Seth Beer Tests Positive For COVID-19
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Seth Beer, the team's No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, tested positive for COVID-19 after intake testing was completed. Beer is unlikely to be a realistic option for the D-Backs in 2020, but he was a beast of a hitter at Clemson and became a first-round pick of the Astros in 2018. He was sent to Arizona in the Zack Greinke trade last year. The left-handed slugger hit a combined .289/.388/.516 with 26 home runs and 103 RBI between High-A Fayetteville, Double-A Jackson and Double-A Corpus Christi in 122 minor league games last year. Power is Beer's biggest tool, but there is some swing and miss to his game. He's one to monitor in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he can be avoided in redraft leagues in 2020.
