Boom or Bust: Martin Prado

Breaking out big in 2010 Martin Prado was a top 10 fantasy performer at 3B and 2B. Toss in 1B eligibility and Prado's value went beyond the numerous points he brought your team. Heading into his age 27 season we could see Prado build on his strong 2010.

With a AVG over .300 for 3 successive years we can safely assume he can maintain those numbers. He shocked many by adding pop to the high batting average going yard 15 times last season. He tailed off after the all-star break hitting only 5 dingers but that could be explained by the fact that he was fairly banged up. Health seems to be the only thing standing in the way of Prado taking another step forward in 2011. While he is probably close to his ceiling he is a safe bet to be a top 10 2B performer again.

Bust Prediction: 565AB/170/.301AVG/9HR/82R/64RBI/4SB
