BALLER MOVE: Target ~180
CURRENT ADP: 202
ANALYSIS: The adjustments Marcus Semien made at the plate last season led to greater power at the expense of average. Given the power surge across the sport recently, that’s not ideal for fantasy purposes. However, the improvement in his contact quality was encouraging, and there may yet be more pop in his bat. Semien is only 26, after all, and he’s shown the ability to recognize and improve weaknesses in his game already (cf. his defensive evolution). Even if he just maintains his level of performance from a year ago – 27 HR and 10 SB with average run production – he’ll make for a fine MI option in mixed leagues.
