Freese awarded WS MVP: St. Louis 3B David Freese came through again for the Cardinals on Friday night in Game 7 of the World Series. He went 1 for 2 at the plate, driving in two runs and drew two walks. His two-run double set a new postseason RBI record at 21. The Cardinals went on to win the game, 6-2, clinching the World Series over the Rangers. (Updated 10/29/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
One could say Freese went of in the playoffs as he had just 10 homers and 55 RBI in 333 regular season at-bats, while hitting .297. "It was just a matter of playing time, at-bats and experience," said hitting coach Mark McGwire. "When you have a swing like his, where he naturally can stay back and drive the ball with such power to right-center, you have a chance to be a very good hitter. He does that. It just takes time to learn." Fantasy owners should keep tabs on him during spring training next year to see how he looks. Even after his stellar postseason, Freese is still a late-round selection on Draft Day in 2012. If he stays healthy, he could emerge as a top-12 third baseman before season's end.

David Freese again had a difficult time staying healthy for the Cardinals last season, but thanks to an unbelievable run in the postseason, he enters 2012 as one of the more intriguing options in Fantasy. After hitting .297 and posting career highs with 10 home runs and 55 RBI during the regular season, he exploded in the playoffs en route to helping St. Louis win the World Series. He went 20 for 45 (.444) with four home runs and 16 RBI in the NLCS and World Series -- winning the MVP award in both series-- and could be on the verge of breaking out at age 28. With Albert Pujols no longer in St. Louis, Freese's offense will be needed and he should be able to put up some solid stats as long as he can stay healthy. Target Freese as a viable option with a ton of upside in mixed leagues on Draft Day, just be aware that he has been unable to play in more than 100 games in each of his first three seasons in the majors.
