Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

2020 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Bryce Harper Note
	20. Bryce Harper RF,DH

Aaron Nola Note
	69. Aaron Nola SP Nola simply wasn't very good in 2019. His control took a major step back and batters consistently made better contact against him, particularly against his fastball. Whether it was an aberration for the youngster after two years of major growth, or whether perhaps Nola isn't as good as previously thought, is an open question. But given how drastically his control dipped, fantasy owners would be wise to give Nola somewhat of a pass for his 2019. He can't be drafted as an ace, but as a second starter? Go for it. 17 weeks ago

J.T. Realmuto Note
	73. J.T. Realmuto C,DH,1B

Rhys Hoskins Note
	99. Rhys Hoskins 1B

Zack Wheeler Note
	117. Zack Wheeler SP Wheeler's numbers declined from his breakout 2018 season but, overall, there were plenty of gains. He upped his strikeout rate and velocity, cut his walk rate, and set a career high in innings. Now with the Phillies, he'll see a downgrade in park, but because he's been able to avoid home runs over the last two seasons, the move should not have too much of an impact. Wheeler probably won't develop into a fantasy ace, but he's, at worst, a strong third fantasy starter. 17 weeks ago

Brandon Workman Note
	149. Brandon Workman RP Workman was never the guy for the Red Sox . . . until one day he just was. When he finally locked down the closer's role, he was fantastic, striking out batters at will and pitching to a 1.88 ERA. His WHIP hovered near 1.00 despite the fact that he walked more than 5.5 batters per nine innings, a feat which he's unlikely to duplicate. In short, while Workman will close for the Red Sox, he'll need to improve his control in order to hold the job for the whole year. 17 weeks ago

Jean Segura Note
	151. Jean Segura SS,3B,2B You know who didn't love stolen bases? Gabe Kapler. You know who isn't the manager of the Phillies anymore? Gabe Kapler. Segura's numbers stayed relatively consistent last year, except his stolen base totals dropped from the 20-30 range to just 10. But with Kapler out of town, there's every reason to expect the 30-year-old Segura to return to being a 20-steal player with a plus batting average who will chip in everywhere. With dual-eligibility coming, Segura shouldn't be forgotten on draft day. 17 weeks ago

Hector Neris Note
	154. Hector Neris RP Neris tested positive for COVID-19 but is back in camp and looks good to go for the regular season. He morphed into a reliable option in the ninth inning for the Phillies last year, and should be so again assuming his health permits. 11 weeks ago

Didi Gregorius Note
	167. Didi Gregorius SS

Andrew McCutchen Note
	171. Andrew McCutchen LF,RF,DH McCutchen's career with the Phillies was off to a promising start until he tore his ACL running the bases. Although the Phillies were only "hopeful" for April, it now seems likely that McCutchen will be ready for the start of the season. When healthy, McCutchen has developed into a low-batting average, solid overall contributor, and he can still help fantasy owners in 2020. Far from a star, but draftable. 17 weeks ago

Scott Kingery Note
	208. Scott Kingery 3B,CF,2B 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. 10 weeks ago
