In fantasy terms, I had expected him to be worth targetting. His production was limited, but you could define the reasons. How much do you think the post season hype will bump his price?

I like Freese, and I think he will improve, and with 3b being what it is, he is worth targeting, but I wouldn't count on getting him. His post-season heroics will surely bump him up past his roto/fantasy value next year in many leagues. He's a great clutch hitter who came up huge when it counted most, but I don't think he will be jumping into the upper-echelon of 3bman next year.
Had a $12 regular season, is age 28.
I think we'll agree that he was a tempting target entering 2012 - until the playoffs.
Every league will have a couple of owners who totally buy into the hot postseason, and will pay a premium.
I'd nominate him pretty early, and let the dollars flow out of someone else's pocket..

He hit 10 HR in 333 AB last year. If he plays everyday and improves he could hit 20. For less than $15 he's a nice buy. For more than $20 you drank too much Kool-Aid.

This is exactly where I was coming from.

Well gentlemen, it all depends on your league, who is available, and where you want to spend your money.
IN our NL only all of the top 3B will be kept this year with the exception of a $43B David Wright. And that owner turned down a pretty good trade deadline offer from me. If that trade would have went through I would not have kept him next year. So he may or may not be kept.
There are worse guys to gamble on at the auction this coming year. If he goes $20 or under it might be a good buy (and that has nothing to do with his WS performance). A .300 ave with 20 hr is nothing to sneeze at.
I have a $23 Sandoval so I don't have to worry about it.
I fear for Davis's 2012 readiness. That injury was a mess, and these are the Mess - er, METS.
If 100 pct, I think I'd got Davis in spite of positional issue, but I'd be happy with either for that price.
If I had to decide today, though, I'd go with Freese.

If I kept both I would be frozen out of the 1b/3B market at the draft, which I dont know how good it looks yet. I have Freeman at 1B and Sandoval at 3B. If I kept both Freese and Davis, it takes up CI and Util, and Im ineligible to draft any corners at auction.
Im asking because I plan to trade either Davis or freese pre-draft. Not sure who yet.
Freese's value surely went up this post-season, but if you had ranked third baggers before, he probably only leaped over one or two. I have him as my #14 3B for next season:
12 - M. Young
13 - Prado 14 - Freese
15 - Moustakis
16 - Bonifacio
I moved him up within his same tier, but I don't feel comfortable taking him over the likes of Young or anyone above him.
