Key Stats: Freddie Freeman would have been the Rookie of the Year last season were it not for his teammate being the best closer in all of baseball. Freeman played in 157 games last year and given his youth injuries are unlikely to crop up again this season. He was inconsistent at times which is often a negative word, but in fantasy baseball inconsistent can also mean that he carries teams for stretches of time. That was the case last July when Freeman was the 13th best player in that month and had a .433 OBP. That said his September was not nearly as good. That could have been caused by a number of factors including hitting the rookie wall, the pressure of avoiding a historic collapse, and the lineup around him fading. Skeptics Say: Freeman doesn't hit lefties very well. The difference in average against lefties was about 50 points last season. Situational lefties will get their work in against him late in games, so hopefully he isn't bunched in the lineup with another left...
