BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Draft Target Late
OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: With veteran Denard Span sidelined for the first month of the season, Taylor will get a chance to show if last season's impressive Double-A campaign, in which he slashed .313/.396/.539 with 22 home runs and 34 stolen bases, carries over into the majors. If Taylor gets hot in April (like he has this spring), he has a chance to remain in the big leagues for the entire season, but if he struggles like he did in late seasons call-up, in which he batted .205, he could be sent down for some additional seasoning in Triple-A.
He’s a must-own in deeper formats and an intriguing prospect fantasy owners should be keeping an eye on. Even if he doesn’t hit for a high average, very few prospects in baseball come close to matching his power/speed tools.
