Fantasy Analysis
Kipnis may be on a mini slump right now, but his six homers and 24 RBI from the middle infield position has been quite impressive. He's shown the ability to hit consistently and should remain active in most mixed Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/20/2012).

Jason Kipnis, a minor-league Fantasy darling whose subpar defense -- particularly with his conversion from the outfield in the lower levels of the minors -- kept him relatively low in the prospect rankings, actually exceeded expectations upon his arrival to the majors last July, homering in Games 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 16 of his big-league career. Was it too much too fast? Perhaps, but Kipnis never really got a chance to slow down, straining his hamstring in Game 18 and spending the next month or so on the DL. When he returned, he played exactly 18 more games, delivering numbers closer to what you'd expect from a rookie middle infielder. So which 18-game sample is the more indicative one? Most likely, Kipnis would land somewhere between the two over a full season. He has modest speed and good on-base ability. Whether his power is closer to that of Dustin Pedroia or Rickie Weeks is what will ultimately determine his Fantasy value. Because his 2011 sample is too small to draw any real conclusions, he'll likely be a late-round pick on Draft Day, but with an everyday job in his grasp, he's a definite value at that point.
