2013
Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.
2012
Last season brought the demise of Getz as a leadoff hitter and as the Royals' starting second baseman. As the team's leadoff hitter, he produced a .248 OBP, before being removed permanently in lieu of Alex Gordon, who took a shining to the spot (.383 OBP). As their second baseman, he lasted until early August, when Johnny Giavotella was called up. For the season, he posted a .255/.313/.287 batting line with 21 steals. It's doubtful the Royals or any team asks him to take on such responsibilities again in 2012. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues will want to use him for his speed, but use caution as his batting average will put a drain on his value.
2011
Getz is the odds-on favorite to start at second base when the Royals open the 2011 season. His 2010 campaign was cut short thanks to a concussion, but he was fully cleared to return to action in December. He's a favorite of manager Ned Yost and likely will be given plenty of at-bats early on in the year. It'll be up to him to build on his successful 2008 and 2009 seasons and leave last year behind him to keep the job.
2010
Getz proved in his rookie season what we thought he would become. A not-too-powerful, not-too-fast hitter that can get on base reliably (.324) and is smart on the basepaths (he succeeded on 25 of 34 tries). His power is extremely limited, with just 24 extra-base hits in 415 plate-appearances. He may have to battle Alberto Callaspo for at-bats after being traded to the Royals, but his ability to steal a base should land him somewhere near the top of the order when he gets into the lineup.
2009
Getz had a career season at Triple-A while being groomed as a utilityman. He may need to play multiple positions in the majors, as the acquisitions of Brent Lillibridge and Wilson Betemit have crowded the Sox infield. The power spike he showed last year is probably not real, so he's an OBP/SB guy without upside who won't play much.
