Brayan Rocchio - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Brayan Rocchio, SS, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: With Amed Rosario now out of town, the Cleveland Guardians have been rolling with Gabriel Arias and his current .205/.304/.317 slash line at the shortstop position lately. If he doesn't start showing some adequacy at the plate, it wouldn't be surprising to see Cleveland make the swap and bring up the more […]

The power and speed have still been there however with nine home runs and seven steals over […]
