3 years agoCleveland Guardians outfielder Myles Straw is starting in center field and batting leadoff on Thursday against Kansas City Royals right-hander Zack Greinke. Straw doesn't have much power -- five career home runs in four major league seasons -- but he has 46 career stolen bases in 256 games and was a nice speed target in the late middle rounds of drafts this spring. In 158 games over 638 plate appearances last year between the Houston Astros and Guardian, Straw hit .271/.349/.348 with four home runs, 48 RBI, 86 runs scored and 30 stolen bases. While his overall fantasy appeal is limited, the 27-year-old's speed makes him an asset in all fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
