5 years agoCleveland Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes homered in his first Cactus League game Sunday. The Indians won the game 9-5. Reyes showed up for camp on a diet and has lost 18 pounds over the winter. Reyes arrived in Cleveland at the trade deadline last season from San Diego in the three-way deal that sent Trevor Bauer to Cincinnati. The 24-year-old possessed massive power as a prospect, and he translated that ability into games with the Padres, hitting 43 home runs in his first 186 career big league games. He ended 2019 with 10 homers in 51 games for the Indians. As long as he continues to show that power, he should slot in as the Indians primary designated hitter this season. For fantasy purposes, if you can withstand a low batting average and some strikeouts, Reyes is a great source of relatively cheap power, as the market has yet to catch up to his potential.--James Stokke
