Jo Adell

Jo Adell is expected to begin the 2021 campaign in the minors as "he needs more time" to develop, per Angels manager Joe Madden. The Angels recently acquired OF Dexter Fowler and the veteran is expected to start alongside Mike Trout and Justin Upton, making Adell the odd man out. Adell struggled in the majors last season, slashing .161/.212/.266 across 132 plate appearances. He looked overmatched against major league pitching, but has all the tools to develop into a fantasy superstar. The 21-year-old will continue his development and is a boom-bust option in re-draft formats.

Jo Adell 'needs more time in the minors' according to Maddon

Angels manager Joe Maddon says OF Jo Adell "needs more time in the minor leagues, no question."

Fantasy Impact

Adell's first taste of big league action didn't go as planned in 2020. The 21-year-old hit just .161 with three homers and a .478 OPS in 38 games. He appeared wildly overmatched at times, but it's important to remember how much the pandemic affected minor league players and rookies this season. Adell's future is still bright and fantasy players in dynasty leagues might want to try and buy low on him this offseason.
