2020 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Christian Yelich Note
	2. Christian Yelich LF,RF Yelich followed up his preposterous 2018 season with an even better one in 2019, batting .329 with 44 home runs and 30 steals in just 130 games. His ridiculous 35% HR/FB rate regressed as expected, but only to a still nonsensical 32.8%, best in MLB. The issue with Yelich for 2020 has nothing to do with his talent, but is instead all about the fractured kneecap that prematurely ended his season. He's reportedly on track to be ready by Opening Day, but there's obviously a modicum of risk to factor in. 27 weeks ago

Keston Hiura Note
	44. Keston Hiura 2B

Josh Hader Note
	65. Josh Hader RP Hader throws his fastball about 83 percent of the time and batters just can't hit it. They bat .167 against with a miniscule .275 wOBA and there's just no reason to expect that to change. Thus, his nearly 50 percent strikeout rate is likely here to stay, and that makes Hader the top reliever to draft in fantasy, even if his occasional multi-inning role means he won't get every save chance. 27 weeks ago

Brandon Woodruff Note
	100. Brandon Woodruff SP Woodruff earned his breakout 2019, relying on his elite fastball to limit hard contact and avoid big innings. His solid control allows him to keep the line moving, and the Brewers' strong lineup adds to his win potential. Although he missed a large chunk of the season due to injury, he should be ready to lead the Brewers rotation this year, and can and should be drafted as a strong second-tier starter. 27 weeks ago

Lorenzo Cain Note
	137. Lorenzo Cain CF

Avisail Garcia Note
	192. Avisail Garcia CF,RF

Adrian Houser Note
	259. Adrian Houser SP,RP Houser has an elite fastball, which he relies on heavily and against which batters hit just .203 last season. Whether he can continue to succeed with just one very good pitch is an open question, but considering his FIP and xFIP fully supported his 3.72 ERA, it's entirely possible. Overall, Houser should provide strikeouts without hurting you elsewhere, so he's an ideal late-round add. 27 weeks ago

Omar Narvaez Note
	280. Omar Narvaez C

Josh Lindblom Note
	345. Josh Lindblom SP,RP

Freddy Peralta Note
	347. Freddy Peralta SP,RP

Corey Knebel Note
	348. Corey Knebel RP

Corbin Burnes Note
	354. Corbin Burnes SP,RP

Luis Urias Note
	374. Luis Urias 2B,3B,SS 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. 21 weeks ago
