OF- Clint Frazier

Frazier it seems like has been a member of the New York Yankees forever. After the big trade of Andrew Miller to the Cleveland Indians, he was one of the main pieces that came back to the New York Yankees. 2019 may finally be his time, and he is someone that you should think about targeting late in fantasy baseball drafts this year.

Of course, the Yankees could always sign Machado and Harper and make Frazier trade bait or depth, but this could be a year that Frazier finally gets his shot.

2018 was a bad luck year for Frazier. He had multiple concussions at a time that the Yankees could have used his services with injuries to Aaron Judge and Jacoby Ellsbury, and Brett Gardner providing nothing offensively in the second half of the season (.209/.288/.316). It got so bad that they were regularly running out Shane Robinson and Neil Walker in the outfield for a time.

Gardner was re-signed and Ellsbury can’t be counted on to stay healthy, but barring an add in the outfield, Frazier has a real shot to be the New York Yankees left fielder opening day. If he does, maybe he can live up to his legendary bat speed.
