BATTERS: Early 2019 targets
Sep 10 2018
Our last Batters Buyers Guide column of the regular season will help you identify some early 2019 speculative and breakout targets.
Since a breakout target in one league might be a speculative target in another, we'll try to provide an extensive cross-section of guys who could fit either bill.
Here are a bunch of guys with major league experience in each league who could be in store for big gains in 2019.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Andrew Benintendi (LF, BOS) still has a chance to post a 20-20 season at age 23. While there are signs that 2019 might be a consolidation year for him (84 HctX, 81 xPX in 2018), his steady plate skills, flashes of pop, and consistently good wheels all give him 30-30 upside heading into next season.
