6 years agoAfter a promising 2017, San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot’s 2018 campaign has raised more questions than answers to his long-term viability with the team. Margot’s slash sits at a disappointing .246/.294/.377 with only seven homers in 490 plate appearances. Touted for his speed and defense, Margot’s 10-for-20 success rate on the basepaths has been unacceptable and a modest 3.2 defensive WAR has not made up for the offensive woes. While his young outfield counterparts Hunter Renfroe and Franmil Reyes have surged in the second half, Margot has wallowed with a .236 average since August hitting at the bottom of the order. For 2019, Margot will need a strong Spring Training to earn an everyday role on the field and recover any semblance of fantasy value.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
