Bubba Starling Showing Off His Skills
5 years agoKansas City Royals outfielder Bubba Starling, the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft, is hitting .423/.500/.885 in spring training so far. Starling hasn't yet delivered on his abilities in professional baseball, and he struggled to a .215/.255/.317 slash line in 197 plate appearances in his first taste of big league pitching last season. His athleticism is off the charts, and he's finally starting to show it at the plate in the Cactus League. The 27-year-old could be a late bloomer, however, and could become an option in AL-only or deep mixed leagues if he earns himself a regular role in the outfield for the rebuilding Royals. Starling is still worthy of stashing in dynasty/keeper leagues, too.
