+3.0 |
You can take out any of Trout's five full seasons and line them up with any all-time great's standard season and wouldn't notice much of a difference. He is well on his way to being one of the greatest players ever and there is no excuse to pass on him at 1.1. |

Mookie Betts (BOS - RF) | 2 |

5.0 |
+3.0 |
Mookie has seen steady offensive progression each season in the bigs. Last year, it took him to 31 homers and 26 stolen bases with a near .320 BA and a load of both RBIs and runs. If he can repeat that, we may very well be looking at the best fantasy player. If he continues to grow, well then, wow! |

Bryce Harper (WSH - RF) | 8 |

4.0 |
0.6 |
26.0 |
+18.0 |
We know that Harper has the potential to bat .330 with 42 bombs and 21 stolen bases because he has done it all before. Those kind of stats would carry you to a fantasy title. The matter of the fact is, if he can stay healthy, those numbers could swell even further. |

Kris Bryant (CHC - 1B,3B,LF,RF) | 6 |

+3.0 |
Last season's NL MVP is still just 25 years old and has more potential to grow into. While he hit 39 homers last year, that number could, and many would argue should, become 45 to 50 this season. Toss in the best lineup in baseball and he might just drive in 130 runs all while batting .290 or higher again. |
| 5 |
Charlie Blackmon (COL - CF) | 13 |

-7.0 |
When Blackmon broke out for 19 homers and 28 SB two years ago, people weren't sure he could repeat, then he went for 17 and 43 the following year. At that point, it seemed like he had reached his ceiling, but then he knocked 29 homers while batting .324 last season. Don't rule out even further development this season. |
| 6 |
Starling Marte (PIT - LF,CF) | 20 |

8.2 |

86.0 |
+66.0 |
Marte finished second in steals among all MLB players with 47 last season, up 17 from the previous year, and this in 24 fewer games. If he can stay on the field, we might just see 60 swipes this time around and hopefully his power can just back up to the 19 homers he knocked in 2015. |

Trea Turner (WSH - 2B,SS,CF) | 21 |

2.7 |
70.0 |
+49.0 |
From the time Turner was called up last year, he was the best fantasy baseball player in the world thanks to a .342 BA, 33 SB and 13 HRs in just 69 starts. With that said, his minor league stats in the same at bats were vastly worse so if you aren't expecting significant regression, you aren't playing close enough attention. |
| 8 |
Nelson Cruz (SEA - RF,DH) | 25 |
5 |
16 |
9.1 |
2.1 |
18.0 |
-7.0 |
Three straight years with 40 or more homers to go along with a useful batting average each season would typically warrant a lofty draft pick, but seeing that Cruz is now 36 years old, there is some negative regression anticipated. Don't hesitate to cash in on the hesitation of others. |
| 9 |
Ryan Braun (MIL - LF) | 29 |

22 |
10.2 |
3.1 |
32.0 |
+3.0 |
When Ryan Braun was winning MVPs, he was a clear cut high first-round pick. Now that the PED scandal hit, his prestige has dissipated, but the numbers are quite nearly the same, minus about 10 stolen bases. Getting a value like this in the 3rd round is a rare opportunity. |
| 10 |
George Springer (HOU - CF,RF) | 30 |

10.3 |
3.1 |
19.0 |
-11.0 |
Although Springer has been around for just three years, he is already 27 years old so he may have already arrived at his ceiling. With that being said, near 30 homers with 10 stolen bases is a very fine player, and when you add in his durability, he seems like a safe bet to produce for your fantasy team. |
| 11 |
A.J. Pollock (ARI - CF) | 33 |

12.1 |
5.9 |
33.0 |
‐ |
We only got a 41 at bat sample size while A.J. was working back from his elbow injury, and that limited sample size wasn't pretty, but if he can even return to 80% of his 20/39 season in 2015 with a .315 batting average, then we would still be looking at an excellent 3rd round value. |
| 12 |
Giancarlo Stanton (MIA - RF) | 34 |

12.3 |
4.1 |
14.0 |
-20.0 |
We have known all along that Stanton has the potential to hit 40+ or perhaps even 50 homers but he hasn't been able to stay on the field long enough to make it happen. Last season, his batting average took a big hit all the way down to .240 but should bump back up this year. |
| 13 |
Carlos Gonzalez (COL - RF) | 35 |

25 |
13.3 |
3.4 |
91.0 |
+56.0 |
There were always two concerns with Car-Go: durability and the risk of being traded away from Coors. Seeing that he put the durability issue to rest the past two seasons and that the Rockies are actually contenders, he should be drafted with confidence. |

Christian Yelich (MIA - LF,CF) | 45 |
7 |
27 |
16.6 |
4.0 |
54.0 |
+9.0 |
The power came out of no-where last season for the 24-year-old who took his career high from 9 to 21. While that might not be repeatable, he seems like a surefire batting average source and could see a bounce-back in stolen bases to around 15. |

Andrew McCutchen (PIT - CF,RF) | 51 |
11 |
29 |
17.7 |
3.6 |
43.0 |
-8.0 |
McCutchen was considered the safest first-round pick this time last year. He proceeded to disappoint, naturally, but is a picture-perfect bounce-back candidate seeing that he managed to right the ship in the second half and suffered from unlucky underlying metrics. |
| 16 |
Gregory Polanco (PIT - LF,RF,CF) | 49 |

17.9 |
5.2 |
106.0 |
+57.0 |
Polanco had the breakout we had been waiting for, moving from 9 to 22 homers with a big jump in RBIs, but he appears to be on the decline for stolen bases and unlikely to ever bat over .270. Perhaps, however, there is still more untapped potential. |
| 17 |
Justin Upton (LAA - LF,CF) | 56 |
10 |
38 |
20.0 |
4.7 |
57.0 |
+1.0 |
There has never been a question about Upton's upside, but time is starting to run out for him to realize it. What a lot of people don't realize is that Upton took that step in the second-half last season and might be able to continue that momentum into a breakout season in 2017. |

Mark Trumbo (BAL - RF,DH) | 61 |

6.1 |
85.0 |
+24.0 |
Like most Orioles' hitters, Trumbo saw a major uptick in homers upon his arrival to the hitter's haven. 47 was by far a career high so you might think regression is due, but he is the prime age for power hitters and in a tremendous ballpark so think again. |

Khris Davis (OAK - LF,DH) | 69 |

23.2 |

47.0 |
-22.0 |
The A's masher posted near identical ratio numbers between 2015 and 2016. The only difference, was that he played an extra 30 games, resulting in 15 more homers. If he can stay on the field again, you should expect another 35+ bombs. |
| 20 |
Kyle Schwarber (CHC - C,LF,DH) | 71 |

83 |
23.8 |
10.7 |
148.0 |
+77.0 |
There is no catcher in baseball who can tear the cover off the ball like Schwarber (sorry Gattis), but does he have a position? The Cubs don't get a DH so they will have to sneak the beastly hitter in at LF or C where he will significantly hurt the team defense. If he gets over 400 at bats, however, he could knock 30 homers. |
| 21 |
Adam Jones (BAL - CF) | 72 |
14 |
35 |
23.8 |
4.1 |
76.0 |

Jones doesn't steal bases anymore, but last season was the sixth straight time he knocked over 25 homers. He has been very durable and can be trusted see a bounce-back in batting average this season. |
| 22 |
Matt Kemp (ATL - LF,RF,DH) | 73 |
14 |
37 |
24.2 |
3.9 |
74.0 |
+1.0 |
Long gone are the days where Kemp was a near 40/40 player who batted over .320, but after being traded the Atlanta last season, he bounced back to being a slugger. If he can continue that momentum, he might sneak back towards 40 homers for the first time in his career this season. |
| 23 |
J.D. Martinez (ARI - RF) | 76 |
9 |
58 |
25.2 |
11.5 |
28.0 |
-48.0 |
Martinez will begin the season on the DL for 3 or 4 weeks, but over the past three seasons, Martinez is batting .299 and averaging 33 homers per 162 games played. Seeing that he is still in the prime years of a hitter's career, we should expect the same out of him, it is only a matter of whether or not he can stay healthy this year. |
| 24 |
Jose Bautista (TOR - RF,3B,DH) | 81 |
10 |
54 |
26.4 |
7.9 |
110.0 |
+29.0 |
It may seem as though Bautista took a significant step backwards last season, but the primary difference were playing time and BABIP driven luck. If he can stay on the field this year, we might see a return to 40 homers and a .250 BA. |
| 25 |
Billy Hamilton (CIN - CF) | 84 |
11 |
66 |
28.0 |
9.6 |
58.0 |
-26.0 |
It may seem absurd to take a guy in the top 60 who may lose his job by the end of the year, but you could also argue that it is equally absurd a player could have a chance at 90 steals in this day and isn't being taken within the top 40 picks. |
| 26 |
Wil Myers (SD - 1B,RF) | 47 |

17.1 |
6.6 |
66.0 |
+19.0 |
Myers came out and said that his goal it to hit 40 bombs and swipe 40 bags this season. If he does that, he would be well worth a 1st round pick even if he continues his low batting average. It actually isn't as crazy as it sounds since his first half last season saw him on track to hit 35 homers with 29 stolen bases and a .286 BA. |
| 27 |
Odubel Herrera (PHI - CF) | 92 |
18 |
42 |
31.2 |
5.7 |
124.0 |
+32.0 |
Herrera became an impressive fantasy asset last season with 15 homers and 25 stolen bases to go with a .286 batting average. With that being said, nothing in his past suggested that type of production so don't be surprised to see him come crashing back down to earth this year. |
| 28 |
Ian Desmond (COL - 1B,LF,CF) | 95 |
9 |
59 |
31.6 |
10.3 |
133.0 |
+38.0 |
Yes, Desmond is a 20/20 guy moving into Coors Field, but his BA was BABIP driven last season and he is on the wrong side of 30 years old so he shouldn't be considered a sure-bet to take a step forward or even repeat his 2016 campaign, especially since his second-half was so lousy. |
| 29 |
Lorenzo Cain (KC - CF,RF) | 97 |
18 |
49 |
32.2 |
5.9 |
81.0 |
-16.0 |
Last season, Cain took a 20 point drop to his batting average thanks to an increased k-rate, but his season was also injury riddled so perhaps a fresh Cain can return to 15 homers, 25 stolen bases and a .300 batting average once again this year. |

Jackie Bradley (BOS - CF) | 104 |

8.7 |
137.0 |
+33.0 |
Apparently JBJ had a huge breakout year last season. You wouldn't know it if you looked at his year to year numbers from 2015 to 2016. Sure, he had that hot streak, but the only real difference was playing time. He has always been this player so expect more of the same. |
| 31 |
Stephen Piscotty (STL - CF,RF) | 108 |
25 |
60 |
35.1 |
7.0 |
164.0 |
+56.0 |
Piscotty has done nothing but hit since he got to the big leagues, and even before then. There is no reason to imagine he will slow down, but he is the rare third-year player who has likely already reached his ceiling so don't draft him expecting improvement from last season. |
| 32 |
Andrew Benintendi (BOS - LF,CF) | 112 |
21 |
78 |
36.0 |
9.6 |
68.0 |
-44.0 |
Benintendi is already a very fine MLB player, but that doesn't always translate well to fantasy baseball. Eventually, he should be a .290 hitter with 20 homers and 15 stolen bases, but this season, expect loads of doubles and walks, which should lead to plenty of runs, but doesn't warrant a 12th round pick. |
| 33 |
Jose Ramirez (CLE - 2B,3B,LF) | 115 |
21 |
85 |
38.3 |
14.7 |
35.0 |
-80.0 |
Jose Ramirez surprised a lot of people last season, and many expected regression at some point, but he just kept producing. His exit velos suggest it will stay in place but past production tells another story. |
| 34 |
Miguel Sano (MIN - 1B,3B,RF,DH) | 119 |
22 |
74 |
39.1 |
10.3 |
53.0 |
-66.0 |
You might be tempted to look at Sano's stats as a 23-year-old and imagine he has hit his ceiling, but he might just add 20 homers to last year's stat-line if he can stay on the field. Also, the average is due for positive regression based on underlying data so draft him with confidence. |
| 35 |
David Dahl (COL - LF,CF) MiLB | 120 |
21 |
74 |
39.7 |
12.1 |
269.0 |
+149.0 |
No, you shouldn't expect Dahl to bat .315 in the majors again this season, but .280 seems like a safe bet. Add in 15-20 homers and 15 stolen bases and you have a nice asset. The only issue is that playing time isn't yet guaranteed for the sophomore in a loaded lineup. |

Kole Calhoun (LAA - RF) | 131 |
27 |
57 |
40.9 |
6.9 |
159.0 |
+28.0 |
There is nothing exciting fantasy wise about Anaheim's right fielder, but he is consistent, durable and ranked much higher by the expert consensus than his ADP. If you need a 4th outfielder, he could do the trick. |
| 37 |
Adam Duvall (CIN - LF,RF) | 129 |
23 |
62 |
41.1 |
7.8 |
108.0 |
-21.0 |
Duvall has always been a masher, but finally got his opportunity last season as a 27 year old when he knocked 33 homers and 103 RBIs. With that said, his .241 BA hurt some fantasy owners and could be prone to dipping even lower this season. |
| 38 |
Dexter Fowler (STL - CF) | 136 |
25 |
63 |
43.2 |
7.6 |
142.0 |
+6.0 |
Fowler has shown that he is unlikely to ever hit 20 homers or bat .280, but he does steal some bags and is good for a bunch of runs considering how often he gets on base. He is reliable, if nothing else. |
| 39 |
Marcell Ozuna (MIA - LF,CF,RF) | 142 |
34 |
70 |
43.9 |
6.3 |
55.0 |
-87.0 |
Ozuna has had flashes of brilliance in his young career, but hasn't been able to sustain it for a full season. Unless he can change that, Ozuna is being over-drafted as a .260 hitters with 20 homers, but the potential is riveting. |

Hunter Pence (SF - RF) | 145 |

44.3 |
8.1 |

+38.0 |
While Hunter Pence was as efficient as ever last season, he missed a big chunk of time for the second season in a row. If he can stay on the field, expect another 20 homers with a .280 batting average, but it is a big if. |
| 41 |
Willson Contreras (CHC - C,LF,1B) | 122 |
23 |
73 |
40.5 |
12.9 |
132.0 |
+10.0 |
After batting over .350 with loads of power in the minors last season, we got to see the another young Cubs' slugger first hand. His bat is unquestionably good, the only concern is whether his glove and durability will allow him to ascend towards the top of the fantasy catcher ratings this season. |
| 42 |
Joc Pederson (LAD - CF) | 150 |
26 |
65 |
46.1 |
8.8 |
215.0 |
+65.0 |
Joc raised his batting average 35 points last season and hit more extra base hits despite 70 less at bats. Perhaps this season he will be able to remain healthy and hit 35 homers with 90+ RBIs. |
| 43 |
Ben Zobrist (CHC - 2B,LF,RF,1B,SS) | 149 |
20 |
78 |
46.3 |
12.1 |
238.0 |
+89.0 |
While Zobrist has been durable during his career, he has never been one to help much in homers and no long steals bases. His on-base percentage will lead to plenty of runs, but his batting average isn't anything special either so his ADP is too high in the 150s. |
| 44 |
Carlos Gomez (TEX - LF,CF,RF) | 154 |
24 |
87 |
49.3 |
12.9 |
174.0 |
+20.0 |
A few seasons ago, Gomez was a .280 hitter with 20+ homers and 30+ steals, but he has struggled quite a bit the previous two seasons. The end of 2016 was a bright spot, however, as he posted a .905 OPS after being traded to Texas. |
| 45 |
Jose Peraza (CIN - 2B,SS,LF,CF) | 148 |
21 |
73 |
46.0 |
12.2 |
240.0 |
+92.0 |
Now that Brandon Phillips is out of the picture in Cincy, Peraza should see full playing time. He isn't going to hit any homers, but he just might steal 50 bases and bat .280. To be able to get a player like that in the middle of your draft is pure gold. |
| 46 |
Byron Buxton (MIN - CF) | 156 |
22 |
76 |
49.5 |
11.6 |
231.0 |
+75.0 |
One of the most polarizing players in the draft is Buxton, who was a former top overall prospect. He could swat 20 homers and steal 60 bags this season, or he could lose his job and be sent back down to the minors for more development. The former is more likely, seeing that he was excellent to close the 2016 season. |
| 47 |
Keon Broxton (MIL - CF) | 164 |
11 |
75 |
50.1 |
12.6 |
239.0 |
+75.0 |
Broxton's 9 homers and 23 stolen bases in just 75 big league games last season. If he can maintain that rate of production, we might be talking about a 20/45 type of outfielder, but he was never all that impressive in the minors so it seems like a longshot. |
| 48 |
Michael Brantley (CLE - LF) | 159 |
31 |
79 |
50.5 |
11.7 |
107.0 |
-52.0 |
If Brantley can stay on the field, he might just end up back in the MVP conversation. The problem is, his shoulder injury has derailed many careers so he is a significant risk, albeit a high-upside one. |
| 49 |
Kendrys Morales (TOR - 1B,RF,DH) | 118 |
24 |
58 |
39.1 |
8.8 |
149.0 |
+31.0 |
While Morales is 34 years old now, and hasn't been a consistent third tier first basemen, he was easily in that tier each of the last two seasons with 52 homers and 199 RBIs. Seeing that he is moving from KC to the hitter's haven in Toronto, it wouldn't be surprising if he hits for even more power without hurting your batting average. |
| 50 |
Nomar Mazara (TEX - LF,RF,DH) | 167 |

51.7 |

139.0 |
-28.0 |
Mazara exploded onto the scene last year despite being one of the youngest rookies in the league. He cooled off due to the strenuous 162 game season, but has all the upside in the world to bat .280 with 35 homers some day. |
| 51 |
Jay Bruce (CLE - 1B,RF) | 174 |
33 |
88 |
53.7 |
9.5 |
123.0 |
-51.0 |
Since joining the league in 2008, Jay Bruce has hit between 18 and 33 homers every season. He is as durable as they come and is likely to knock near 30 homers with about 100 RBIs so if you need power late, look his way. |
| 52 |

36 |
75 |
53.5 |
8.4 |
263.0 |
+90.0 |
Just two seasons ago, Grichuk was top 5 in isolated power, and continues to have extremely high exit velocities which indicate a big surge in power numbers could be on the way this season if he can avoid that prolonged slump he was met with last year. |

Carlos Beltran (HOU - LF,RF,DH) | 176 |
35 |
107 |
54.6 |
10.6 |
221.0 |
+45.0 |
In 2014, it seemed as though Beltran's career was practically over, but he revived his career by spending plenty of time at DH and batting over .285 with 48 homers the previous two seasons. Despite him being 40 years old, you can expect more of the same this year. |
| 54 |
Kevin Kiermaier (TB - CF) | 190 |
31 |
93 |
58.0 |
12.7 |
309.0 |
+119.0 |
Keirmaier has never been anything other than a glove who can get about 20 stolen bases. He is being overdrafted because of the defense so unless he falls, it would be wise to avoid him. |

Ender Inciarte (ATL - LF,CF) | 187 |
36 |
82 |
57.4 |
9.2 |
169.0 |
-18.0 |
If you need stolen bases and batting average towards the end of your draft, Ender is exactly what you are looking for. His .291 career BA is no fluke, nor are the 56 stolen bases in less than 400 career games. he is a solid bet to repeat both. |

Eric Thames (MIL - 1B,LF,RF) | 195 |
25 |
92 |
58.1 |
14.5 |
99.0 |
-96.0 |
Eric Thames never did much in his stint in the majors. Since he moved to Asia, he has become a dominant power hitter, far more so than Jung Ho Kang, who has more than carried his own since coming to America so make of that what you will. |

Melky Cabrera (KC - LF,RF,DH) | 203 |
39 |

60.1 |
9.4 |
219.0 |
+16.0 |
Need batting average late? Look no further than Melky, who is still just 32, believe it or not, and has a BA well over .300 the past six seasons. He should knock double-digit homers as well and score his fair share of runs. |
| 58 |
Curtis Granderson (LAD - LF,CF,RF) | 201 |
44 |
85 |
60.1 |
7.8 |
255.0 |
+54.0 |
He could single handedly drop you a few points in the BA category, but he is a sure bet to knock 25 homers and score near 90 runs. It is up to you to determine whether your team can afford the batting average blow, and if they can, the help in the other categories will be quite useful. |

Yasiel Puig (LAD - RF) | 202 |

60.6 |
10.8 |
179.0 |
-23.0 |
Puig displayed potential MVP upside in his first wo seasons then has dealt with injuries and struggled to maintain consistency. If he can stay healthy and grow up a little, he may bop 25 homers with 15 stolen bases and a BA near .300. |

Need steals late? The 36-year-old World Series hero led the league with 43 of them last season. Granted, his BA was crummy and he doesn't have power, but it is tough to turn away a steals champion. |

Hunter Renfroe (SD - RF) | 206 |

267.0 |
+61.0 |
It is a real shame that the early years of his career will be wasted in such a pitcher-friendly ballpark. Even so, his bat will play for fantasy. It all depends on when he is called up. His .306 BA with 30 HR and 105 RBI in 133 games last season suggests it should be soon. |
| 62 |

213.0 |
+3.0 |
While Holliday's power came back to 20 homers in less than 400 at bats, it has to be noted that he has missed 140 games over the past two years and has been seeing his batting average steadily dip. If he can stay on the field, he will help fantasy teams, but that's a big if. |
| 63 |
Jacoby Ellsbury (NYY - CF,DH) | 209 |
41 |
89 |
64.6 |
8.8 |
277.0 |
+68.0 |
Jacoby isn't going to hit double-digit homers and he won't steal 40 bases anymore, but 20 should be expected and a solid batting average to boot. Getting those two categories at the end of drafts is difficult to come by. |
| 64 |
David Peralta (ARI - LF,RF) | 215 |
47 |

9.1 |
206.0 |
-9.0 |
Just last season, Peralta was being touted as one of the most underrated hitters in baseball. He struggled before an injury derailed his 2016 season, but has the potential to hit 20 homers with a .300 batting average so if you are willing to take a risk, he comes with a nice upside. |
| 65 |
Max Kepler (MIN - CF,RF) | 217 |

Kepler surged onto the scene last season, but cooled off towards the end. He could eventually sustain his big month for a full-season, but is still so new to baseball that it shouldn't be expected in 2017. |

Domingo Santana (MIL - RF) | 220 |
38 |
90 |
68.1 |
10.6 |
161.0 |

Santana has been a masher throughout the minor leagues and posted super exit velos last season which indicates some positive regression in the power numbers. Likewise, his batting average should jump to near .270. |

-143.0 |
Dickerson saw a 60 point drop in his batting average, which even for Coors to Tampa is so much that positive regression appears in store. The power stuck, however, and you can expect another 20 plus bombs in 2017 from the 28-yer-old outfielder. |
| 69 |
Jason Heyward (CHC - CF,RF) | 227 |
39 |
88 |
69.9 |
10.6 |
258.0 |
+31.0 |
We know the big outfielder has the upside to knock 27 homers like he did as a 22 year-old, and bat .293 like he did in 2015 with 23 steals, but last season was so terrible that it might be best to avoid him all-together. |
| 70 |
Shin-Soo Choo (TEX - RF,DH) | 234 |
44 |
93 |

+2.0 |
Choo missed most of last season, but has always been a high batting average, high runs producer. Sure, he is getting up there in age and can't be counted on to stay healthy, but if he is healthy, you can bet he will be worth more than a late round pick. |

There may be no player more overlooked than Leonys Martin this season. Sure, his batting average hurt a bit, but that should see positive regression. His 20 steals and 15 homeruns are repeatable as well. |

+96.0 |
The former top 5 prospect should finally see full time at bats for the Royals this season. This is an outfielder who posted a .700 slugging percentage in the minors and could surpass 35 homers some day. His batting average won't kill anyone either so the risk appears worth the price. |

The Mariners' rookie was acquired with Jean Segura in the Taijuan Walker deal after dominating Triple-A last season. He has carried that over into Spring Training and is zooming up draft boards. Don't hesitate to grab him late in your drafts. |
| 77 |
Manuel Margot (SD - CF) | 257 |
35 |

77.6 |
10.6 |
288.0 |
+31.0 |
Margot is an exciting fantasy prospect who could steal 20 bags this season in the second-half alone. With that being said, the rest of his game needs maturing so unless he wins a job out of camp, it is better off using this roster spot for someone who will contribute right away. |
| 78 |
Josh Bell (PIT - 1B,RF) | 251 |

12.1 |
224.0 |
-27.0 |
Bell wasn't excellent in his debut last year but he sure was in the minors with a .295/.382/.468. He should get another crack this year in Pittsburgh and while that ballpark isn't conducive to power, he should still be able to help fantasy teams in every category except stolen bases. |

Naquin began his career hotter than any player in MLB history and that's not an exaggeration. He was never a highly regarded prospect so there is plenty of reasonable skepticism, especially after he finished the year slow, but there seems to be upside that is worthy of a late round pick. |

This former top 5 prospect still has loads of untapped potential seeing that he is still just 23 years old. While he wasn't exactly a good fantasy player last season in his limited time, he showcased who he could be in Triple-A when he was able to play every day and that is a middle infielder with a .280+ BA, 15 homers and 15 steals. I'd take that in the last round of my draft. |

Just last season, Wong was being selected well within the top 100 for his potential to swat 20 homers and steal 15 bags. That potential hasn't disappeared, but he did have a rough season. With that said, his rough season shouldn't plummet him 200 spots in the draft so if you need a middle infielder late, consider his upside. |
