BALLER MOVE: Target ~175
CURRENT ADP: 247
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo did not have a very good 2017 season, posting a -0.6 WAR . He fell from hitting 47 homers in '16 to 23, and he only played in 13 fewer games.
He only had 65 RBI last season, failing as a source of power for the Orioles. Trumbo is only 32, which means that he should have something left in the tank. He is a very one-dimensional player and, even with all his homers over the years, he has only cracked the 100 RBI mark twice. It might be a bit much to assume that Trumbo hits 40 or more home runs once again, but his power is real.
Even with his issues, Trumbo is in an offensively friendly ballpark in Baltimore and has averaged 33 home runs per 162 games in his career. If he can bounce back to 30 or more home runs, which he has three times in his career, he will have a good return for a player that can be drafted in the 18th round or later.
