Fantasy Impact
Laureano and Mark Canha are the top candidates to lead off for the Athletics in 2021. Marcus Semien and Tommy La Stella led off for Oakland in 2020, but both players left the team during the offseason. Laureano has decent speed and a career .343 on-base percentage. An everyday spot at the top of the order would only increase Laureano’s fantasy value. The 26-year-old OF slashed .213/.338/.366 across 222 plate appearances in 2020.
