Fantasy Analysis
Singleton had a bit of an up-and-down year in 2011, but by season's end he was back on track and re-emerged as the burgeoning prospect he was in the Phillies' system. Singleton is now the future at first base for Houston. He still plays some in the outfield as well, which can only help get him to the majors faster. Singleton has a very impactful bat and is developing into a middle-of-the-order hitter. His home run power is still not where it needs to be, but Singleton is only 20 years old and still has time to develop. Singleton also needs to work on hitting left-handed pitchers better. He batted just .248 against them in 2011 and is batting .240 against them this year. He's probably a few years away from a Fantasy impact, so Singleton remains more of a long-term keeper.

02/29/2012 11:34 2012 Draft Prep: Top 50 Fantasy prospects
Which prospects should you circle on your Draft Day cheat sheets in 2012? Our Scott White unveils his Top 50 prospects and identifies which players will make an impact on your Fantasy teams this summer.
The Astros demanded a king's ransom for Hunter Pence at the 2011 trade deadline, and the principle player they got in return was Jonathan Singleton, which says something about the 20-year-old's upside. No, he won't be competing for a starting job in spring training at that age, especially since he has yet to play a game above Class A. But the out-of-contention Astros will have no trouble clearing a spot for him when the proper time comes. Hey, the Diamondbacks were willing to let Paul Goldschmidt make the same leap in 2011, and they were competing for a division title. Singleton already reaches base at a .400 clip and should offer big-time home run power in the not-too-distant future. He was only expendable for the Phillies because they had Ryan Howard signed long-term. Though Singleton's 2012 arrival is too speculative for you to roll the dice on him in seasonal formats, his upside is enough to make him a must-have in long-term keeper leagues. (Updated 1/9/12)
