Fantasy Impact:
“We are exciting with the position he is in, to be able to compete for the third base position," Atkins said. Guerrero was shifted to first base after arriving to 2020 summer camp out of shape. To his credit, the 21-year-old has clearly been working on his fitness this offseason. The biggest issue with a possible return to the hot corner is that Toronto recently signed Marcus Semien, which possibly shifts Cavan Biggio to third. The Blue Jays' lineup is suddenly crowded so we'll have to see how it all shakes out. Regardless of what position he's playing, the key to Guerrero's 2021 campaign will be doing damage on the batted-balls he doesn't hit on the ground.
