BALLER MOVE: Target ~175
CURRENT ADP: 218
ANALYSIS: Had he not missed 50 games with finger and wrist injuries, Steven Souza had a decent chance at a 20/20 season last year. Of course, that category juice also came saddled with a .225 average. Souza is a textbook three-true-outcomes hitter-- he walked, struck out or homered in just over 48 percent of his plate appearances as a rookie. Only nine players made less contact than Souza (min. 400 PA). He obviously carries much more value in leagues that count OBP instead of AVG, but he's worth rostering even in standard leagues if you can absorb the latter. Power and speed combos aren't exactly easy to find after pick 200.
Steamer thinks Souza can cut down on the strikeouts. If he can do that and avoid the disabled list in 2016, he'll return a nice profit at his current price. Should you find yourself well-stocked with high-average hitters as the draft wears on, Souza would make a fine addition to your fake baseball team.
