Fantasy Impact:
Anybody batting 5th in the potent Rockies lineup should be on your fantasy radar, but especially someone like this. Desmond has averaged more than 20 HRs and 78 RBIs over the last five seasons with the Rangers and Nationals, and he's also active on the base paths with 143 career stolen bases. The Rockies signed Desmond to a five-year, $70 million contract this off-season, and given his utility, he may be a multi-position player in fantasy.
