Tulowitzki making nice progress: Colorado SS Troy Tulowitzki told the Denver Post on Monday that his hip injury that kept him sidelined throughout September is healing as scheduled. "It got better from rest. I have started doing light workouts," said Tulowitzki, who had just 35 at-bats in September and started just twice after Sept. 13 due to bursitis in his left hip. "I am not going to have to change my training," Tulowitzki said. "It's feeling good and getting better." (Updated 10/17/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Tulowitzki finished his fifth full season in the majors and hit .305 with 30 homers and 105 RBI. Imagine what he could have done with a full and healthy season. All indications are that Tulowitzki will be completely healthy heading into spring training. For that, Fantasy owners should consider him among the first few picks on Draft Day 2012.

It's time for owners to start looking ahead to Draft Day. We get you off and running with our 12-team Rotisserie mock draft. Check out the results!
With his second 30-plus homer season and a career-high 105 RBI, Troy Tulowitzki did nothing to endanger his status as one of Fantasy's premier talents. As a top producer at one of baseball's most production-scarce positions, Tulowitzki cemented his place among Fantasy's most reliable must-start options. He was the top-ranked shortstop in standard Head-to-Head value and if not for a late-season hip injury, he may have surged ahead of Jose Reyes for the top honors in Rotisserie value as well. Tulowitzki continues to be an excellent hitter for power and contact, and the only downward trend worth noting is a reduction in stolen base attempts. Still, even without a guarantee of double-digit steals, Tulowitzki should be the first shortstop off the board on draft day, and he is likely to be taken within the first six picks in all formats.
