4 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler has been slumping for much of the spring. Kepler has just three hits in 39 plate appearances, along with 10 strikeouts compared to zero walks in 13 Grapefruit League games. For what it's worth, manager Rocco Baldelli isn't worried about his 28-year-old outfielder, citing how Kepler has looked and what pitches he was swinging at, rather than just the underwhelming results. Kepler is a bounce-back candidate in 2021 after seeing his OPS drop from .855 in 2019 to .760 in the shortened season. While he likely won't be the 36-homer guy from 2019 again, he should still be good for solid totals in the home run, run, and RBI categories. Kepler is looking like a third or fourth outfielder at his 177 ADP.--Tim Capurso
