Marcus Semien Looks To Bounce Back in 2018
7 years ago2017 was an injury filled year for Marcus Semien after a semi breakout year in 2017. Semien has always been seen as a strong offensive shortstop with a glove that made you scratch your head. Luckily for fantasy, the glove doesn’t really matter, unless it eats at your playing time. Back to the Bat, in 2016 he had 27 home runs and 75 RBI in 159 games. In 85 Games last season, Semien put up 10 homers and 40 RBI, so that shows at the very least that 2016 was a legit year if you pro rate the numbers. If Semien can stay healthy with the upgraded lineup around him and plays north of 150 games, you can expect 20 Home Runs and 75 RBI with around a .250 batting average. The only issue you may run into is if he struggles early, Franklin Barretto is looming at the SS position. Drafting him comes with risk as he figures to be a very volatile season.
