| According to the Associated Press Indians Outfielder Grady Sizemore has begun to run bases at full speed."I did everything, simulated game conditions," Sizemore said. "Home to first, first to third, second to home, leading off, tagging up. It all went well. I didn't feel slow. I haven't lost a step." It was the first time Sizemore had ran full speed since micro fracture surgery on his left knee. Sizemore was once a top pick for outfielders as early as two years ago but has battled injuries the last two playing in only 169 in that span including 33 games last year, hitting zero home runs. It was obvious there was something wrong with Sizemore's swing last year. He has never been a guy who gets you a great batting average and tends to strikeout-out too much but when healthy, he's a potential 30-30 guy. Steer clear from him in the early rounds until you see him put together another full season. I've seen people call him a sleeper, let them screw up their draft early and wait on Sizemore as one of your last two outfielders. If he drops it could be a great pickup and you can act like a genius who knew what he was talking about. |
