Fantasy Impact:
Zobrist has been one of the most underrated players in baseball for years and his vast position eligibility makes him worthy of a draft pick better than his skills ellicit. Zobrist has had an OPS+ of 100 or better in six of the past seven seasons, boosted by his stellar .363 OBP. He has had 10 HR/ 10 SB in each season since 2009 and has also hit 20 or more HR three times in his career. Zobrist has hit 30 or more 2B for the past four seasons and will benefit from the cavernous O.co Stadium for more doubles. Zobrist could be as high as a sixth or seventh round pick because of his positional eligibility and his consistent hitting abilities.
