Victor Robles Could Hit Ninth At Times
6 years agoWashington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that outfielder Victor Robles could hit ninth some games in order to give the team a second leadoff hitter at the end of the order. It'll hurt his overall fantasy upside, but the 21-year-old hit .288/.348/.525 with three home runs and 10 RBI in his first 59 major league at-bats last year and appears to be the real deal. He's ranked as the No. 4 prospect by MLB Pipeline and should already be owned in keeper/dynasty formats. He'll probably be a little overvalued in redraft leagues but has a nice power/speed profile with heaps of upside.
