Hit Parade for Week 12
The Braves play eight games in Fantasy Week 12 while the Athletics are scheduled to face seven righties. Our Scott White runs through all of the trends and matchups for owners to consider.

| Pedro Alvarez was one of the biggest disappointments in Fantasy after his dismal 2011 campaign but showed in 2012 why the Pirates took him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 MLB draft. He hit 16 home runs with 50 RBI in the first half and finished with career highs in homers (30), RBI (85) and slugging percentage (.467). While his .244 average was not that impressive, it was well above the .191 mark he posted the year before and it looks as though the 25-year-old is finally ready to become a reliable option in Fantasy. The Pirates are counting on Alvarez, along with Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker, to reverse the losing trends in Pittsburgh. Fantasy owners are hoping he can continue to progress as a power-hitting third baseman. At a deeper-than-you-might-think position in Fantasy, you could wait fairly late for him on Draft Day and get some good value. (Updated 12/4/12) |
