Victor Robles, OF, Nationals. DOB: 5/19/1997. B-R, T-R. 6'0", 190 lbs.
2018 AAA: .278/.356/.386, 2 HR, 14 SB, 9.9 BB%, 14.3 K%, 182 PA.
2018 MLB: .288/.348/.525, 3 HR, 3 SB, 6.1 BB%, 18.2 K%, 66 PA.
2018 was supposed to be Victor Robles' big rookie season. He's been an elite prospect for several years and had a short callup in 2017. Instead, he spent a significant portion of the season on the DL but shined in a small sample size September callup. The only question marks for Robles in 2019 are health and the unsettled Nationals OF situation which should become much more clear when Bryce Harper signs with them or another team. Assuming Harper goes somewhere else, Robles would be the clear favorite for CF over Michael Taylor with Juan Soto who went roaring past Robles last year taking over in RF.
Although Robles has plenty of power projection, he is currently more of a contact, gap-power hitter with speed to steal bases.
Here is his Steamer projection for 2019:
.273/.334/.416, 13 HR, 28 SB's, 30 2B, 4 3B, 13 HR, 28 SB, 6.7 BB%, 18.0 K%, 586 PA.
Whether that is rosterable in your fantasy league depends on the size of your league and parameters. He would be very borderline in my 10 team H2H league but the SB's would probably make him a plus on someone's roster. He would obviously be more attractive in larger leagues and leagues with a separate CF category. He should already be owned in deep keeper leagues.

Byron Buxton/Jurickson Profar 2.0? Something about his size and the hype that makes me wonder if he is the next top prospect to underwhelm.
ReplyDeleteByron Buxton would be a perfect project for Harry Walker if Walker was still alive.
