Philip Ervin smacks fifth spring homer Saturday
by Elliott Baas | Sun, Mar 17th 1:53pm EDT
Philip Ervin went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in the Reds' 5-2 spring victory over the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
Ervin has been a force at the plate this spring, hitting .344 with a 1.307 OPS and five home runs in 32 AB. Unfortunately for Ervin, the Reds have a crowded outfield situation and unlike other players Ervin still has a minor league option. The Reds may elect to DFA someone and keep Ervin on the roster, however, as he is probably their best defensive centerfielder on the forty-man roster. Even if he makes the opening day roster playing time will be scarce and he'll have little-to-no fantasy relevance.
