2018 RotoRob Top 85 Fantasy Baseball Prospects Read Post »
RotoRob recently had the pleasure to sit down with Nick Lowery, the Chiefs’ all-time leading scorer, and one of the greatest place kickers in NFL history. Currently an advocate for zero-THC Cannabidiol (CBD), Nick the Kick made three Pro Bowl teams over his 18-year career, and he proved as verbose and enthusiastic as he was accurate on the gridiron, waxing philosophical on a range of topics.

Just 20 years old, Allen established himself as a building block in Brooklyn with a strong rookie campaign. He only played 20 minutes per game, but his PT kept rising as the season progressed, as did his touches. Allen did a good job of getting to the line and showed nice potential on the offensive glass. Best of all, his 58.9 per cent field goal accuracy ranked second among all rookies that played at least 30 games. Allen should be a big-time sleeper heading into 2018-19.

Jimenez may be the next top prospect to get recalled. After missing some time at the start of the season with a pectoral injury, he’s gone 30-for-90 so far at Double-A, but is really heating up lately. He had a streak of nine straight multi-hit games, and had gone 19-for-43 over the last 10 games, with 10 RBI before Saturday (when he was 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI). Jimenez’s walk rate is down, but he’s offset that by making better contact. It’s clear he’s ready for the next step, so jump on him now while his ownership is fairly low.

He probably wasn’t thrilled about how the season ended, but Brown sure reached into Fountain of Youth and came up with a fantastic campaign. After looking like a Fantasy non-factor for the last four seasons, he put together a 61-point effort for a new career best. Brown remains a tough as nails competitor, too, one whom you don’t want to keep your head down when you’re playing against.

McCarthy has not given up more than three earned runs in any of his half dozen starts this season, tying a season-best with six punchouts in his last outing to improve to 4-0, 3.09. His strikeout rate is down a smidge this year, but if he can stay healthy, he should easily top 125 whiffs while providing plenty of wins, a solid ERA and a decent WHIP. It’s not Fantasy gold, but it’s roster-worthy.

Injuries to Oriole infielders have guaranteed that Valencia is going to get PT for the foreseeable future, so it’s time to consider him in deeper AL-only leagues. On Thursday, he delivered two hits, including a solo dinger, to snap a slump. Valencia started the season as a part-timer, and hasn’t done much yet, but he does have some pop — that was his third jack of the season. He’s shown the ability to hit for a decent average (.267 career) and be productive (66 RBI in each of the last two seasons), so it’s worth watching to see what he does with this opportunity.
