15 seconds agoMLB.com's Maria Guardado writes that San Francisco Giants outfielder Jerar Encarnacion should get plenty of chances to stick on the big-league roster in 2025 since he's out of minor-league options, and she even goes as far as to project him as the team's primary designated hitter. Encarnacion hit .248 with a .702 OPS and five home runs in 35 games for the Giants last year. The 27-year-old Dominican outfielder has 50 career home runs in 223 games at Triple-A in the minors and has impressive raw power. Although he struck out plenty in a limited sample size last year in just his second stint in the big leagues, Encarnacion had a 58.8 percent barrel rate and 95 mph average exit velocity. If he takes advantage of early-season playing time, he could be a deep-league power sleeper, but fantasy managers definitely shouldn't expect much in the batting average department.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
