David Dahl (OF, COL) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~210

CURRENT ADP: 241

ANALYSIS:David Dahl had the very definition of a lost season in 2017, as a rib cage injury that should have been a two week injury sapped his entire 2017 season. After looking like a future All-Star in 2016, where he hit .315 with seven home runs and five stolen bases in just 222 at-bats in 2016, Dahl will look to regain that form in 2018. Unfortunately, those numbers were partially buoyed by a .404 BABIP, so hold back a little before crowning him as the second coming.

That said, the good news is that he still has a high ceiling and could easily be a 15/15/.285 kind of player. Banking on the power is probably a bit risky since any lingering effects of that rib cage injury would sap the power, but he should still be a solid performer with lots of young upside. Assuming he wins a regular job out of spring training, where he will be competing with Gerardo Parra, Raimel Tapia, and possibly Ian Desmond for two spots, Dahl would be a strong late-round flyer for owners to take.
