2018 Dudes and Don’ts: The Outfield Don’ts

All right, enough of the mushy stuff! I was 100% positive on the last edition of my Dudes & Don'ts, looking only at my Dudes in the outfield. Well, now it's time for the hate! *Cues up Slayer, starts moshing with himself* Every position is full of landmines, and there are more than a few in the outfield this year. It's like Saving Private Ryan out here. Is that reference too dated? Man, I'm getting old. It's like Hacksaw Ridge out here! Ok, so maybe the war analogies are a bit extreme.

Ketel Marte, SS Diamondbacks [VIDEO]

2018 Fantasy Baseball Profile: Ketel Marte Speed and Average. Those have been the appealing traits Ketel Marte possesses. But a trade from Seattle, and a blazing start by Chris Owings put that on hold. However, is this the year for the Shortstop in the desert to emerge? Seems like Arizona believes this to be true, as they just inked him to a long term contract. Maybe that's why we're so high on him. And as a result you should be too! Hence, another reason to watch The Baseball Show on Fantrax every week. Also, don't forget…
