Since the outfield position is so deep, I decided to devote separate posts of those who I will target and those who I will try and avoid. On that front, here are the outfielders I have a keen interest in for 2018.
FANTASY BASEBALL OUTFIELDERS I WILL TARGET
Mike Trout: Duh! Hope I get the top pick.
Mookie Betts: I love the slight dip in ADP for Betts so that I can snag him at the end of Round 1 if in position instead of needing the number 2 overall pick like a year prior. This is all due to a BABIP-caused drop in Betts' average last season but you know better.
Charlie Blackmon: Yes the steals are drying up and I also see a slight drop back in homers but Blackmon is the real hitting deal.
J.D. Martinez: The cat is out of the bag now on Martinez which means no more discount at the draft table. Still, his 40-homer swing is well-tuned and will look great as your OF 1 anchor. The only thing is that the similar-skilled Yoenis Cespedes is much cheaper.
Starling Marte: Love reclamation projects like this (PED suspension) as the value could be immense in these situations.
Andrew Benintendi: I had Benintendi in the Experts League last season and needless to say, I want him everywhere again. A 25/25 blockbuster season is in the offing.
A.J. Pollock: The injury threat is real but boy can Pollock fill up the five standard categories when healthy.
Christian Yelich: Left-handed power in Milwaukee is always a good thing and that could uncork the power that is lying in Yelich's bat.
Byron Buxton: Yes I am a firm believer in the ability of Buxton and am willing to deal with a .260 average but also enjoy the 20/40 ratio in power/speed.
Tommy Pham: I won't break the bank for Pham but I also will have him in my early mid-round queue. There are legitimate health and power questions but Pham seemed to unlock everything a year ago.
Rhys Hoskins: The hype is immense here which could price me out but boy I love Hoskins. The power is insane and better yet, Hoskins draws a ton of walks which could help ward off major average trouble.
Andrew McCutchen: Said to buy low on McCutchen last season and that worked out nicely.
Dee Gordon: I am including Gordon here because he will gain outfield eligibility in April since the Seattle Mariners plan to move him there this season. 60 steals, 100 runs. and a .300 average would lock down three categories nicely.
Lorenzo Cain: Always a sucker for the annually affordable Cain who moves to a more offensive park in Milwaukee and is still capable of a 15/25 campaign.
Yoenis Cespedes: Playing the value game leads me to Cespedes whose ADP is dropping sharply from a year ago due to all his leg injuries. Yes that is a major concern but Cespedes is J.D. Martinez but with a cheaper price tag.
Ender Inciarte: Cheap speed here. And a .300 average also.
Yasiel Puig: Yes I am back on the bandwagon.
Gregory Polanco: See Cespedes, Yoenis above.
Adam Eaton: Was headed for a nice 2017 campaign before injury disaster struck. Will be leading off a stacked lineup this season.
Ian Desmond: Desmond is too young and remains in a potent home ballpark to go away this quickly.
Nick Castellanos: Whether at third base or the outfield, Castellanos is sitting on 30 home runs.
Michael Conforto: Any spring training injury question causes a player's stock to fall drastically and so a big profit could be had here regarding five healthy months of Conforto.
Eddie Rosario: Already have talked about my intrigue regarding the emerging power bat of Rosario and the dirt cheap price looks very nice.
Manuel Margot: The screen in San Diego will help you get a potential 15/25/.280 Margot on the cheap.
Odubel Herrera: Another guy I am a sucker on, Herrera can be a solid OF 3 for a very late round pick.
