    Conforto has been good in stretches in the past. He just needs to stay healthy.
    I am bullish on Conforto:

    2017 .279/.384/.555
    2018 (2nd half) .273/.356/.539

    To me the 1st half last year was a wash as he was still recovering from his injury.

    So to me low side .270/.355/.540

    Would not be shocked in the slightest to see .285/.380/.555

    That is a darn near elite triple slash!

    Another thing in his favor, I belief he is settling into being the everyday RF which can only help.

      A little note that people might not be aware of on Tim Anderson he didn't start playing baseball until his junior year of high school. The learning curve is in his favor in my opinion.

        Elvis Andrus has started out hot, and it looks like 2018 was the anomoly.

        15 Hr / 25 Sb seems reasonable again.

          Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

            Are you sure you are in the right thread? (I like Franmil to easily improve on his .224/.298 but that's not what I'd call a hot start)

              Well, I'm thinking more of breakouts that may be real, not so much hot starts, and despite the surface stats, I think he is amidst a monster breakout.

                Fair enough.

                  Kingery still has a limited roll, but is showing the promise he was expected to show last year

                      You keep using these words. I don't think they mean what heyelander thinks they mean.

                        He has a .500 babip going into today. Given that and the .291 career OBP, I'd pump the brakes a bit.

                          I auctioned him in all 3 leagues I could. Reasoning that he was among the elite in foot speed in 2018, portending a higher SB ceiling, mix in some HR, positional flexibility, and the fact he's 24 years old, starting the 2nd of a 6 year deal, and you figure he'll get more chances to sink or swim.
