BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues
ANALYSIS: Anthony Gose was a second-round pick by the Phillies in the 2008 amateur draft. Like many of the organization’s prospects, he was plucked out of high school with more athleticism than baseball skills. He was traded to Houston in the Roy Oswalt deal, then immediately flipped to Toronto. He shot up prospect lists after breaking out at Double-A in 2011 with a 16 HR, 69 SB season.
In parts of three seasons, Gose never really hit enough to earn a full-time job. Now with the Tigers, Gose is the dominant half of a center field platoon. He’s off to a strong start with a 1.250 OPS, a homer and a steal in four games. You can safely shave at least 500 points off that current mark going forward, but Gose could justify a spot on your roster with his speed alone.
