Manuel Margot Falling Out Of Favor
6 years agoIt’s becoming probable that San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot won’t be given an everyday job in 2019. After a disappointing .245/.292/.384 slash with just eight homers and 11 steals (53 percent success rate) last year, Margot needs to showcase his offensive worth to remain in the lineup. Despite his excellent defense and a promising 2017 campaign, Margot has yet to prove he can regularly get on base and been unable to utilize his exceptional speed on the basepaths. While he’ll receive the majority of starts in center field, he’ll split time with outfielders Franchy Cordero and Wil Myers. Still just 24 years old, there’s time for Margot to ascend to his potential. But a part-time gig at the bottom of the lineup makes him an unappealing fantasy option at his ADP of 292.
