BALLER MOVE: Target ~400
CURRENT ADP: 577
ANALYSIS: Magneuris Sierra was one of the prospects Miami received in the Marcell Ozuna deal, and he profiles as a better fantasy player than MLB one. His most notable fantasy skill is his speed, which grades as a 70 on the 20-80 scale. He only went 2-for-4 in SB attempts over a 64 PA trial with the Cardinals last season, but ran an impressive 77% success rate (17-for-22) over 353 PAs at Double-A last year. The volume of attempts wasn't there, but he attempted 48 thefts (making it on 31 of them) at Single-A in 2016. He could be a significant SB asset if he finds his way on base.
Sierra slashed .269/.313/.352 at Double-A last year, numbers that work in fantasy if they come with 30 SB. He also projects as a strong defender on a team with nothing but available positions to claim, so he could keep playing through an early slump. The expected cost is minimal, so why not gamble that Sierra is more Billy Hamilton than Joey Gathright?
