An excellent September call-up performance (2.18 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 20% K-BB in 33 IP) put him on the fantasy map and if he grabs hold of a starting role in the spring, theres no reason he cant hold it all year after throwing 143 total innings last season. Thats a lot of outs, and a waste of his speed. Now theyre saying hes still a regular, possibly the center fielder? $8 right now, subject to revision either way. Tyrone Taylor and Garrett Mitchell are hardly immovable objects. Id rather hate him less.

Alex Verdugo, BOS Career .680 OPS vs. lefties is not a disgrace but neither is it a reason to play him. An explosion is possible but not bettable this year more likely is slight improvement to the .260/.335/.400 range, with just a few SBs.

He has a bead on a full-time role out of camp and playing half his games in Cincinnati (aka Coors Jr.) instantly makes him fantasy relevant. Brandon Nimmo, NYM Deep slump after hurting his wrist in June, which lasted into August, but he finished strong, so no worries. Reserve B, maybe.

Spring watch, for sure, but right now Reserve A. Oscar Colas, CHW Age 24, from Cuba via Japan, and also pitched in Cuba but not lately.

He has won both LABR and Tout Wars and has evolved over the years to also analyze DFS games. $30, two less in OBP leagues.
