Elvis Andrus' value has come on the basepaths throughout his career, but the 27-year-old is no longer an elite stolen base threat, as he swiped just 25 bags last season. He has stolen less than 30 in three of the last four campaigns. It wasn't all bad news for Andrus in 2015, as he hit a career-best seven home runs on the strength of a .100 ISO. That mark represents the culmination of a two-year increase, and a jump of 30 points from the .70 he posted in 2014. Andrus has eclipsed 650 plate appearances in each of the last six seasons, so he should have plenty of opportunities to return value if he can continue to increase his power numbers. The fact that his most marketable skill seems to be eroding, however, may encourage prospective owners to find speedsters later than Andrus' projected ADP of a mid-to-late round selection.
