| Just when you think the days of players producing career-best numbers in their mid-30s are over, a guy like Josh Willingham comes along to remind us just how unpredictable baseball can be. It's not like he was a nobody prior to 2012. He was coming off a season in Oakland in which he swatted a career-high 29 homers, giving him at least 20 in four of his last six seasons. But he was on a completely different level last year, his 35 homers ranking ninth in all of baseball. Throughout his career, Willingham has had stretches when he looked like he might become that type of player, but he'd inevitably hit .185 one month, bringing his numbers back down to size. Naturally, then, Fantasy owners kept waiting for the cold streak to arrive last year, but it never did. Willingham just kept on slugging. Perhaps the performance was what he would have been doing all along if he hadn't encountered so many back problems in his career. Hey, the 145 games Willingham played last year were a career high. But even if that's the case, he's still likely to take a step back this year. What are the chances of him ducking injuries again, at age 34? Even though he ranked among the top 10 outfielders in 2012, the risk of regression makes Willingham no better than a top-30 option to begin 2013. (Updated 12/6/12) |
