Visionary (aka dreamer)
Apr 28/2013 or as I like to call it Nolan Arenado day!!
I am a huge Arenado fan. I've been following him since he was drafted in 2009. He came from El Toro HS in CA, and I just traded for him a month ago (J.Teheran) in one dynasty league where my name is the El Toro Tigers. Coincidence? Maybe. But nonetheless, I'm pumped.
Here is what I would expect from Arenado for 2013:
A solid AVG of .280-.300. He has elite contact skills.
A less than solid OBP of .300- .325 but a stellar K rate for a rookie. (ie 10-13%)
A see a doubles machine who might be aided by Coors in the HR department.
As far as a 3B ranking for ROS I'd slide him in around 11 or 12, ahead of Freese. I wouldn't be surprised if he cracked the top 10.
Cabrera/Longoria/Beltre/Bautista now/Wright/Sandoval/Zimmerman maybe/Lawrie perhaps ahead.
As far as FAAB, if you have a need at the hot corner, I could excuse you for going all-in.
Here's a video from one of the best (Mike Newman)

All this guy does is mash. Don't expect big power numbers, but there's few prospects in a better position to succeed in my opinion.
.285/.325/.475
Go get him
