Who are some prospects to targets for 2017 fantasy baseball?
As the NFL gets closer to ending it’s season and the NHL and NBA are in the middle of their seasons, it means it’s time to prepare for 2017 fantasy baseball. Obviously a good draft and your players staying healthy can springboard you to a championship season, but its the moves that you make during the season can really propel you forward. It’s not just about picking up the guy who breaks out out of nowhere.
Prospects are a part of that and picking up a top prospect or two can really help you. Drafting Kris Bryant in 2015 and picking up guys like Michael Fulmer and Gary Sanchez last season could have been a key for your team over the past couple of years.
