Player Profile #124: Lance Berkman | 1B/OF | STL
There’s that saying, “never pay for a career year.” Well, in Lance Berkman‘s case 2011 wasn’t quite a career year, but at age 36 his output was about as good as you could ask for. Now the question is without Albert Pujols‘ protection in the lineup and Berkman’s increasing age can he repeat in 2012? In short, no he can’t, but he can be productive — especially in...

Lance Berkman Player Projection No. 96
Key Stats: Lance Berkman was in the process of dying a slow death after three straight years in decline and seeming incapable of even playing a DH role for the Yankees at the end of the 2010 season.
