Kansas City Royals May 21, 2013Mike Moustakas remains an enigmatic hold
CBSSports.com Fantasy — If you knew coming into this year that a 24-year-old player who hit .242 with 20 home runs and 73 RBI in 2012 would increase his walk rate significantly while dropping his strikeout rate by over 5 percent, you'd probably draft him a little earlier than usual and expect big things. But this player is Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas, and he has found a way to improve most of his peripherals while laying a goose egg in the stats that matter for Fantasy owners. Moustakas is hitting .178, with a .183 BABIP (a normal BABIP is around .290-.300). He's walking more, striking out less, and he's hit...

May 10, 2013Mike Moustakas turning it around
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas hit 20 home runs in his breakout 2012 campaign, and Fantasy owners were only expecting more moving forward from the 24-year-old. Thanks to his third home run in as many nights Friday, he is finally starting to look like the borderline No. 1 third baseman that Fantasy owners thought they were getting during the draft.
