Wilyer Abreu Finding Great Success in Early Going
Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu is off to an incredible start to the season. He slugged another home run during Wednesday's loss to the Houston Astros, bringing his season slash line to .417/.417/.917 with three home runs, six RBI, and 281 wRC+. Presumably, his stats will cool down a little over a larger sample size, but the hot start is still indicative of a big year to come for the young outfielder. Abreu is a positive-value defender in right field, where he displays good glovework, plus elite arm strength and accuracy. At the plate, he has hit well enough to earn a spot in the lineup every day, progressing from last year's platoon role. He currently ranks #44 among outfielders in RotoBaller's fantasy baseball rankings, and he'll presumably rise up the rankings as long as he continues to produce consistent results at the plate.
