#17: G. Sizemore – CLE OF

Sizemore is a stud on the rise in a team whose young core of players is going to excel, sooner rather than later. If everyone can stay healthy the Indians are my pick to overtake the Twins and the rest of the Al Central. But that’s not the point, Sizemore is ready to blossom and come next year don’t be surprised to see him in the top 10. The stars may just align for this young man this year.

Here's a little bit more about Grady: Last year was his 3rd year in the league but hes still only 24! His stats were very comprable the past two years except for a fairly big rise in power and strike outs. The link between Power and Strike Outs can be found through out the major leagues and is something I will talk about in my baseball statistics article that will be running later this week. He should continue his rise to the top this year as the Cleveland Team gets better.

One reason not to take him: His pure numbers from last year probably do not warrant this pick, however his potential is unbelievable. He could be a top 10 pick next year or he could be out of the top 30. This will be an important year for his fantasy value. If you are looking for a sure thing, Grady is probably not your guy.

One reason to take him: This guy is going to be a stud, in my opinion, sooner rather than later. He will be a 25/25 player most likely next year and eventually could become a 30/30 player. That kind of pure skill is hard to argue with, grab this high upside guy and you won't regret it, especially in a keeper league.
