Tim Anderson (SS, CHW) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150

CURRENT ADP: 164

ANALYSIS: Known more for his speed than his bat as a prospect, Tim Anderson had a surprisingly robust debut. He hit .283 with nine homers and 10 steals and scored 57 runs in just 99 games as a rookie. While his plate discipline left much to be desired (111 strikeouts against just 13 walks), the 23-year-old showed he had the chops to hack it in the majors. With the White Sox in rebuild mode, Anderson should be given plenty of leash in the event of early struggles. Tyler Saladino could usurp his starting role, but he’s probably going to be needed at second base when the inevitable Brett Lawrie injury strikes. Anderson should run more often in his sophomore season (he only attempted 12 swipes), which, along with decent pop and passable AVG and R marks, would make him a worthy fantasy asset.
