2017 Top Fantasy Outfielders
Yes, there is Mike Trout, but when Mookie Betts is flirting with 25+ HR, 90+ R/RBI with 20+ stolen bases projections, he’s worthy of the top three pick … the what-if’s hovering around Giancarlo Stanton’s career are bountiful … when healthy, he’s a machine … when not, he’s mimicking Tulowitzki's durability … Ian Desmond (fractured hand on 3/12) playing half the season in Coors Field is appealing … I don’t think I’m chasing stolen bases via Billy Hamilton this year … too much risk for my liking … I still believe in Yasiel Puig’s raw talent, but fantasy owners will continue to fade him because of everything else and rightfully so … I’m very interested in Byron Buxton’s 2017 season … the Twins’ top prospect showed great promise of “turning the corner” the final month of last season
