CJ Abrams Expected To Be On Opening Day Roster
3 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder CJ Abrams is expected to be part of the team's Opening Day roster, according to Jon Heyman. This is exciting news for Padres fans and fantasy managers alike. The 21-year-old is currently ranked as the No. 9 overall prospect on MLB.com. He's extremely versatile with 80-grade speed and a 60-grade hit tool. He also showed some power this spring as he hit a pair of home runs. The Padres won't be wasting their top prospect in a reserve/utility role, so expect to see him in the starting lineup early and often. He should get some starts at both shortstop and in the outfield. Stolen bases will be his best attribute, but he could also provide a strong batting average as he hit .343 during his time in the minors.
