Paul Goldschmidt

[Y`s Guy]

He jacked 20 homers driving in 82, Pretty decent BA for a rookie at .282


Anyone see 30 home runs in 2013?

I think 30 might be a stretch this year. Would it be completely shocking if it happened? Of course not, but I think the top mark is more around 27, and I feel good projecting/ranking him at 24 or 25.

Everything says the BA should be similar to last year. Double digit SB's. Good Player

yahoo has his stats as: .286, rbi and runs at 82, 20 hr, 18 sb.

I would imagine he is going to hit 25+ homers with a sacrifice in BA.

Good stuff Frenchie. I have him as a 10th rounder in my keeper league and would hate to throw him back.

For what it's worth, I have him ranked as a 5th rounder for 12 team mixed leagues.

it seems like Goldschmidt and Rizzo could really blow up in 2013. I hope to get at least one of them cheap next year...

I'll start putting together my spreadsheets this weekend. Will probably see Goldy fall in that area, too.

I would expect drops in SB's and probably BA.

.275, 90+, 25, 90+, 6

He is one of my favorite targets this year. However, the hype train might make him a very risky purchase if you are one those people that like to wait until the end of March to do your draft. By that time, there is a very good chance that he will be the #4 1B off the board behind Votto, Pujols, and Fielder. While I do believe he will be a top 4 1B by the end of the year, taking him there leaves no little room for profit and a big risk of overpaying if he doesn't pan out.

Even though I am somewhat cautiously optimistic, I have big hopes for him in a very solid D-Backs lineup (with J-Up still in town) in a hitter-friendly park. After doing a lot of research on him last year, and seeing his statistical growth in the BB/SO area, I am pretty confident that he is the next Votto. I would not be surprised to see a big 95-30-100-15-.285, or better, type year. I love loading up on guys that can produce in all 5 cats.
