Konnor Griffin Trending Towards Making Opening Day Roster?
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin is one of just three non-roster position players remaining in camp with the big league club with just a week and a half left before the regular season begins. MLB's top-ranked prospect has made a solid case with his bat to crack the team's Opening Day roster, going 7-for-33 (.212) with five of his seven hits going for extra bases (one double, four home runs). Without having played a single game at Triple-A (and only 21 at Double-A), it remains to be seen whether the Pirates are ready to give the former first-round draft pick the reins at shortstop or if they think he needs to gain some additional experience at Triple-A Indianapolis. The 6-foot-3 slugger has all the tools needed to make an impact in the majors this season, it is just a matter of when that will be. With an ADP of around pick 143 in drafts since the beginning of March, fantasy managers believe it will be sooner rather than later.
