Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

2020 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Mallex Smith Note
	103. Mallex Smith CF,RF Stolen bases throughout the game are at an all-time low, and yet Smith, who has stolen 86 bases over the past two seasons, doesn't get a whiff until late in drafts. Yes, his average won't help you, he barely contributes any power, he'll likely bat ninth, and he could lose his job. But owners used to fall all over themselves to draft Billy Hamilton because he could single-handedly keep a fantasy team competitive in steals. Smith can do the same, and on a team with nothing to play for, he's likely to run at every possible opportunity. 6 weeks ago

Dee Gordon Note
	170. Dee Gordon 2B Gordon only played half a season and fantasy owners still received 22 steals from him. With a full season, 40 and 100 runs is not out of the question. Although he won't help with homers or RBIs, steals are hard enough to get that he is worth a 20th round pick. 9 weeks ago

Kyle Seager Note
	176. Kyle Seager 3B Seager hasn't hit for batting average in any of the last three seasons, but he did manage to swat 20+ homers for the seventh straight season and he did it last year in just 106 games. This might be a cheap way to grab 30 homers in 2020. 9 weeks ago

Mitch Haniger Note
	179. Mitch Haniger CF,RF Prior to last year's injury, Haniger batted .285 with 26 homers, 90+ runs and 90+ RBIs. There is a chance he returns to that level of production in 2020 but he only batted .220 last season so drafting him even in the middle of your draft comes with considerable risk. 9 weeks ago

Tom Murphy Note
	214. Tom Murphy C Murphy was quietly exceptional for the Mariners in just 260 at-bats, knocking 18 homers with 40 RBIs and a .269 BA. Now that Narvaez is out of his way and in Milwaukee, Murphy should add 200 trips to the plate and could approach 25 or perhaps even 30 homers for fantasy owners. 9 weeks ago

Evan White Note
	231. Evan White 1B

Daniel Vogelbach Note
	233. Daniel Vogelbach 1B,DH Vogelbach did manage 30 homers as many thought he might but the batting average was so horrendous that there are talks that he may lose his job at some point this season. With that said, with the risk comes upside for 40 bombs and a Joey Gallo like season. 9 weeks ago

Kyle Lewis Note
	240. Kyle Lewis CF,RF

Shed Long Note
	242. Shed Long 2B,LF

J.P. Crawford Note
	267. J.P. Crawford SS The former top prospect has immense talent but we most certainly have not seen it in his first 165 MLB games. There is a chance he breaks out this year, but you are best suited merely keeping him on waiver wire speed dial. 9 weeks ago

Jake Fraley Note
	278. Jake Fraley CF

Austin Nola Note
	323. Austin Nola C,1B,2B

Tim Lopes Note
	477. Tim Lopes 2B,LF
