Brent Rooker's Spring Slump Continues
9 months agoOakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker went 0-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, continuing his spring slump. He is now hitting just .154 in spring training for a .454 OPS. While Rooker is slumping, he still projects to be an above-average hitter in 2024. ATC projects him for 24 HR and 66 RBI with a .228/.312/.438 slash line. This would be a slight drop from his 2023 numbers, where he slashed 246/.349/.488 with 30 home runs, 69 RBI, 61 runs, and four stolen bases over 526 plate appearances. Rooker currently has an ADP of 346 and is likely only a viable option in deeper leagues or for fantasy managers searching for a cheap power source later in the draft.
