Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2018 Fantasy Baseball Rest of Season Notes
|
1.
Mike Trout
CF,DH - LAA
Once again, Trout is having a historically impressive season. With that said, Jose Ramirez has done enough this year that Trout is no longer the surefire number one pick for 2019. In fact, Mookie Betts is right on his tail too.
|
|
2.
Mookie Betts
CF,RF - BOS
Mookie is on pace for one of the best fantasy seasons of all time, with 50 homers, 40 stolen bases. 180 runs scored and a .364 batting average. Scratch that, the best ever. At this point, if you could trade Mike Trout for him, you ought to do it.
|
|
3.
Nolan Arenado
3B - COL
As always, Arenado has been exceptional offensively. He may very well be playing himself into an MVP award despite the Rockies being set to make the playoffs. Somehow, there may be even more to come over the second half.
|
|
4.
Max Scherzer
SP - WSH
|
|
5.
Jose Altuve
2B - HOU
Altuve has produced just 2 homers and 2 steals through a quarter of the season, and we know very well that both of those numbers will spike quickly. The batting average is almost certain to come up as well. Perhaps you can acquire him for far cheaper than he is worth via trade.
|
|
6.
Manny Machado
3B,SS - SD
It isn't recommended that you sell Machado high at this point. He is in a contract year and realizing his potential so this is likely not a fluke. Ride the improvement the rest of the season.
|
|
7.
J.D. Martinez
LF,RF,DH - BOS
It should be no surprise that Martinez is having such a tremendous season, he batted over .300 each of the past three seasons with more HR/PA than Giancarlo Stanton last year. As it stands now, he may be a top 5 fantasy baseball player overall.
|
|
8.
Bryce Harper
CF,RF - FA
The power is still there with Harper, but many are panicking about his .236 batting average. If that is you, stop and take a look at his .198 BABIP, then consider that with his exit velocities and launch angle, that average is entirely unsustainable. He will surely finish north of .270 for the season.
|
|
9.
Jose Ramirez
2B,3B - CLE
In case you have been living under a rock, Ramirez is having one of the greatest fantasy baseball seasons of all-time and may finish with 50 homers, 35 steals and a batting average over .300. If next year's drafts were today, he might go first overall even above Trout.
|
|
10.
Freddie Freeman
1B - ATL
So long as Freeman doesn't end up with a flukey injury again this season, he should now be regarded as the top fantasy first basemen ahead of Rizzo, Votto and even Goldschmidt. Freeman should end with near 35 homers, 10 steals and a batting average well over .300.
|
|
11.
Charlie Blackmon
CF - COL
Blackmon has been nowhere near as useful this season as last year, but that doesn't mean his career is on the downward. There is still a chance he performs as the top overall fantasy baseball player over the second half just like he did for all of 2017.
|
|
12.
Paul Goldschmidt
1B - STL
Goldschmidt has started the find his power stroke, but the steals have disappeared this season and his batting average is lacking. He is still a clear-cut top 20 fantasy player and top 3 first basemen, but no longer seems to be a first round talent.
|
|
13.
Chris Sale
SP - BOS
|
|
14.
Corey Kluber
SP - CLE
|
|
15.
Francisco Lindor
SS - CLE
Lindor has been phenomenal this season and is showing no signs of slowing down. Don't be surprised if he finishes the year with a remarkable 45 homers along with much more from all of the other fantasy categories.
|
|
16.
Trea Turner
SS - WSH
Turner hasn't been the top five fantasy player many expected, but he may still finish with 20 homers and 40 steals, which clearly makes him no slouch. If he wants to return top 20 value, however, we will need to see the batting average soar over the second-half.
|
|
17.
Giancarlo Stanton
LF,RF,DH - NYY
Stanton has been a disappointment, but don't forget that Manny Machado and Anthony Rizzo had terrible starts to their 2017 seasons before bouncing back in a major way. Stanton will too so do not sell him low.
|
|
18.
Carlos Correa
SS - HOU
Correa wasn't doing a ton before he went on the DL, but keep in mind that he has MVP type upside at the plate. He should not be sold low and if you do not own him, don't hesitate to feel out the other owner to see if you can land him at a discount.
|
|
19.
Aaron Judge
RF,DH - NYY
Judge is bound to hit about 40 homers with well over 100 runs and 100 RBIs. He is even stealing a few bases and keeping the batting average up around .280. If he can continue to do this the remainder of the year, we are looking at a first round pick next season.
|
|
20.
Joey Votto
1B - CIN
Votto's power hasn't quite picked up this season, as he is on pace for fewer than 20 homers. keep in mind, however, that he is notoriously a tremendous second-half player. You may be able to get him at a discount on the trade market.
|
|
21.
Justin Verlander
SP - HOU
|
|
22.
Jacob deGrom
SP - NYM
|
|
23.
Anthony Rizzo
1B - CHC
Don't panic and sell Rizzo for half of what he is worth. Just take a look at how his season started last year and where his final numbers ended up and you'll feel significantly better about his slow start in 2018.
|
|
24.
Kris Bryant
3B,RF - CHC
Bryant has not exactley been bad, but based on where fantasy owners selected him, they have to be kicking themselves. You'd have to think he will pick up some more homers in the second half, but even then he would still finish below 25.
|
|
25.
George Springer
CF,RF,DH - HOU
Springer has been a disappointment to fantasy owners so you may be able to pick him up via trade before your league's deadline. While he might not hit 35 homers or bat .270, his second half expectactions are still that of a top 12 fantasy outfielder.
|
|
26.
Luis Severino
SP - NYY
|
|
27.
Clayton Kershaw
SP - LAD
|
|
28.
Andrew Benintendi
LF,CF - BOS
Benintendi seems to be the only Boston hitter who isn't off to a great start. He will eventually get his numbers back on track, however, so don't start getting the idea to sell him.
|
|
29.
Starling Marte
CF - PIT
Marte has hit the DL with an oblique strain and will likely miss a few weeks as a result. He has been phenomenal this season as part of the surprisingly great Pirates' offense. Expect more of the same when he returns.
|
|
30.
Noah Syndergaard
SP - NYM
|
|
31.
Christian Yelich
LF,CF,RF - MIL
Yelich may not be the greatest source of power, but he will finish the season with both 20 homers and 20 steals while batting over .300 and scoring over 100 runs. That is a top 10 outfielder without question and there is no sign of regression coming.
|
|
32.
Cody Bellinger
1B,CF - LAD
Bellinger has not had the most impressive start to the season, and while there is something to the sophomore slump theory, it is more likely that Bellinger will just heat up as the weather does. As of Mid-May, he is among the best buy-low candidates in all of fantasy baseball.
|
|
33.
Alex Bregman
3B,SS - HOU
After starting incredibly slow for the second year in a row, Bregman has begun to turn his season around of late. He is among the best buy-low candidates in fantasy baseball right now and we can expect somewhere in the neighborhood of a 20/20 season with a useful batting average.
|
|
34.
Brian Dozier
2B - WSH
There is a chance Dozier gets dealt before the deadline, most likely to the Brewers. If that were to happen, his stock would take a major leap forward, as the ballpark is better suited for power hitters and the lineup will help him generate more RBIs and runs.
|
|
35.
Rhys Hoskins
1B,LF - PHI
Hoskins has been nowhere close to the same player we saw at stretches in the second half last season. Rather, the batting average is lackluster and the power is merely mediocre. This is more in line with what you ought to expect the remainder of the season.
|
|
36.
Anthony Rendon
3B - WSH
Rendon has been missing time with a toe injury, but with the Nationals placing him on the DL, it seems as though they will not allow the issue to linger. Perhaps you can buy him low with his owner probably panicked.
|
|
37.
Nelson Cruz
DH - MIN
Cruz is no longer at the top of his game, but that doesn't mean he has fallen off the table like Jose Bautista and others did. Rather, Cruz should still hit 35 homers with near 100 RBIs and a decent bating average.
|
|
38.
Justin Upton
LF,DH - LAA
Upton doesn't have much help in the Angels lineup outside of Trout and he won't help you in batting average at all, but chances are, you will gladly take 35 homers and 90 RBIs. That is what Upton should give you for this final stat-line this year.
|
|
39.
Stephen Strasburg
SP - WSH
|
|
40.
Dee Gordon
2B,CF - SEA
Gordon is finally starting to bounce back, now bringing the average up to .280. By the end of the year, it may approach .300, which with 40+ steals would make him an excellent fantasy middle infielder, just not quite as much as we were all expecting.
|
|
41.
Khris Davis
LF,DH - OAK
Davis has the low batting average, like always, but is somehow on pace for 50 homers and 140 RBIs. Neither of those numbers will likely hold, but it goes without saying that he has been an incredibly useful fantasy asset thus far.
|
|
42.
Carlos Carrasco
SP - CLE
|
|
43.
Gerrit Cole
SP - HOU
|
|
44.
Aaron Nola
SP - PHI
|
|
45.
Zack Greinke
SP - ARI
|
|
46.
Ozzie Albies
2B - ATL
Albies was a favorite breakout candidate by many in the fantasy, and while it looks great so far, he is almost certainly not going to keep up Carlos Correa type numbers for the full season. Expect him to fall back quite a bit, and maximize on his trade value if you are able.
|
|
47.
Gary Sanchez
C,DH - NYY
Although Sanchez is on the DL and hitting like garbage so far this season, the catcher position is such a wasteland in fantasy that he may still be the top catcher for the remainder of the season. Continue to start him regardless of your league settings when he returns.
|
|
48.
Edwin Encarnacion
1B,DH - SEA
Typically, it makes no sense to sell a star who started their season slowly, but in this particular case it may actually be reasonable. At his old age, there is no guarantee he will bounceback so don't hesitate to feel out the trade market to see what you might be able to get.
|
|
49.
Lorenzo Cain
CF - MIL
Cain may remarkably finish the season with fewer than 50 RBIs and his 15 homer pace isn't anything to write home about, but he has been tremendous in the other three primary categories and for that, he should be regarded as a top 20 fantasy outfielder for now.
|
|
50.
Jean Segura
SS - PHI
The batting average has been exceptional from Segura and he may challenge for the league lead by the end of the season if he keeps it up. A 25 stolen base pace doesn't hurt either. At this rate, he looks to be a top 50 fantasy pick in next season's drafts.
|
|
51.
Marcell Ozuna
LF - STL
As the weather heats up, so too will Ozuna's bat. Don't be quick to try getting rid of him via trade. However, if you don't own him, now is the time to try to pounce on a disappointed owners misfortune.
|
|
52.
Craig Kimbrel
RP - FA
|
|
53.
James Paxton
SP - NYY
|
|
54.
A.J. Pollock
CF - LAD
Pollock will miss around six weeks thanks to a thumb injury sustained from diving. This might be your opportunity to acquire a player who was on pace for a 40/35 season before the injury. He is among the top 15 fantasy players when he is healthy.
|
|
55.
Madison Bumgarner
SP - SF
|
|
56.
Tommy Pham
LF,CF - TB
Just because Pham is off to a killer start doesn't mean it is wise to sell him. This is what he did last year as well and he received MVP votes as a result. Get used to seeing Pham as one of the best fantasy outfielders in baseball.
|
|
57.
Kenley Jansen
RP - LAD
Jansen is not going to lose his job so don't go picking up Josh Fields. You ought to be concerned, however, as his terrible performance may be a sign of something wrong with his arm. Sell him now if you still can for a good price.
|
|
58.
Xander Bogaerts
SS - BOS
Many expected Bogaerts to be among the top players at the position this season, and while he hasn't been bad, there is no question that several have passed him up. If 2018 drafts were today, he'd merely be a fringe top 100 pick.
|
|
59.
Javier Baez
2B,3B,SS - CHC
We've been waiting for the breakout for a few seasons and when it finally seemed like it might never come, Baez decided to break out. What he has been doing so far appears to be legitimate so don't attempt to sell him high.
|
|
60.
Ronald Acuna
LF,CF - ATL
Acuna has not been the world beater since his call up that everyone expected. He certainly hasn't been terrible, but if he continues to slide backward, be ready to make a trade offer to a disappointed owner. He's got loads of value the remainder of the season.
|
|
61.
Travis Shaw
1B,3B,2B - MIL
The batting average is merely mediocre for Shaw this season, but when he is on pace for 90 RBIs, 80 runs and 30 homers, you can forgive him for a minor annoyance in one category. His second half is likely to look similar to what we've seen so far.
|
|
62.
Wil Myers
3B,LF,RF - SD
Myers has been on the DL most of the season, but is apparently back to good now. Let's not so quickly forget that his talent had many selecting him within the first 50 picks of fantasy drafts this spring. Don't hesitate to put a trade offer in to see if you can find a bargain.
|
|
63.
Edwin Diaz
RP - NYM
|
|
64.
Aroldis Chapman
RP - NYY
|
|
65.
Josh Donaldson
3B,DH - ATL
Eventually Donaldson will be back on the field, likely by early August, and when he does return, don't expect the .230 batting average to continue. More likely, he will return to being a tremendous offensive asset, but maybe a step below what we've been used to seeing.
|
|
66.
Nicholas Castellanos
RF - DET
Castellanos may not be in a good lineup, but his batted ball rates have been incredible. He may be worth acquiring via trade before the weather heats up and all these balls fly out of the yard.
|
|
67.
Trevor Story
SS - COL
Story is not hitting for much in the way of batting average, but he is on pace for a 30/30 season which would be tremendous for a shortstop. Fantasy owners can deal with a batting average in the 240s with that kind of power/speed combo.
|
|
68.
Daniel Murphy
1B,2B - COL
Daniel Murphy is back in the bigs now and is struggling but it shouldn't last too long. If you are in need of a middle infielder, put a feeler out there for Murphy, who his owner might not remember is Jose Altuve minus the steals in fantasy baseball.
|
|
69.
Andrew McCutchen
LF,RF - PHI
McCutchen has been a tremendous disappointment this season with a sub-standard batting average and lack of both steals and power. He may kick it into gear to close to season like we saw last year but he may not be a top 100 fantasy player any more.
|
|
70.
Whit Merrifield
1B,2B,CF,RF,DH - KC
It doesn't seem as though Merrifield will lead the league in stealing again this year, but 30 is a possibility, which paired with a .300 average and plenty of runs makes him a top 100 fantasy asset, just as he was expected to be heading into drafts.
|
|
71.
Carlos Martinez
SP - STL
|
|
72.
Eric Hosmer
1B - SD
Hosmer has been quite literally the worst offensive player in baseball for an extended period. He will surely turn it around, but is nowhere close to where he once was. He is on the fringe of being drop-worthy at this point.
|
|
73.
Jose Berrios
SP - MIN
Berrios had four terrible starts and still somehow has a WHIP under 1.00. He will kill your team every now and then, but he is also on the verge of becoming a true ace. Don't be afraid to start him each time out. It will pay off in the long run.
|
|
74.
Eugenio Suarez
3B - CIN
Suarez has been one of the biggest breakout players over the last calendar year. This season, he is on pace for well over 100 RBIs, 30 homers and is batting .312. Whatever you do, don't even consider selling him high, since this is where his value will likely stay.
|
|
75.
Mike Moustakas
3B,DH - MIL
While Moose isn't hitting for average, the power has shown up once again and he should end north of 30 homers. There is a chance for quite a bit more, however, if he were to be dealt at the deadline to a team with a ballpark more conducive to homers than Kansas City.
|
|
76.
Trevor Bauer
SP - CLE
|
|
77.
Blake Snell
SP - TB
|
|
78.
Didi Gregorius
SS - NYY
Gregorius has taken significant steps forward over his last 50 games, and the power seems legitimately here to stay. With that said, he still has some work to do before he catches the Seagers and Lindors of the first tier.
|
|
79.
Charlie Morton
SP - TB
|
|
80.
Chris Archer
SP - PIT
|
|
81.
Dallas Keuchel
SP - FA
|
|
82.
Robbie Ray
SP - ARI
Ray owners have been worried that even when Ray returns from his oblique injury that he will struggle again. The reason he was struggling, however, may have been because he was pitching through it. Try to buy low now before he bounces back.
|
|
83.
Patrick Corbin
SP - WSH
|
|
84.
Ender Inciarte
CF - ATL
Don't look now, but Ender is on pace for 15 homers and (jaw hits the floor) 70 stolen bases. All of this while batting a measly .264. That could very well improve to near .300 and when it does, Ender may just end up stealing near 80 bags.
|
|
85.
Mitch Haniger
CF,RF - SEA
Haniger is beginning to slow down, but still on pace to hit 40 homers and bat near .300. Both should continue to see some regression, but there is no denying the fact that he is among the most improved hitters in baseball this season.
|
|
86.
Michael Brantley
LF,DH - HOU
While it never seems to last long, Brantley is healthy and when he is healthy, he should be owned in every league. He is a good bet to bat over .300 with both a hint of power and speed.
|
|
87.
Jonathan Schoop
2B - MIN
Now that Schoop is back from injury, he should yet again be regarded as a top 100 overall player for the rest of the season. Sure, he has struggled in every part of the game, but that 13 homer pace is likely to end up around 25 with a respectable batting average.
|
|
88.
DJ LeMahieu
2B - NYY
LeMahieu's batting average hasn't quite been what we've grown used to seeing, but the power has improved and he could end up with both 15 homers and 10 steals this season. He is no longer a top 100 fantasy player but certainly one worth owning and starting in every league.
|
|
89.
Willson Contreras
C - CHC
Contreras has seen his power disappear seemingly, but he is still hitting for average and playing most every day. That is enough to warrant starting him in every league considering the quality of the lineup he is in and the RBIs + runs that will come from being in it.
|
|
90.
Joey Gallo
1B,LF,CF,RF - TEX
If you are disappointed in what Gallo has done so far (.213 BA and 7 HR) then you clearly didn't know who he was when you drafted him. This 50 home run pace might stick for the season and I'll be no one will complain about his crummy batting average when that comes to pass.
|
|
91.
Masahiro Tanaka
SP - NYY
|
|
92.
Jose Quintana
SP - CHC
|
|
93.
Kyle Hendricks
SP - CHC
|
|
94.
Lance McCullers
SP - HOU
|
|
95.
Justin Turner
3B - LAD
Turner is back with the Dodgers and batting in the middle of the order. This is no longer a top-tier offense like we've grown used to seeing, but he can still produce plenty of runs to go along with what will likely be one of the best batting averages in baseball.
|
|
96.
Odubel Herrera
CF - PHI
Herrera has been unbelievable this season with a .361 batting average. That is almost certainly going to come down, but the power and speed may both improve too, leaving Herrera as a sure-fire top 80 fantasy player at this point.
|
|
97.
Nomar Mazara
RF - TEX
Mazara is gearing up for a comeback in a few weeks and when he returns, fantasy owners will get a four category contributor that can be played as a fourth outfielder every time he faces a right-handed pitcher.
|
|
98.
Elvis Andrus
SS - TEX
Andrus is among the top buy low candidates. Granted, he is on the disabled list for another month or two, but based on how he began his season, you may find his owner to be impatient and far underestimate what he should do the remainder of the season.
|
|
99.
Jake Arrieta
SP - PHI
|
|
100.
Scooter Gennett
2B - CIN
Scooter is back to pummeling baseballs after a difficult start. He is now batting well over .300 and on pace for 30 homers on the season. At this point, he needs to be owned and started in every league.
|
|
101.
Carlos Santana
1B,3B - CLE
You may not be impressed by Santa's lackluster batting average, but he is on pace for 25+ homers and nearly 100 RBIs and runs, so don't think for one second about moving him to your bench or even dropping him.
|
|
102.
Felipe Vazquez
RP - PIT
|
|
103.
Raisel Iglesias
RP - CIN
|
|
104.
J.T. Realmuto
C,1B - PHI
Not only is Realmuto producing above and beyond Buster Posey, but he is doing so in a lineup with no protection. That could change shortly, as the Marlins are expected to sell him to a contender. Once he moves out of Miami's park and lineup, the stats could take off even more.
|
|
105.
David Price
SP - BOS
There will always be injury concerns with Price, as is common with pitchers as they age. With that said, he just twirled a complete game with 8 strikeouts and clearly has enough left in the tank that you ought to hang onto him for now.
|
|
106.
Matt Carpenter
1B,2B,3B - STL
Carpenter started off terribly, but he is suddenly on fire and looks like the version of himself we grew used to seeing. Don't give up and drop him or sell him low, Carp is back and should be regarded as a top 12 second basemen from here on out.
|
|
107.
Cody Allen
RP - LAA
|
|
108.
Matt Olson
1B - OAK
Olson started heating up a few weeks ago and is now entirely on fire. He leads all of baseball in hard-hit percentage and could very well end the season with 40+ homers. Granted, the batting average won't be useful, but it should end up north of .230.
|
|
109.
Alex Wood
SP - CIN
|
|
110.
Rafael Devers
3B - BOS
Devers is on the DL for an unknown period of time, but based on how the Red Sox are playing and his tremendous upside, it seems likely they will give him plenty of time to get to 100% before returning. Don't be shocked if he misses most of August before getting back to Boston.
|
|
111.
Jon Lester
SP - CHC
|
|
112.
Justin Smoak
1B,DH - TOR
Clearly what happened last season with Smoak's stats was a fluke, as he has proven substantial regression. He isn't the worst depth bat, but could certainly be unowned in standard sized leagues without regret.
|
|
113.
Sean Doolittle
RP - WSH
|
|
114.
Miles Mikolas
SP - STL
When Mikolas came over, there were plenty of question marks, but he has passed the test with flying colors. The only question now is whether he will make the all-star team or not.
|
|
115.
Brad Hand
RP - CLE
|
|
116.
Jameson Taillon
SP - PIT
|
|
117.
Kyle Schwarber
LF - CHC
Schwarber is back to a crummy batting average after showing some life earlier in the year. He is still hitting dingers, however, and could end the season with around 35 plus 80/80 RBIs and runs. That is a combo any owner would be glad to have in their lineup every day.
|
|
118.
Rougned Odor
2B,DH - TEX
Odor may be continuing his struggles from last season, but he is nowhere close to being worthy of a drop. Last season his batting average was terrible, but middle infielders who hit 30 homers and steal 15 bases don't grow on trees.
|
|
119.
Wade Davis
RP - COL
|
|
120.
Yasiel Puig
RF - CIN
Puig is back on the DL, but should return shortly. When he does, expect much of the same, where he contributes in all five categories, but is merely mediocre in each one.
|
|
121.
Blake Treinen
RP - OAK
|
|
122.
Shin-Soo Choo
LF,RF,DH - TEX
Choo has been exceptional this season as we have seen for months at a time during his career. He will almost certainly not continue his current pace, however, so don't buy him as a top 20 outfielder, but if you own him, perhaps you can find a buyer who believes in him.
|
|
123.
Ryan Braun
1B,LF - MIL
Braun has not contributed this season as much as he has in past seasons, but he still provides enough power and speed to warrant owning in an injury-riddled league.
|
|
124.
Mike Clevinger
SP - CLE
|
|
125.
Jose Martinez
1B,RF - STL
If you were wondering if Martinez is the real deal, look no further than his batted ball data, which is among the elite hitters in baseball since he joined the Cardinals last season. You may actually still be able to trade for him at a discount compared to what he is worth.
|
|
126.
David Peralta
LF - ARI
Peralta has bounced back well this year, batting .288 and on pace for 30 homers. He doesn't offer much else and shouldn't be played versus lefties, but is a reliable fifth outfielder for now.
|
|
127.
Adrian Beltre
3B,DH - FA
Beltre is out again with another injury, and while he will return eventually, we ought to expect another soft-tissue DL stint at some point. His power seems to have disappeared, and while he will still be a source of batting average, we can't rely on him as a top 100 fantasy player any more.
|
|
128.
Kyle Seager
3B - SEA
Seager was so reliable and consistent for years, but at this point, it seems as though he won't return to that type of production. He is still worthy of a start every week, but it is time we admit that he is no longer a top 100 fantasy baseball player.
|
|
129.
Ian Desmond
1B,LF - COL
Desmond may only be batting .175, but we have seen enough of him throughout his career to know that won't stick. The average will jump and 25 to 30 HR with about a dozen steals is a solid bet for his final line.
|
|
130.
Gleyber Torres
2B,SS - NYY
Now that Torres is called up, he should be owned in every single league. He's got a Michael Brantley type of offensive game to him, but will qualify at 2B, 3B and SS before long unlike Brantley. Torres may be a top 100 pick next season.
|
|
131.
J.A. Happ
SP - NYY
|
|
132.
Dylan Bundy
SP - BAL
Bundy is so inconsistent thus far, and it seems as though he will be a frusterating one to own, but don't give up hope after three consecutive bad starts, it likely just means a handful of dominant ones are coming.
|
|
133.
Rich Hill
SP - LAD
You couldn't sell Hill and his 6.20 ERA for anything right now, and it wouldn't be wise to buy someone with so many question marks. Chances are, however, that he will post a great stretch of three or four starts at some point. When he does, you'll have a chance to sell high and should take advantage of it.
|
|
134.
Cesar Hernandez
2B - PHI
Year in and year out, Hernandez goes overlooked in fantasy baseball and this season is no different. He is on pace for 15 homers and 25 steals with a quality batting average and well over 100 runs. Don't hesitate to start him, and if you are able, put in a trade offer in case his owner is sleeping.
|
|
135.
Rick Porcello
SP - BOS
|
|
136.
Justin Bour
1B - LAA
While you might not want to play Bour every day, he is an excellent streamer against almost any righty pitcher, or if you have deeper benches, you can use him in those situations so no one else can beat you to the punch.
|
|
137.
Zack Godley
SP - ARI
|
|
138.
Adam Jones
CF,DH - FA
If Jones gets traded, we would likely see a big boost in runs and RBIs, as Baltimore's offense is just too lousy to support him in those categories. Otherwise, he remains a mediocre fourth outfielder in fantasy leagues.
|
|
139.
Adam Eaton
LF,RF - WSH
It is now to the point where Eaton has been back long enough that we should have seen power or speed if it was going to come. Granted, he will still be a significant help in terms of batting average while scoring some runs, but is no longer a top 100 overall player.
|
|
140.
Jack Flaherty
SP - STL
When Alex Reyes was announced a starter upon his return, it seemed that Flaherty would be sent back down, but he is just pitching too well to lose his job. At this point, it seems that Luke Weaver is on the chopping block at that Flaherty will stay in the rotation.
|
|
141.
Tim Anderson
SS - CWS
Tim Anderson is not only stealing bases at an elite clip, but he has had a bit of a power surge this season. It has come at the expensive of his batting average, but with his 20 HR, 50 SB rate, Anderson has become a top 10 fantasy shortstop.
|
|
142.
Chris Taylor
2B,SS,LF,CF - LAD
Taylor has not been as solid fantasy wise as last year, but the Dodgers still have him batting lead-off and are clearly expecting the numbers to bounceback toward where they were last season.
|
|
143.
Michael Conforto
LF,CF,RF - NYM
Conforto is nowhere near who he once was. Perhaps the shoulder is still an issue, but whatever it is, he can't be rostered until he starts batting .250 or hitting homers.
|
|
144.
Luis Castillo
SP - CIN
Don't look now, but Castillo has now gone 18 innings with a 3.00 ERA and 22 strikeouts over his past three starts. The underlying numbers indicated that this was inevitable, so don't think of it as a fluke. In fact, you may still be able to buy him as a discount considering his ERA is still 6.02. He is a top 35 pitcher the rest of the way with considerable upside.
|
|
145.
Corey Knebel
RP - MIL
|
|
146.
Andrelton Simmons
SS - LAA
Not only is Simmons the best defender in all of baseball, but his offense has developed into a strong second-tier type of player. He is on pace for 15 homers and 20 steals to go with a tremendous batting average. That .342 line won't keep up all year, but .300 is a legitimate possibility.
|
|
147.
Brett Gardner
LF,CF - NYY
Gardner isn't much help in any one category, but if you need a warm body while one of your fantasy starters is on the bench, he is useful enough in all five categories to warrant a roster spot.
|
|
148.
Evan Gattis
DH - FA
Gattis is batting under .200 with limited power through a quarter of the season, but the Astros are still running him out there every day. That should tell you that there is still plenty of hope for him in fantasy, considering Houston has so many other options they could use instead. Expect a bounceback beginning any day now.
|
|
149.
Yoan Moncada
2B - CWS
Moncada's surface level statistics are not where fantasy owners would want them to be, but he has the highest average exit velocity in all of baseball. Hang onto him and if you can, buy him low before the numbers begin to catch up to the batted ball data.
|
|
150.
Sean Newcomb
SP - ATL
Newcomb has been sensational, especially over his last three scoreless starts. You may be tempted to "sell high" on him at this point, but it is not exactly a move we stand behind. What you are seeing of Newcomb is more than likely the real deal. He is a top 25 starting pitcher and should be regarded as such on the trade market.
|
|
151.
Kenta Maeda
SP - LAD
|
|
152.
Bradley Boxberger
RP - KC
|
|
153.
Jeurys Familia
RP - NYM
|
|
154.
Matt Kemp
LF,RF - CIN
Kemp won't hit 30 homers anymore and the speed is completely gone, but batting .280+ is definitely in the cards. With that said, if you own him, don't hesitate to see what you can get for him on the trade market.
|
|
155.
Jonathan Gray
SP - COL
|
|
156.
Aaron Hicks
CF - NYY
|
|
157.
Gio Gonzalez
SP - FA
|
|
158.
Billy Hamilton
CF - KC
Hamilton has been so bad that even the lowly Reds have him batting 9th. If he continues at this rate, which is in the realm of possibilities, Hamilton may finally lose his starting job. You can't drop him yet, but try to sell him if you are still able.
|
|
159.
Ryan Zimmerman
1B - WSH
Zimmerman has started the season with lousy statistics, but his batted ball rates are through the roof. This tells us that his numbers will emerge sooner or later. Don't give up on him yet. As long as he stays hea;thy, he should be owned and started everywhere.
|
|
160.
Juan Soto
LF - WSH
After a scorching start, Soto has slowed down a bit. Still, he is batting over .300 as a teenager with a pro-rated 25 homer, 85/85 RBI/run pace. He should still fade a little more, but is no doubt a top 30 fantasy outfielder already and destined to be one of the best in baseball someday soon.
|
|
161.
Matt Chapman
3B - OAK
Many expected Chapman to hit north of 30 homers, but at this rate, he would be lucky to surpass 20. That won't cut it, nor will his 55 RBI pace and .250 average. If you are desperate, he isn't a bad option, but chances are, your waiver wire has stronger choices at the hot corner.
|
|
162.
Nick Markakis
RF - ATL
While Markakis may still be batting over .300, he has come crashing back down to earth over the past month. He can still be started in every league, but is no longer a top 30 fantasy outfielder.
|
|
163.
Cole Hamels
SP - CHC
It seemed for a while that Hamels' career might be on the last wheel, but he appears to have reinvented himself this year. He looks terrific so this shouldn't be regarded as some short-term fluke.
|
|
164.
Salvador Perez
C,DH - KC
Salvador Perez is a top five fantasy hitter now that he has returned from his trip to the disabled list. You can expect him to continue contributing in the power department this season.
|
|
165.
Arodys Vizcaino
RP - ATL
|
|
166.
Wilson Ramos
C,DH - NYM
Ramos is back to hitting how he was prior to his injury. He is a strong source of batting average and provides enough power that he just might be among the top five catchers in fantasy baseball at this point.
|
|
167.
Corey Dickerson
LF,DH - PIT
Dickerson has been an easy player to overlook since he left Colorado for some reason, but the matter of the fact is that he has continued to produce. He may not swat 30 homers, but the batting average will be around .300 and he has sufficient power and speed.
|
|
168.
Josh Hader
RP - MIL
Hader has no chance at getting save opportunities because the Brewers insist on using him in the Andrew Miller role. With that being said, he needs to be owned and used in every league, as he offers virtually the same profile as Miller.
|
|
169.
Luke Weaver
SP - ARI
It seemed for a while as though Weaver might be destined for the bullpen with Wainwright returning and Reyes coming shortly. Now that Waino is out for 60 days and Weaver is pitching better, he ought to still be owned in very single league.
|
|
170.
Josh Bell
1B - PIT
Although Bell has shown enough flashes for fantasy owners to keep an eye on him, the production has been downright awful with a subpar batting average and virtually no power. For now, he ought to remain a free agent.
|
|
171.
Yadier Molina
C - STL
Yadi is back with St. Louis and even though he is old, he still bats toward the middle of an impressive lineup. He will get plenty of RBI opportunities and somehow has more power now than ever before.
|
|
172.
Jesus Aguilar
1B - MIL
You may not have noticed, but Aguilar has quietly been one of the best hitters in the National League. His OPS is nearing 1.000 and while statcast data indicates some regression, even a large drop off would leave him as a surefire fantasy starter.
|
|
173.
Max Muncy
1B,2B,3B - LAD
Muncy has cooled down, but still has an absurd 15 homers in 157 at bats thus far. He ought to be started every day regardless of the matchup unless he turns into a dud for a full month. At this point, there is just too much potential to bench him.
|
|
174.
Nick Pivetta
SP - PHI
|
|
175.
Shohei Ohtani
DH - LAA
|
|
176.
Ian Happ
3B,LF,CF,RF - CHC
Many are likely wondering if Happ should be dropped, but the answer is a definite no. He has been losing some playing time to Albert Almora, but that shouldn't last long. He has tremendous power and should contribute across the board.
|
|
177.
Yulieski Gurriel
1B,3B,DH - HOU
By this point, we know Gourriel won't help much in the power department, but a .300+ batting average and plenty of runs and RBIs to accompany it is a more than sufficient combination.
|
|
178.
Delino DeShields
CF - TEX
|
|
179.
Mike Foltynewicz
SP - ATL
|
|
180.
Marcus Semien
SS - OAK
Semien hasn't exactly hit for the same pop as we grew used to seeing, but his batting average has improved in what seems to be a trade-off. He is still a solid source of power and speed, plus this improved A's offense will provide your fantasy lineup plenty of runs and RBIs from Semien.
|
|
181.
Paul DeJong
SS - STL
DeJong is out for a few weeks after getting hit by a pitch. When he returns, we ought to expect similar production to what we have been seeing. The batting average is likely to come down from .260, but there will be homers galore.
|
|
182.
Walker Buehler
SP - LAD
What we are seeing from Buehler is the real deal. He may not pitch 150 innings, but when he goes, he is a top 25 pitcher with the eventual upside to compete for Cy Young awards. He should be started regardless of the matchup or ballpark.
|
|
183.
Roberto Osuna
RP - HOU
|
|
184.
Yonder Alonso
1B - CWS
Alonso has slowed down from what we saw last season, but has enough power and a decent enough batting average to justify owning if you are in a tough spot from injuries.
|
|
185.
Kevin Gausman
SP - ATL
|
|
186.
Robinson Cano
2B - NYM
After breaking his hand, we sound after found out that Cano was dropping his appeal for an 80 game suspension. If you can afford to hold him on the DL for that long, he will have 40 games of quality baseball for you at the end of the season.
|
|
187.
Byron Buxton
CF - MIN
Prior to his trip to the DL for migraines, Buxton was off to a dreadful start at the plate but on pace for well over 40 stolen bases. So long as he can get healthy and maintain his health, he should be a top 80 fantasy player.
|
|
188.
Yasmani Grandal
C - MIL
Grandal was expected to split time with Austin Barnes but Yasmani was so good at plate in Spring Training that he appears to have won the job outright. It has only helped that Grandal has been the best offensive catcher thus far.
|
|
189.
Ian Kinsler
2B - SD
The batting average is dreadful, but Kinsler is offering both power and speed to offset the difficulties getting on base. He is by no means an ideal starting second basemen in fantasy, but you could certainly do worse.
|
|
190.
Ken Giles
RP - TOR
|
|
191.
Ross Stripling
SP,RP - LAD
|
|
192.
Keone Kela
RP - PIT
|
|
193.
Manuel Margot
CF - SD
Now that Margot is off the DL, we can expect to see his batting average climb to well above .135. He offers both power and speed upside, but no one will blame you if you cut ties with him for now.
|
|
194.
Max Kepler
CF,RF - MIN
Kepler has had an impressive start to the season and it may only be the beginning of a real breakout. Kepler has great tools and has yet to realize his full potential.
|
|
195.
Brandon Nimmo
LF,CF,RF - NYM
Nimmo was sensational to begin the season, but has cooled off. In OBP leagues, he is still a must-start every day, but as it is now in standard leagues, he is a middle of the road in all five categories so you can take him or leave him.
|
|
196.
Shane Greene
RP - DET
|
|
197.
Stephen Piscotty
RF - OAK
The overall numbers for Piscotty at this point in the season haven't been great, but over the past month, he has kicked it into gear and may just stick here with a strong batting average and a sufficient number of homers, RBIs and runs.
|
|
198.
Miguel Andujar
3B,DH - NYY
When Andujar was called up, it seemed like only a matter of time before Torres took his job, but he is absolutely mashing and until that changes, he's got the job on lock down. Grab him now if he is still available.
|
|
199.
Chase Anderson
SP - MIL
|
|
200.
Eduardo Escobar
3B,SS - ARI
Escobar developed power this season and may just finish the year with 25 homers and a bunch of RBIs to go with it. The underlying metrics do not suggest that this is a fluke, so don't hesitate to start him with confidence as the batting average is sufficient too.
|
|
201.
Avisail Garcia
RF - TB
|
|
202.
Adam Duvall
1B,LF - ATL
|
|
203.
Eric Thames
1B,LF,RF - MIL
While Thames hasn't been as superb as last season, he is still a worthwhile player to roster in standard leagues. He should end up with 20+ homers, double digit steals and a mediocre batting average.
|
|
204.
Asdrubal Cabrera
2B,3B,SS - TEX
You can say what you want about Cabrera's hot start, but we have seen him long enough in the bigs to know that he is not a .320 hitter. The 25 homer pace might be legitimate, but that batting average is going to come down before long.
|
|
205.
Tanner Roark
SP - CIN
|
|
206.
Greg Bird
1B - NYY
Bird is rehabbing now and should be back with the big league club by June. When he returns to the lineup, he has significant potential, but it may be wise to sell him as soon as he starts raking, considering he hasn't been able to stay healthy for even a few months at any point in his career.
|
|
207.
Sonny Gray
SP - CIN
|
|
208.
Trey Mancini
1B,LF - BAL
Mancini has taken a far enough step backwards this season that he is at risk of losing his starting job on the Orioles. That should tell you everything you need to know about his fantasy status.
|
|
209.
C.J. Cron
1B,DH - MIN
Cron has substantial power and should have no trouble finishing the year with over 30 homers. With that said, the batting average is a touch below par so he isn't a sure-fire starter in every league.
|
|
210.
Jonathan Villar
2B,SS - BAL
Villar's speed hasn't been as impressive two date as it was two years ago when he stole 60+ bags, but the batting average is where we were hoping it would be and 30+ steals and double digit homers would put him well beyond his ADP expected value.
|
|
211.
Ryon Healy
1B - SEA
It may not exactly be exciting to own and roster Healy, but he should hit 30 homers this season with 80 RBIs and the .240 batting average isn't low enough to justify leaving him on the waiver wire. If you need some power, don't hesitate to add him.
|
|
212.
Miguel Sano
1B,3B,DH - MIN
Sano clearly has substantial potential, but apparently he needed to refocus in the minor leagues. Based on what we've been seeing, you can expect him up in no time, at which point he will be a worthwhile flier.
|
|
213.
Blake Parker
RP - MIN
|
|
214.
Maikel Franco
3B - PHI
It seemed like it might never happen, but Franco's bat has finally woken up over the past month to a clip of batting .360 with an OPS over 1.000. It may not be here to stay, but if he is somehow available in your league, act now before it is too late.
|
|
215.
Steven Souza
RF - ARI
|
|
216.
Teoscar Hernandez
LF,RF - TOR
Teoscar is one of these old Astros' prospects who raked in the minors and never received enough attention. He can stick in the big leagues as a fringe fantasy outfielder in the mold of a Jackie Bradley.
|
|
217.
Andrew Miller
RP - STL
|
|
218.
Carlos Gonzalez
RF - FA
Don't be so quick to give up on Car-Go. Keep in mind that he was a top 50 pick in fantasy drafts last year for a reason. Plus, he heated up over the second-half last year to bat over .300. We ought to expect something similar from the Rockies' outfielder in 2018.
|
|
219.
Eduardo Rodriguez
SP - BOS
|
|
220.
Fernando Rodney
RP - OAK
|
|
221.
Jose Peraza
SS - CIN
You won't be jumping for joy if Peraza is on your fantasy team, but he is certainly doing his part with a 30 steals pace, solid .290 average and plenty of runs. Continue to start him with confidence the rest of the year.
|
|
222.
Vince Velasquez
SP - PHI
|
|
223.
Jay Bruce
1B,RF - SEA
This season, Bruce has seen his power entirely disappear. Without that, he offers virtually nothing in fantasy leagues because his batting average is a big negative.
|
|
224.
Jed Lowrie
2B,3B - NYM
Lowrie is not a star, nor are his numbers sustainable over a full year. It is possible, of course, that he is in fact much better than he has been in the past. If you can, sell him high while he is still mashing.
|
|
225.
Bud Norris
RP - FA
Greg Holland is back and pitching much better all of a sudden, but so long as Norris continues to excel as the Cardinals closer, there is no reason to expect them to give the job back to Holland.
|
|
226.
Jeimer Candelario
3B - DET
The underlying numbers indicate that Candelario has much more to offer than his subpar batting average. Add in the mediocre power he offers and you've got a waiver wire option if your usual third basemen goes to the DL or isn't doing the job well enough.
|
|
227.
Josh Reddick
LF,RF - HOU
|
|
228.
Tyler Skaggs
SP - LAA
You may be wondering if Skaggs is a fluke or due for regression. The answers are no and no. This is a former top 10 prospect with plenty of skill. He may never be a Cy Young contender, but we may be looking at a very good #2.
|
|
229.
Julio Teheran
SP - ATL
|
|
230.
Brad Brach
RP - CHC
|
|
231.
Zach Britton
RP - NYY
Britton is available in 50% of leagues right now. If this is your league, stop what you are doing and pick him up now. He is among the best DL stashes in fantasy baseball and will be back before you know it.
|
|
232.
Tyson Ross
SP - DET
Many were wondering when Ross started pitching well if it was a fluke with his inevitable demise on the way. It was a correct question, but Ross has answered it with a resounding "no". It seems as though we can trust him at this point.
|
|
233.
Evan Longoria
3B - SF
You may feel tempted to drop Longoria as he is having a rough go to begin his season and is obviously toward the end of his career, but he has been so good for so long that you've got to give him at least until Memorial Day.
|
|
234.
Brandon Crawford
SS - SF
Crawford was struggling for quite some time and even dropped in a number of leagues as a result, but he suddenly hit a hot streak and now sees a batting average over .290. While that may not stay for long, the power should begin to return as ballparks start heating up over the summer.
|
|
235.
Andrew Heaney
SP - LAA
|
|
236.
Carlos Rodon
SP - CWS
|
|
237.
Starlin Castro
2B - MIA
While the power isn't quite what we've seen in the past from Castro, his batting average is above .290 and the homers/RBIs could see a major uptick if the Marlins deal him to a team with a much better offensive ballpark than Miami.
|
|
238.
Kyle Gibson
SP - MIN
You may feel hesitant to believe in what Gibson has done this far, and who could blame you after a handful of mediocre years to start his career. All of the underlying numbers indicate that he production this far has been the real deal. He is a top 50 SP from this point on.
|
|
239.
Jackie Bradley
CF,RF - BOS
|
|
240.
Domingo Santana
RF - SEA
Santana has been among the most frusterating players to own thus far and has even been dropped in a bunch of leagues. If he is available in yours, don't hesitate to spend the number one waiver wire priority on him, as he is a near-lock to hit 25 HR with near 10 SB and a quality batting average.
|
|
241.
Jake Junis
SP - KC
|
|
242.
Hector Neris
RP - PHI
|
|
243.
Todd Frazier
3B - NYM
Frazier is expected to come off the DL within the next few weeks, but when he does, don't scramble to pick him up. Not only is the batting average a disaster, but his power has apparently disappeared off the face of the earth. Just wait and see with him at this point.
|
|
244.
Michael Taylor
CF - WSH
|
|
245.
Yangervis Solarte
2B,3B,SS - SF
Solarte may be a no-name player to you, but most hitters formerly from the Padres are until they make their way into a hitter's park like Toronto. The power is for real and here to stay so feel free to scoop him up if you need an infielder.
|
|
246.
Drew Pomeranz
SP - SF
|
|
247.
Mike Zunino
C - TB
Zunino is starting to heat up, and while the batting average is never going to be sufficient, the power will make up for it enough that he warrants being owned in 12 or 14 team leagues.
|
|
248.
Chris Devenski
RP - HOU
Devenski won't finish the season with 20 saves, but he should get more than a handful plus all of the help he offers in the ratio categories and strikeouts. He ought to be owned in every league.
|
|
249.
Kyle Barraclough
RP - WSH
Barraclough has not been the best reliever in baseball, but he may be the next in line to get a closers job. Ziegler is not pitching all that well and Barraclough may be the best reliever in the Marlins' pen.
|
|
250.
Addison Russell
SS - CHC
Addison Russell has not had a great offensive start to his season with just 1 homer and 1 steal through 40 games. Both of those numbers should rise, however, so don't be so quick to release him quite yet.
|
|
251.
Kevin Pillar
CF - TOR
|
|
252.
Joey Lucchesi
SP - SD
|
|
253.
Eduardo Nunez
2B,3B - BOS
|
|
254.
Mitch Moreland
1B - BOS
Moreland will never hit 40 homers or bat .300, but as it stands now, he may just be headed to the all-star game in July. The Red Sox' first basemen is a quality fantasy asset through and through so don't go selling high on him or panicking if he has a slump.
|
|
255.
Kevin Kiermaier
CF - TB
|
|
256.
Matt Davidson
1B,3B,DH - TEX
Davidson has cooled down, especially of late, but you shouldn't even be contimplating him as a drop option. He is still on pace for 45 homers and 100 RBIs. You can deal with a sub-par batting average with that type of power.
|
|
257.
Scott Kingery
3B,SS - PHI
Kingery has been downright dreadful after a nice start. At this point, it seems like only a matter of time before he is sent back to the minor leagues to figure out his issues. You can safely drop Kingery in standard leagues at this point.
|
|
258.
Dellin Betances
RP - NYY
|
|
259.
Josh Harrison
2B - DET
|
|
260.
Marwin Gonzalez
1B,2B,SS,LF - MIN
Marwin was a major surprise last season, but has been useless for fantasy teams this year despite his multi-position eligibility. Leave him on the waivers for now.
|
|
261.
Archie Bradley
RP - ARI
|
|
262.
Jason Kipnis
2B,CF,DH - CLE
Kipnis is worth owning when he is hot, and as it stands now, he is seeing the ball extremely well at the plate. Don't hesitate, however, to drop him as soon as he starts to fade again, because it seems to be inevitable.
|
|
263.
Scott Schebler
CF,RF - CIN

Randal Grichuk
CF,RF - TOR
Grichuk is batting under .100 and you might be disgusted with him as a result, but if you take one look at his batted ball data, you'll quickly realize that he is worth picking up right now because a resurgence is on the way any day now.
|
|
265.
Kole Calhoun
RF - LAA
|
|
266.
Jacob Faria
SP - TB
Faria is struggling with his command enough that his season-long ERA is now above 5.00. There will be some great starts mixed in between, but for now, he needs to be regarded as a streamer only until he straightens those issues out.
|
|
267.
Seranthony Dominguez
SP,RP - PHI
|
|
268.
Alex Colome
RP - CWS
Colome should straighten out his ratios a bit in the coming weeks and his job is safe, but there is still a possibility that the Rays trade him to be the setup man for some other team before long.
|
|
269.
Francisco Cervelli
C - PIT
|
|
270.
Kendrys Morales
1B,DH - TOR
Morales is nothing special in any one category, but he also won't kill you in batting average and has enough power to justify owning if you are desperate.
|
|
271.
Hunter Strickland
RP - SEA
Strickland has pitched well enough that he just might keep the job when Melancon comes back off the DL. Don't count on it, but hang onto him until he officially loses the closer role.
|
|
272.
Reynaldo Lopez
SP - CWS
Lopez has been unbelievable over the first quarter of the season. While he hasn't yet slowed down, all underlying factors indicate that we can expect some jumps north in the ratio department. With that said, he is without a doubt a quality pitcher and should not be cut if he begins to struggle for a stretch.
|

Joakim Soria
RP - OAK

Mark Melancon
RP - SF

|

Marco Gonzales
SP - SEA
|
|
276.
Dansby Swanson
SS - ATL
Swanson is a plenty talented player, but the offensive side of his game hasn't showed up quite yet so be careful to not add him based on name alone. He is only worth rostering in NL-only leagues or if you are deseperate.
|
|
|
277.
Freddy Peralta
SP - MIL
You saw Peralta's debut with 13 strikeouts, and while he was phenomenal in the minor leagues (160 Ks in 120 IP last season), there are some concerns as well. He could stand to improve his command a great deal. Think of him as a rookie year Jose Berrios. Loads of potential, but more than likely a disaster waiting to happen.
|
|
278.
Mallex Smith
LF,CF,RF - SEA
Mallex is a reliable source for batting average, runs and especially stolen bases so long as Keirmaier is out of the Rays' lineup. He stole as many as 80 bases in the minor leagues one season.
|
|
279.
Orlando Arcia
SS - MIL
|
|
280.
Ryan McMahon
1B,2B,3B - COL
McMahon has struggled in his few opportunities, but if he should finally get everyday chances, he would be a top 200 fantasy player. Right this moment, he is playing more terrible baseball in the minors, however, so it doesn't seem likely to happen this season.
|
|
281.
Chad Green
RP - NYY
Chad Green is right up there with the best relief pitchers in baseball. He doesn't offer anything in terms of saves, but needs to be owned and used in every league.
|
|

Steven Matz
SP - NYM
|

Lance Lynn

|
|
285.
David Dahl
LF,CF,RF - COL
Dahl is not playing against lefties, but versus righties, the Rockies have him batting in the middle of the order. I shouldn't need to tell you that this is extremely promising for a former top prospect who can contribute in all five categories. He needs to be owned in every league.
|

Aaron Sanchez
SP - TOR
|
|
287.
Hyun-Jin Ryu
SP - LAD
|
|
288.
A.J. Minter
RP - ATL
Vizcaino may only have one save to his name, but he has been quite good for the Braves thus far. Minter may have more upside, but until the job is lost, you can expect Minter to remain as a non-closer.
|
|

Welington Castillo
C - CWS
|
|

Jake Odorizzi
SP - MIN
|
|
292.
Brad Peacock
RP,SP - HOU
Don't be so quick to give up on Peacock, just because he isn't starting doesn't mean he isn't extremely useful. Relievers who pile up the Ks and help in both ratio categories while qualifying as a starting pitcher are a rare breed.
|
|
293.
Chris Davis
1B - BAL
Not only is Chris Davis having a dreadful season, but he is quite literally producing the single worst season in major league history. Do not even consider picking him up for a second.
|

Brian McCann

Hector Rondon
RP - HOU

297.
Jake Bauers
1B,LF - CLE
If you think Carlos Santana is worth owning, then you ought to scoop up Jake Bauers, who should be virtually the same type of fantasy player. The batting average isn't great, but he'll help in three other categories.
|
|
298.
Lewis Brinson
CF - MIA
|
|
299.
Matt Adams
1B,LF - WSH
Matt Adams is tearing the cover off again, but don't think for one second that we haven't seen this act multiple times before. Adams has proven to be one of the streakiest hitters in baseball. If you have him, sell him now before his fantasy stock inevitably comes crashing back down to earth.
|
|
300.
Willie Calhoun
LF - TEX
Calhoun was expected by many to begin the season in the big leagues, but that wasn't in the cards. With how he has been playing in the minors, it may not be until the all-star break when we finally get to see him in Arlington.
|
|
301.
Sergio Romo
SP,RP - MIA
|
|
302.
Jedd Gyorko
2B,3B - STL
Jedd Gyorko was passed up by Jose Martinez in Spring Training, but that doesn't mean he is out for the count. Rather, he is getting plenty of at-bats all over the infield and just might take over full-time at 2nd base if Kolten Wong continues to struggle.

Greg Holland
RP - ARI
Even if Greg Holland begins pitching well again at some point, there is no expecation that Bud Norris is going to just hand over the closer job. Think of Holland as a long shot at getting double-digit saves this season.

Lucas Giolito

Nate Jones

Albert Almora
CF - CHC
Almora likely won't play every day, but if he continues hitting at the current clip, Maddon will have to find a way to get him in the lineup. If he becomes a full-time starter, Almora would need to be owned everywhere.
|
|
314.
Robinson Chirinos
C - HOU
|
|
315.
Austin Meadows
LF,CF,RF - TB
|
|
316.
Jorge Polanco
SS - MIN
Polanco is done with his suspension and while he hasn't gotten the power going quite yet, it will come in time and he needs to be owned in every league. He is a five-tool contributor and was brilliant over the second half last year.

Nick Williams
LF,RF - PHI
Williams is finally playing everyday but the results have not been what fantasy owners hoped for. Still, he is one to keep an eye on as he can provide production in four categories once he heats up.

Carlos Gomez

Jonathan Lucroy
C - LAA
Lucroy might not have power or the RBIs and runs that come with it, but he won't kill you in batting average and you can't say that about the garbage that is sitting out there on waiver wires at the position.
|
|
335.
Lucas Duda
1B,DH - FA
|
|
336.
Tyler Glasnow
SP,RP - TB
Glasnow has had a few implosions, but he still needs to be owned if you've got fairly deep bench. His upside is through the roof and let's not forget that he was the best pitcher in the minors last season. It may only be a matter of time until he rejoins the Pirates rotation where he could take off.
|

Mike Minor

Adam Ottavino
RP - NYY
Ottavino has been a dominator thus far, but let's try not to get too excited about a non-closer in Coors Field. The strikeouts might stick around, but those ratios are about to take a beating one of these days.

Neil Walker
1B,2B,3B - MIA
With Gleyber Torres now up in the majors for the Yankees, Walker has minimal fantasy appeal. Torres can play shortstop and third base as well, but with the way Didi and Andujar are hitting, Walker is the odd man out.
|

Hanley Ramirez

Hanley is killing the baseball right now and while that may last while he is on the field, it seems to be only a matter of time before he suffers another injury setback. He is among the top sell-high candidates right now.

Tom Murphy
C - COL
Murphy was just called up by the Rockies after dominating Triple-A. It seems as though he is going to be the full-time starter, and with a bat like his in Coors, that could give fantasy owners a top-five offensive catcher. Add him now before it is too late.

Kyle Tucker
LF - HOU
If Tucker were playing every day, he would be a top 35 fantasy outfielder for the rest of the season, as he should contribute right away in all five categories. The Astros are easing him into things, however, so while he is certainly worth owning, it may be more of a waiting game for now.
|
|
401.
Derek Dietrich

Dietrich surely is not the most sexy fantasy player to own, but he will always help in batting average and stolen bases while he has actually improved the power enough to contribute there as well.

It is only a matter of time before young Vlad is called up. He may be just a baby, but should contribute in all five categories immediately so don't hesitate to own him now and wait it out if you've got a bench spot available to wait for his debut.

Ben Zobrist
2B,LF,RF - CHC
Despite his advanced age, Zobrist is still playing almost everyday and remains competent in fantasy baseball. He still won't provide much of anything in terms of homers or steals, but the batting average, runs and RBIs are enough to warrant a roster spot.

Robles is on the DL for now, but when he returns, you'd have to think he will get a quick call-up to the MLB level to replace Adam Eaton. Robles may not have the upside of Ronald Acuna, but he is every bit as polished and capable of producing in all five categories.
|
|
459.
Aledmys Diaz
3B,SS - HOU
Diaz is by no means a safe bet considering how lousy his numbers were last season. With that being said, he offers power and batting average upside that is uncommon for middle infielders making him worth monitoring as a potential pickup.
