Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Does anyone play fantasy baseball here?

Curious as to what up and coming bats people are eyeing. I need more depth at 1B and 3B (Freeman on the IL and Paredes struggling but could come out of it soon).

Ben Rice and Spencer Torkelson are a couple of good ones to look at if they're available in your league.
Maikael Garcia at KC is available at 3b and is 50% owned… 37 stolen basis, not a good BA last year but is young and is batting above 300 this year.. Kerry Carpenter is a good power hitter OF at Detroit and still available in 1/3 of leagues…Rookie Christian Campbell is a highly regarded 2B that may be still available. Rookie Jackson Jobe SP for Detroit may be a solid Starter and is 54% owned, David Peterson is a solid Starter for the Mets and is 33% owned, the kid Chandler Simpson was batting 360, under 10% strikeouts and stole 100 bases last year, will be called up by Tampa in the near future, Ben Rice as mentioned at 1B is owned @33% and is a solid bat 1B, Garrett Mitchell at Mil has a chance to be a breakout OF coming off of injuries last year and is 15% owned.
@HFNY Tyler Soderstrom is a good power hitting first baseman in his first full year as a starter in the majors and is batting in the middle of the lineup in the AAA park at Sacramento for the A's ~ has 35-40 home run power… I think that's the guy you are looking for, is 66% owned and going fast if he is not already gone in your league…
Thanks and yes, he was long gone. Only a 10 team league but some very good managers. Fortunately, Freddie comes back relatively soon because Michael Busch sits vs. LHP and Christian Encarnacion-Strand is nearly all potential for the moment.
I did pick up Andres Gimenez off of waivers because Marcus Semien is crapping the bed for me. So is Bryan Reynolds and Willy Adames.
Garrett Mitchell is intriguing though Fan Graphs doesn't think too highly of him for ROS. I had Josh Lowe but he's on the IL.
@HFNY
These are reaches but OF Jordan Walker is another guy you could look at that has better than average major league talent ~ 25+ home run power and could bat around 270 with some RBI potential if he moves up the batting order ~ he has been left for dead as a prospect coming back from injury and is likely a full time starter
Thanks and I actually picked up Walker a few days ago.
Jo Adell has always intrigued me but his BA is a drain. I'm keeping my eye on his K rate, it could be trending down.
My team is 2-1 on the year and in second place, but my team batting avg is .203. Absolutely incredible.
