Kotchman's Bat Comes Alive

Seattle first basemen,  Casey Kotchman, has long been touted as a fantasy-starter-hopeful, but has failed season after season.

He has never had over 500 at bats in his career and has averaged just over 200 at bats a season, so injuries and lack of playing time definitely have to be factored in to his lack of success.

The good news is Kotchman is just 27-years-old and is finally getting a chance to be a full-time starter in Seattle and Seattle finally has a solid offense.

Don't expect a huge year by any means from Kotchman, but whether you pick him as a Rent-a-Vet, or as an AL-only starter, or as your backup first basemen, he can hold down the fort at first base by batting around .280 with 20 home runs if he can play a full season.
