At this point in the off-season, all AL West teams have plenty of unresolved issues—including the first base job in HOU, where Jon Singleton will try to step up.
Corey Seager is the closest thing to a 2016 rookie lock for immediate production. He tops a list of precocious rookies and undervalued shortstop options with upside both now and over the long haul.
Third base doesn't have the collective upside of last year's crop, though Joey Gallo's ceiling makes him an exception of Keeper/Dynasty options for the hot corner.
After being out for most of two seasons, Jurickson Profar began his comeback in earnest in the recently-concluded Arizona Fall League. He's one of several names who caught our eye in Phoenix this fall.
DET has found a closer by acquiring Francisco Rodriguez from MIL, both OAK and HOU got busy, and SEA stayed busy. We review fantasy-relevant transactions through November 28.
Plus contact, good defense and a high-ceiling running game make Jose Peraza one of our 2B targets. He's just one name of a list that could have an impact on your league's 2016 SB battle.
Travis D'Arnaud's combination of plate skills and power earned $7 last year despite being limited to just 239 AB by injuries. He remains one of our favorite $10+ plays at catcher heading into 2016.
Josh Bell has yet to make his first MLB appearance, but his plate skills, power potential and opportunity make him a nice value play for 1B-needy keeper league owners.
Carlos Gonzalez is a decent bet to leave Coors Field this off-season, a possibility to which his keeper league owners might want to pay attention. These and some other random musings and speculation as we ramp toward the off-season.
