NFBC: The Billy Hamilton wild card
If you want to know why rookie Billy Hamilton is going so early this off-season in fantasy drafts, all you have to do is look at last year’s weak stolen base totals for your answer. With stolen bases down by 536 in 2013 from 2012—a drop of almost 17 percent—fantasy owners know that filling that category won’t be easy. Unless you find a Billy Hamilton, that is.
Hamilton is the biggest wild card in this year’s drafts, the one and maybe only player who could dominate one of the 5x5 categories. Not that he will do that, but he could.
