6 years agoTaking a late-round shot on outfielder Kole Calhoun simply comes down to your category of need at that point in the draft. He is being drafted with the 362nd (OF94) pick on average in early drafts and is rated 316th (OF91) overall by RotoBaller. Calhoun disappointed mightily in 2018, slashing .208/.283/.369 with 19 home runs, 57 RBI, 71 runs, and six steals over 491 at-bats. This was his worst season in his six-year MLB career (excluding his 2012 rookie season where he had just 23 at-bats.) He had some brutal metrics when looking deeper, with a 0.4 BB/K, 24.1% strikeout rate, .161 ISO, and .241 BABIP. The .241 BABIP stands out, as it represents the lowest BABIP of his career by a wide margin and is much lower than his career average .293 BABIP. On the positive side, Calhoun registered the highest Hard Hit % of his career at 44.5% and the lowest Soft Hit % of his career at 12.6%. He also walked 9.6% of the time, which is an above-average rate. You know what you’re going to get as a baseline with the selection of Calhoun as a late-round flier - a power hitter who will more-than-likely be a drain on your batting average category (bonus value for points leagues). After all, he has smashed 17 or more bombs and hit .272 or worse in each of the last five seasons and projects for a similar role with the Angels in 2019. Steamer has Calhoun projected for a .243/.324/.410 line, adding 21 home runs, 78 runs, 71 RBI, and six steals. That's about what you should expect and he is appropriately ranked.--Kyle Ringstad - RotoBaller

2 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Kole Calhoun was released on Saturday. Calhoun opted out of his minor-league contract on June 1 and has officially been released on June 3 as the Yankees chose not to add him to their active roster. The veteran 35-year-old should resurface on a new team in the coming days as you can never have enough outfield depth.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller

2 years agoOutfielder Kole Calhoun is exercising a June 1 opt-out clause with the New York Yankees and will become a free agent unless the team adds him to their active MLB roster within 72 hours, according to a source. Calhoun has changed his swing this year and currently has a .963 OPS at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, so he's likely to draw interest from other teams if he becomes a free agent again. It's unlikely the Yankees add the 35-year-old to their major-league roster. In 125 games with the Texas Rangers in 2022, Calhoun hit just .196 with 14 doubles, a triple, 12 home runs, 49 RBI, three stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 424 plate appearances. He's a long shot to return any fantasy value in 2023, let alone get another shot in the big leagues with another club.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 years agoThe New York Yankees announced on Thursday that they signed free-agent outfielder Kole Calhoun to a minor-league deal. Calhoun signed with the Seattle Mariners in the offseason but became a free agent when he didn't make the Opening Day roster out of spring training. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder played in 125 games with the Texas Rangers last year and slashed a weak .196/.257/.330 with a .587 OPS, 12 home runs, 49 RBI, three stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 424 plate appearances. He can still offer some value with his glove in the outfield, but he doesn't have much to offer offensively these days and will strictly serve as organizational outfield depth with Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) on the injured list.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Kole Calhoun opted out of his minor-league deal with the team on Sunday and is now a free agent, according to a source. Calhoun wasn't going to make the club's Opening Day roster, so he'll now hope to latch on with another team for the 2023 season. In 12 Cactus League games with the M's, Calhoun went 8-for-32 (.250) with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and six strikeouts in 35 plate appearances. In 125 games in 2022 with the Texas Rangers, the 35-year-old veteran slashed just .196/.257/.330 with a .587 OPS, 12 home runs, 49 RBI and 36 runs scored in 424 plate appearances. Calhoun might join another team on a minor-league deal, but he should be ignored in all fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
