Christopher Morel Hitting Prospects to Stash

Memorial Day weekend is an unofficial benchmark of the Major League Baseball season. Teams have played about a third of their games, and most stats are beginning to normalize. This weekend is a great time to reassess the fantasy landscape and update my rest of season rankings. We know – or at least we think we do – which players and teams are here to stay and which will fade. Having said that, there are always surprises and outliers. For example, I did not expect Christopher Morel to hit nine home runs in his first 12 games of the season. Nor did I think he would have nine more homers than Jose Abreu has managed in over 200 plate appearances.

And yet, I have Abreu higher in my ROS rankings than Morel. Don’t get me wrong – I do not expect Abreu to suddenly turn things around. His underlying metrics are not exactly encouraging. But I also do not think we should overreact to what Morel has done in an extremely small sample size. His walk and strikeout rates are worse than they were last year. I question how long he can continue to defy his metrics. But that’s part of the beauty of ROS rankings. We all have opinions on players and what constitutes a true breakout versus a flash in the pan or a simple hot streak.

So, am I too low on Morel? Too high on Abreu? Which other players do you think I am too high or low on? Let me know in the comments below! I will update these rankings every two weeks moving forward, so time will tell how these rankings will shake out in the coming months.
