Notes
	Yandy Diaz made the most of the Rays' season at George Steinbrenner Field, cracking the 25-HR mark for the first time in his career while maintaining a .300 average. With the return to much less hitter-friendly Tropicana Field, fantasy managers should not expect another 25 homers, but 20 is within reason. Diaz is a middle-round pick best used to boost batting average, but there is more power to be had elsewhere at the position. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	He has the dreamiest of batted ball profiles in the league, but doesn't hit the ball in the air enough to capitalize and provide consistent power. As usual, however, I am buying in the hopes that his launch angle and fly ball rate finally provide the true breakout we all want to see from Yandy. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
