Your thoughts on Tulo

The next in line of supposedly good hitting SS's moving up to the majors in Colorado. I know and you know that we've heard it all before. I remember people drafting Clint Barnes with all the hopes of 30 Coors laced HRs, all to fizzle out and watch their teams sink without a SS.

So, what is the realistic outlook on this 21 year old talent? Do you think he is capable of good fantasy numbers, or is this abother Colorado pipe dream on someone's team?

I'm curious, as this is a discussion at work here today, with the office Fantasy league draft looming on the weekend.

I have heard of him being compaired to David Eckstein but my have a little more Home Runs playing at Coors.

But he is a sleeper so 30 Home Runs may or may not happen so he may be a good guy to target but be curefull to not overpay for him.

Our work league is now at 16 teams, like my keeper league is... so Tulo is almost inherently a late round option for the bench...

As a 21 year old... I don't trust him a whole lot... but it is a possibility to play him on home stands if he becomes the starter... but watching him carefully...

I have heard him more compared to a Bobby Crosby type, with the potential for a little better in batting average... along the lines of a potential .270 hitter if all goes well for him
