Outside of rostering Judge, Harper, Trout, and Cano, there are plenty of cheaper, under the radar options that have been maintaining consistency. Here are a few standouts. Chris Owings: Owings is truly a jack of all trades. Wherever the DBacks need him, he is there, whether he plays outfield, shortstop or second base, although his primary role is shortstop. Drafted by the Diamondbacks in 2009 out of high school. He made his major league debut in Sept of 2013. He spent sometime prowling around the Diamondbacks system but it looks like he is here to stay. In 28 games, Owings is batting .311 with 21 RBI's and 5 HR. His salary has gone up in both DK and Fanduel, he is currently sitting at $4200. Scoring in double-digit fantasy points most nights, he is well worth the roster spot. Aaron Altherr: The 26-year-old outfielder for the Phillies is fantasy gold. An injury to Kendrick …show more content…
Cesar is batting .336 through 27 games in 2017. He has 10 RBI and 4 HR's and very much like Altherr, Hernandez has the clutch gene. Cesar sits at $2900 on Fanduel and $3400 on DK, the similarities between he and Altherr keep coming. Through the 2017 season, Hernandez has not put up one goose egg in the point column in fantasy. Roster him if you know what is good for you. Marwin Gonzalez: The switch-hitting 1st baseman for the Astros has been the teams hottest hitter. The multi-talented athlete has played at every position for the Astros except pitcher and catcher. To say he is valuable to the Astros would be an understatement. In 24 games, Gonzalez is batting .266, with 21 RBI's and 9 HR's. Many critics are wondering if he can possibly stay this hot for the remainder of the season, but why not ride out the hot streak while you can. Marwin is only $3000 on Fanduel and $3300 on DK. The 1st base position has a lot of talent, but while his price is so low, he is worth the roster
Rusin has an average pitch count of 87 per game along with an earned run average of 6.00 season to date, which is obviously ugly. He also carries a high walks and hits per inning pitched on his shoulders with a stat of 1.79 season to date. Rusin comes into this game with a 1-4 record, he has not won since April 13th
As baseball season right around the corner some teams are in need of offence and defense. People say the best way person to full these jobs is Troy Tulowitzki. Experts call him the best shortstop of our time. But is he really? What is he worth? Should you trade for him?
The Orioles crush the ball when they make contact. Through 76 games, according to data via ESPN Stats and Information, they average a .361/.358/.628 line and a .427 wOBA when they put the ball into play, easily the best in the majors. Out of 169 qualified batters, while the Rockies have the top two players on the list (Story and CarGo), Chris Davis ranks third, Mark Trumbo ranks seventh and Manny ranks eighth. It’s fair to say that these three hitters are the heart of the Orioles’ offense. Then, while Wieters, Jones and Alvarez are all having strong years, it is arguable that Schoop has been the fourth best offensive piece.
Clayton Kershaw has been sidelined for the entirety of the second half of the regular season and is finally making a return. The Los Angeles Dodgers has announced today that Clayton Kershaw will make his first start of the second half this Friday against the Marlins in Miami. Kershaw started out this season looking better than we have ever seen him before, and that is saying a lot. Before Kershaw was injured his record was 11 – 2, with a 1.79 ERA, and a 16.1 – 1 strikeout to walk ratio. If Kershaw had not been injured and continued at the pace he was at, he would have been the clear NL Cy Young Award winner and NL MVP Award winner. Kershaw’s return is highly anticipated especially by the Dodgers because if they have him back at the level he was playing at, that means they will be going into the playoffs as one of the best teams.
After a good amount of pitching from him he suffered an injury. His Pitching was over because the way he pitched screwed up his arm in a way that couldn’t allow him to pitch. Instead of quitting he worked his arm into letting him play centerfield. He was a fast outfielder and a great player to read the ball and be there for it. His effort for not giving up was a huge significance of his career.
Bryce Harper is the player that you love to have on your own team, but opponents can't stand him! He might have a swagger that annoys opponents, but he is one heck of a baseball player and this year he is breaking out to the superstar everyone expected! He is just 22 years of age and he is one of the most feared hitters in baseball. He has battled injuries to start his career because of what some have termed too much hustle, but this year he has put all together. He is hitting .331 27 home runs and 64 runs batted in the no question NL MVP at this point in the season. He might rub fans and opponents the wrong way but he is fun to watch play baseball I just wish as a Braves fan he was in a different division.
The first base for the Los angeles Dodgers is Cody bellinger he was the first person to hit ten home runs to start off a season of baseball in the MLB.Cody first started when he was about 19 or 20 years old he plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers which I think is a great team for Cody and he is a big help to the Dodgers.Cody played travel ball when he was 11 years old and his dad was an baseball player too when he wasn't playing he coached the travel ball team his son played on. He is famous for the youngest baseball player to ever join the MLB.
Revere is currently sporting a triple slash line of .302/.340/.381, which is good for a 101 wRC+, which would put him behind only Adam Jones and Nolan Reimold among Orioles outfielders, although Reimold has only accumulated 67 PAs (I’m considering Chris Davis a first baseman here). Yes, his offensive production is largely dependent on batting average, which makes his acquisition a little riskier, but he’s been very consistent over the last 3 years, as the table shows.
The St. Louis Cardinals is a baseball team that is well-known around the world. They are also widely known to be spectacular in their leadoff batting in recent years. For every team, the top of the lineup is where the best all-around hitter is placed, and every year there is a battle for that spot. To be the best all-around hitter, a player has to have an outstanding On Base Percentage (OBP), Batting Average (BA), and On Base Plus Slugging Percentage (OPS). Two players that the Cardinals typically choose to bat leadoff are Matt Carpenter and Kolten Wong. Kolten Wong can hold his own in the Major Leagues, however, Matt Carpenter is the definite choice when it comes to leadoff batting.

It is springtime and the MLB baseball season has started. Millions of people are watching baseball and cheering players on. But many people don’t know about one of the best players of recent times. Albert Pujols played for many teams but had most of his best times with the STL Cardinals. Pujols inspired many people to play baseball and do their best at it.
Mike Trout, Mike Trout is the best current player in the MLB right now. He is a dominate hitter, fielder and a great teammate. Mike Trout is a 6’2, 235lb player from Vineland New Jersey. He is in the top five in the league for all statistics except for strikeouts, not including the players that had one ten at bats because then they can have crazy stats. Some categories he is number 1 is he scored the most runs and walks. Mike Trout is the best player in the MLB.
Yadier Molina is and always will be one of the greatest catcher to ever play the game of baseball. With Yadi coming into the league at such a young age, he has had more of an opportunity to prove himself and the stats and awards he has won can really back it up. Not just is he one of the greatest to play the game at that position, he is one of the best “on the field managers” as they say as far as controlling the tempo of the game and how it is played. With all of the accomplishments Molina has had in his career, it proves why he is one of the best to ever play the game at the catching position.
He has shown he can hit the high fastball after being brushed by Zack Greinke and then showing he can shorten up a swing and take a pitch the other way never trying to do too much and just help this team win ball games! Here are the stats to prove it, he is hitting .299 with five homers 37 RBIs and
