Fantasy Impact:

Markakis has three years and approximately $33 million remaining on his deal and could be a valuable trading piece to send to a contender during what will most certainly be a lost season for the Braves. Although he's basically all singles and doubles at this point in his career, he did post the ninth best OBP (.370) and fourth most hits (181) in the NL last year. Owners should take notice in leagues that use these categories.
