Edward Olivares' Strong Camp Pays Off
4 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Edward Olivares is on the Opening Day roster. Arguably the most impressive player in Friars camp, the 24-year-old earns a big-league opportunity after registering a strong 123 wRC+ while cranking 18 homers and swiping 35 bags in Double-A last year. The team’s unsung No. 19 prospect will platoon as a right-handed bat and plays all outfield positions. He’ll have to perform to stick as rosters are cut throughout the season. Aside from rewarding patient dynasty holders, Olivares will need more consistent playing time to impact fantasy rosters in 2020.
