BALLER MOVE: Target ~200
CURRENT ADP: 217.7
ANALYSIS: While Mets nation is stoked to have Yoenis Cespedes and his decked-out Polaris back for at least another year, it's the player manning left field who they should be hyping. Michael Conforto made the leap from Double-A to the bigs in July and produced a solid stat line, slashing .270/.335/.506 with nine home runs.
He produced a .236 ISO and 17.0% HR/FB rate, along with a 40.9% hard hit rate that would've tied with Bryce Harper and Paul Goldschmidt for fifth overall if he qualified. While his 20.1 K% isn't ideal, he showed good plate presence (24.3 O-Swing%) and crushed fastballs (10.4 wFB). Conforto struggles against lefties (.214) and he is likely to bat towards the bottom of the Mets' lineup, but especially given the injury histories of Neil Walker and David Wright, he could climb up the batting order with some success. Regardless, consider Conforto a lock for 20+ home runs in 2016 and an excellent option in fantasy leagues.
