Our last Batters Buyers Guide column of the regular season will help you identify some early 2021 speculative targets.

Michael Brosseau (1B/3B/2B, TAM) is showing flashes that suggest he could be an everyday contributor in 2021. He has posted an upper-tier 125 HctX and 149 xPX in 2020.

Jeimer Candelario (1B/3B, DET) resurrected his prior prospect...
Almost!
