots</b>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04983715152501119641noreply@blogger.com2
