#1 Fanasty baseball player

josh hamilton for mlb

koz-man · 02-17-13, 12:17 AM

Mike Trout seems to be the favorite with Miguel Cabrera close.

MexicanStallion · 02-17-13, 01:26 AM

I would probably choose Cabrera #1 if I was in a new league. Trout is definitely another consideration, but I want to see another year of what he does.

LT Profits · 02-17-13, 06:50 AM

Trout because he gives you EVERYTHING. Miggy won't give you steals.

me-first · 02-17-13, 07:17 AM

I would probably go with Cabrera with strong consideration given to Kemp and Trout..

Yea I was on Miggy but after reading everyones inputs here I think Trout is the #1 for that steal factor

Wrigley · 02-17-13, 10:41 AM

Trout has to be number 1 becareful hamilton switching teams see Pujols last year

Otters27 · 02-17-13, 11:07 AM

i would take trout, miggy, and then maybe hamilton. I wouldn't wan't to gamble with hamilton

ProPicker713 · 02-17-13, 11:32 AM

Trout for me, that guy is an all around player. Can steal, Hit a homer, hit a triple, get on base, oh and did I mention his high batting average.

gryfyn1 · 02-17-13, 12:01 PM

Im still taking Cabrera, he has very little risk involved.

Trout will get numbers in all categories, but it will extremely hard to repeat the numbers he had last year as alot of thing went well for him.

His babip was 383 between 2009-2011 only 5 players posted seasons with babips over 380, those 5 had the Babip fall to 334 the next year, falling an average of 55pts.

he also posted a HR/FB of 21.6% between 2009-2012 only 9 Players posted a HR/FB over 20% and all of those, except Micheal Morse, were premium power hitters like Thome, Stanton, Dunn, Fielder.

Both the numbers will most lilkly regress and his average, HR and RBI will all fall.

Trout is still a great player and picking him first is by no means wrong, But I'd much prefer the safer player at number one.

BigSpoon · 02-17-13, 02:31 PM

Trout, Miguel, & Braun in some order.

Shortstop · 02-17-13, 04:46 PM

I'm not hearing much chatter about Andrew McCutchen.

I look for him to have a monster year for my beloved Buccos!

He's not yet in the discussion for #1 overall.

greenhippo · 02-17-13, 09:04 PM

I think Kemp has a stellar year. Also look for Ellsbury to bounce back after a sub-par year.

dynamite140 · 02-18-13, 12:11 AM

Another good choice would be dan uggla.

GamblerSpirit · 02-18-13, 12:51 AM

Trout came into st 30lbs heavier so miggy is my vote

easyliving · 02-18-13, 12:52 AM

Braun is the clear choice.

McCutchen will probably go in the top 5 or 6 picks. Braun, Trout, Cabrera, Cano and maybe Kemp will go ahead of him.

That's a very solid top six right there, I can't argue against any of them.

More importantly, I can't wait 'til Opening Day!

I would take McCutchen before Hamilton.

ballahollic2 · 03-04-13, 05:35 AM

Trout for me

i would also take McCuthen before Josh, hamilton to much of a wildcard

I don't think anyone would take Hamilton over McCutchen. You could probably get them both if you wanted, McCutchen in the 1st round and Hamilton in the 2nd.

Shortstop · 03-04-13, 03:21 PM

I just noticed today that Andrew McCutchen is on the cover of MLB 13: The Show!

Bcatswin · 03-04-13, 04:49 PM

LMAO no mention of Votto in top 6.

I will have this come tomorrow...

Erock87 · 03-04-13, 06:19 PM

I love Votto, hits for power, avg, can draw the walk...but coming off an injury is what drops him down a few slots on my board.

#1 I go Miggy, then Trout, Braun, then Cano (I could argue Cano being higher too, given the scarcity at 2B in my mind).

Otters27 · 03-04-13, 06:40 PM

McCutchen is a future #1 Fantasy player he will only get better.

What's your top 6?

xraygord · 03-04-13, 10:44 PM

Jose Bautista will be on my list for sure.

Robber · 03-05-13, 12:04 AM

I forgot to post again this is happening too often

Miggy, then after that in no order Trout, Votto, Braun, Kemp, Pujols

playersonly69 · 03-05-13, 12:50 AM

Time to hit Gamestop I think

I'd take Cano over Votto. Similar stats, but Cano's position adds value.
