Hit Parade for Week 8
Some heavy hitters are finally starting to return to form and good health, leaving owners with many tough decisions. Our Scott White looks at all of the streaks and matchups in his latest Hit Parade.
|
| With four straight seasons of a batting average below .250, Fantasy owners have likely given up waiting for B.J. Upton to hit for average. He had established a reputation for supplying steals and a moderate amount of power, making him a decent midrange outfield option in mixed leagues. In 2012, though, Upton just missed joining the 30-30 club, stealing 31 bases and homering 28 times. The career high in home runs could give Upton some extra credibility heading into 2013 drafts, but owners should be wary of raising their expectations too high. Upton went on a late-season power spree, hitting 19 of those homers in the season's final two months. He did hit flyballs at a higher rate during that span, hinting at a possible change in approach that could have paid off. However, it's still a very small sample on which to base a change in perceived value. Though it's possible he has taken a step forward in his development, he could just be the same old B.J. Upton. The move from Tampa Bay to Atlanta shouldn't impact his value much either, so the safe move is to wait until the middle rounds to draft him. (Updated 1/29/13) |
