4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley is in the Opening Day lineup and will bat eighth against Braves starter Max Fried. Fellow competitors for the center field job, Scott Kingery and Odubel Herrera, were optioned to the alternate training site, but Roman Quinn is on the MLB roster and will be in the mix for playing time in center. However, being in the Opening Day lineup backs up what we believed in Spring Training that the Phillies wanted their former first-round pick to take the job. Haseley's minor league career is littered with strong numbers and elite plate discipline metrics. He hasn't shown much at the MLB level, but if he is expected to be the everyday CF in Philly he has value in dynasty leagues and roto leagues 15-teams and deeper.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
