ADVICE

Choose Barger Over Encarnacion-Strand

  • Prefer Addison Barger over Christian Encarnacion-Strand if you need position flexibility and power upside.
  • Barger has a perfect hitting profile and growing production that outweighs Encarnacion-Strand's injury concerns and recent power surge.
ADVICE

Catchers: Teel For Upside, Kirk For Floor

  • Prioritize Kyle Teel if you want upside due to his multi-position playing time and DH spot availability.
  • Choose Alejandro Kirk if you want a high batting average and a low strikeout rate with a safer floor.
ADVICE

Lean Toward Joe Adele in OF Leagues

  • In five outfielder leagues, roster Joe Adele for his strong expected stats and upside.
  • Jesus Sanchez also heats up with improved plate discipline but Adele's metrics justify a slightly higher preference.
