Angels SS Zach Neto 39.9
Neto might be paying a price for being on the Angels, and that’s not totally unwarranted given that runs and RBI might be hard to find. Still, he hit 26 homers and stole 26 bases while batting .257 in his age 24 season on a team with little lineup protection. He’s going after a trio of first basemen in Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, and Bryce Harper, and I totally understand that impulse to take the safest bats you can find. I just prefer the five-category contributions of a guy like Neto, who’s going almost ten spots higher than this in the NFBC: 30.37 since March 1 (121 drafts).
Please, blog, may I have some more?
