Edwin Encarnacion went 0-4 with four strikeouts against the Diamondbacks Friday. It did not matter for the Indians, as they won 6-1.
Fantasy Impact
Encarnacion is having a miserable spring, hitting only .170 with a .533 OPS. In contrast, Yonder Alonso has a 1.389 OPS. For a player as reliable as Encarnacion, Spring Training stats are not a good indicator of future performance. Encarnacion is locked in as the team's designated hitter, and based on his track record alone, is worth a third or fourth round pick in standard drafts.
