Fantasy Analysis
Holliday was limited to just 124 games during the regular season as he was hampered by injuries that stunted his production. His homer total was his lowest since the 2005 season with Colorado -- his second major league campaign (19). The 32-year-old could be affected by the departure of 1B Albert Pujols from the St. Louis lineup, but he remains a strong option for solid power numbers and batting average. Fantasy owners should consider Holliday worthy of a selection in the early rounds of 2012 drafts. (Updated 01/15/2012).

Injuries limited Matt Holliday last season as he played in just 124 games, his fewest since 2004. He underwent an emergency appendectomy in April and a quad injury hindered him in May before landing on the DL to begin June. He would return in mid-June and batted .324 with 14 home runs and 49 RBI in the first half. Holliday also dealt with a back issue after the All-Star break -- and had a weird incident in which a moth flew into his ear -- and inflammation in his right hand cost him playing time down the stretch and into the playoffs. Despite all the setbacks, he still finished the year with 22 home runs, 75 RBI and a .296 average. He heads into 2012 without Albert Pujols protecting him in the lineup, but at least he will start the campaign 100 percent healthy. Holliday has averaged 25 home runs with 89 RBI in his two full seasons in St. Louis, and while the loss of Pujols will likely affect his production, the 32-year-old is still one of the better options in Fantasy. Target Holliday as a Top 15 Fantasy OF on Draft Day. (Updated 1/28/12)
