5 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is entering his second full season of play in 2020 with an opportunity to be the team's leadoff hitter. Robles is a speedster, which traditionally fits the role, but his .327 career OBP doesn't lend itself quite as well to the #1 spot in the order. But if he gets the leadoff job--and keeps it--Robles should cross the plate quite often with a Nationals lineup behind him that remains formidable despite losing Anthony Rendon. It's too soon to bake the assumption that Robles will hit #1 into his draft status, but he is already an easy top 100 pick (ADP of 68 so far). Leading off would naturally make him even more valuable and so this is a storyline to watch in spring training.--Nathaniel Green
