Jose Altuve Note
	1. Jose Altuve HOU

Ozzie Albies Note
	2. Ozzie Albies ATL

Gleyber Torres Note
	3. Gleyber Torres NYY

Ketel Marte Note
	4. Ketel Marte ARI Marte suddenly went from being a career .263 hitter with 22 home runs in 1,548 plate appearances to batting .329 with 32 home runs in 628 plate appearances. And while he made many overall gains, such as a massive increase in launch angle, his expected batting average was just .299 and that .030 difference was 10th-highest in MLB. He also upped his pull percentage by a significant amount, and pulled all but one of his home runs, which should be something that pitchers can exploit in 2020. Buy some of the gains, but consider Marte closer to a .290-25 type of hitter. 26 weeks ago

Whit Merrifield Note
	6. Whit Merrifield KC

Jonathan Villar Note
	7. Jonathan Villar FA

DJ LeMahieu Note
	8. DJ LeMahieu FA LeMahieu tested positive for COVID-19 and is asymptomatic, according to the Yankees. Assuming he rejoins the team by the start of the season - a big "if" but somewhat likely given his early positive test - then he should have little difficulty getting ready for the season. 20 weeks ago

Jeff McNeil Note

Mike Moustakas Note

Yoan Moncada Note
	13. Yoan Moncada CWS

Cavan Biggio Note
	14. Cavan Biggio TOR

Tommy Edman Note
	15. Tommy Edman STL Edman had a tidy little rookie season for the Cardinals, as he batted over .300 and put up 11 home runs and 15 steals in 92 games. He looks destined for a super-utility role in 2020, but that should still mean plenty of playing time. With batting average and steals at a premium, Edman is a solid target as you get into the double-digit rounds. 26 weeks ago

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Note
	16. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. TOR

Brandon Lowe Note
	17. Brandon Lowe TB

Ryan McMahon Note
	18. Ryan McMahon COL

Danny Santana Note
	19. Danny Santana TEX

Kevin Newman Note
	20. Kevin Newman PIT A leadoff hitter who bat .308 last year with 12 home runs and 16 steals in just 130 games? What's not to like? Fine, he is one of the worst in the league in terms of barrel percentage and hard hit rate but even still, he had an expected batting average of .291 last year. Newman won't blow you away, but he'll chip in everywhere, especially the scarce categories. Don't forget about him on draft day. 26 weeks ago

Gavin Lux Note
	21. Gavin Lux LAD

Rougned Odor Note
	22. Rougned Odor TEX

Kolten Wong Note
	23. Kolten Wong FA

Cesar Hernandez Note
	24. Cesar Hernandez FA

Garrett Hampson Note
	25. Garrett Hampson COL

Scott Kingery Note
	26. Scott Kingery PHI Kingery has reported to camp after initially dealing with COVID-19. He says that he's still dealing with his recovery, including some shortness of breath, but it appears likely that he'll be ready to go when the season begins. 20 weeks ago

Daniel Murphy Note
	27. Daniel Murphy FA

Starlin Castro Note
	28. Starlin Castro WSH Castro never developed into the fantasy stud he looked like he might become earlier in his career, but he quietly set a career high in home runs and RBI last year with the Marlins. Now with the Nationals, where he'll bat anywhere from third to fifth, there are going to be RBI opportunities aplenty for the veteran. A career .336/.358/.513 hitter in Nationals Park, Castro makes a fine middle infield option in mixed leagues. 26 weeks ago

Nick Senzel Note
	29. Nick Senzel CIN

Luis Arraez Note
	30. Luis Arraez MIN Arraez came to the majors and did exactly what he has done throughout his minor-league career. He hit for a high average (.334), rarely struck out (7.9%), and offered nearly no power or speed. Even though his expected batting average was nearly 45 points lower than his actual average, he still should be a major contributor in the category. Is that worth the complete lack of production he offers in three other categories? All depends on your team construction. 26 weeks ago

Tommy La Stella Note
	31. Tommy La Stella FA

Robinson Cano Note
	32. Robinson Cano NYM

Nick Solak Note
	33. Nick Solak TEX

	40. Jurickson Profar FA

Ian Happ Note
	41. Ian Happ CHC

Luis Urias Note
	42. Luis Urias MIL Urias tested positive for COVID-19, but is reportedly asymptomatic. Nevertheless, he remains in quarantine and can only rejoin the team after two positive tests. Urias has upside, but given his performance and current health situation, there's almost no reason to bother drafting him in anything but deep NL-only leagues. 20 weeks ago
