Drew Gilbert is a fantasy baseball OF prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Drew Gilbert, OF, Houston Astros
ANALYSIS: When the Astros selected Drew Gilbert in the first round last summer out of the University of Tennessee, many thought it was a perfect organizational fit. Gilbert was the team leader for the Vols, on the field and emotionally. Gilbert hit very well in his pro debut, working up to full-season ball and hitting .313/.405/.531 over 11 games. This season, Gilbert has combined to hit .268/.374/.440 across High-A and Double-A.
Recruited to Tennessee as a two-way player, Gilbert has an elite arm in the outfield and plays a strong defensive outfield at all three outfield positions, giving him value as he moves up.
VERDICT: Gilbert's physical and emotional aggressiveness can get him into trouble at times, but he's got the elite talent to make up for it. That said, he is more a real-life stud than a fantasy one, with a profile akin to Adam Eaton. Make your pickups accordingly.
