You guys will want a picture huh.

Well I'll insert one higher up?

2013 Predictions: Up's : Vol 1

While doing a number of mock drafts (PS3 broke recently).
I've noticed players undervalued,
the first guy isn't, but would you pick him over Ryan Braun, Mike Trout & Matt Kemp?

Andrew McCutchen - 30/30 club?

2012
Hit's: 194
Runs: 107
Homer's: 31
RBI's: 96
B Average: .327
Steals: 20

2013

Hit's: 195
Runs: 110
Homer's: 35
RBI's: 100
B Average: .325
Steals: 30

Second is:

Adrian Gonzalez - NL RBI Leader?

2012

Hit's: 188
Runs: 75
Homer's: 18
RBI's: 108
B Average: .299
Steals: 2

2013

Hit's: 190
Runs: 85
Homer's: 27
RBI's: 120
B Average: .300
Steals: 4



Of course the most dangerous deep ball candidate is Gonzalez, but with his home ball park being mean, he should still manage to give it a shot at 30.
