Guys to keep an eye on in 2012

Someone else mentioned him, but I'll second Mat Gamel. He's been stuck in the minors for a couple years now waiting his turn, but he's raked while there, including .310/.372/.540 line with 28 HR in AAA this year. He should get 1B just about to himself for Milwaukee this year. He doesn't figure to hit for a great batting average, but there's definitely some power there. Could be a decent NL-only option to be had on the cheap.

Until Revere can bring up his OBP his value will be limited. Difference between him and Pierre is that Pierre is ok at getting on base and Revere is not very good at all. Pierre's career OBP = .345 and Revere's career OBP = .305. If he can fix that he might be relevant.

You do realize that you're talking about his rookie season and he had a .326 BA and .385 OBP in the minors. I already know that I'm going to love/hate Revere as a twins fan but there's no reason that he shouldn't be batting .290-.300 with a .340-.350 OBP. He needs to steal all of those bases to have any value but he should be able to get 40 easily.

Unfortunately, with absolutely no power at all and seemingly an inability to even drive the ball, you are looking at really empty SB's.

as I think about it, I play OPS but most of you play AVG, so his .300 avg is worth something to you guys. But, I think RBI, HR and runs will basically be negative cats for a long time.

Runs won't be a negative. There's no reason he can't score 85+ runs because you know he'll be at the top of the lineup. He looks like a leadoff hitter after all and that is all that matters to Gardy. But you're summing up the reasons that I'll hate Revere.

Correct. I also play in a 6x6 with batter Ks, making him even more valuable to me. Only 41 in 450 AB...

I'm curious to see how Sale does as a starter. At the very least he should be good for some K's.

Josh Reddick, Lucas Duda, Jesus Guzman, Chris Sale, Tim Wheeler, Brett Lawrie, Matt Moore off the top of my head.

As a Sox fan I don't think Reddick will be fantasy relevant, unless you're in the deepest of leagues or an AL-only. Chances to get a RH bat in the lineup will come at Reddick's expense

Reddick seems like he could hit if given 500 PA some where if not Boston. May as well give him a shot now or at least platoon him if your not going to sign Beltran.

Duda looks good this year. Who ever makes it to Seattles rotation out of Hultzen or Paxton will be someone to watch.

Guess I can take Jesus Guzman off the list, maybe they can trade him to Tampa for whatever they can get.
