Fantasy Baseball: Top 25 Outfielders for 2019
By Jason Evans
25. Eddie Rosario– Minnesota Twins
2018 stats- 138 games .288/.323/.479 24 homers 77 RBI
2019 steamer- 141 games .277/.318/.470 25 homers 86 RBI
Rosario has emerged as one of the better left-handed hitting outfielders in the game today and a solid producer for fantasy baseball purposes. Rosario put up his second straight season of hitting over .285 with over 20 homers. A leg injury limited him towards the end of 2018, otherwise, his numbers might have been even better than what he put up in 2017.
Among outfielders over the past three seasons, Rosario ranks in the top 30 in homers and runs scored and slugging percentage. He’s 15th in batting average.
Rosario was looked at to carry the load in Minnesota last year, but that shouldn’t be the case in 2019. The team added Nelson Cruz, Marwin Gonzalez, Jonathan Schoop, and C.J. Cron. Full seasons from Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco should help as well. If Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano can look like the players they were two years ago, that’s going to make Rosario an even better fantasy baseball play in 2019.
Rosario should give you close to 30 homers and 90 RBI of production in 2019. Not bad for someone that you should be able to get pretty cheaply.
