Hitter Profiles: Bouncing Back…Maybe
The 2020 season was an adventure for several reasons. However, there were still breakouts and breakdowns across the circuits. It is always much more fun to talk about the young upstart that represented a draft day gamble that paid off, while it is much more likely that identifying the early season pickups will win the day (or league). We are not talking about predicting that Christian Yelich will rebound from a rough 2020 as a bounce back. Anybody can make those calls. The real winners find diamonds in the rough that have been cast off and left for dead.
A few weeks into the season is a great time to find waiver wire gems to plug the holes in your draft strategy or react to the injury bug. In today’s hitter profiles column we will look at some names delivering early season value after abysmal 2020 seasons. and make the call on whether we should buy or sell them for the long haul.
