7 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels are lowering the yellow home run line in right field from 18 feet to eight feet. That will benefit the left-handed swinging Kole Calhoun, while also changing how he plays the position considerably. StatCast estimates that this change would have added 17 more home runs last season, with 11 of them hit by Angels opponents. Calhoun alone would have had six more home runs over the last two years, so this change should help him push out a handful more four-baggers in 2018. Coming off a down year, Calhoun is a solid bounce-back candidate who can be had near the end of standard drafts. This change won't turn him into a superstar, but a few more home runs makes him worth the gamble.--patton
