Ronald Acuña Jr.'s injury scare appears to have TradeEdge Exchangebeen just a minor irritation for everyone waiting to see what he will do for an encore. But he's not the only five-category performer in the outfield, where fantasy managers can find plenty of high-end talent.
Elsewhere in the National League, Corbin Carroll, Fernando Tatis Jr., Cody Bellinger, Nolan Jones and yes, Lane Thomas were all members of the 20-homer, 20-steal club last season. Top prospect Jackson Chourio of the Brewers has the raw talent to join them, but he'll have to show he can handle major league pitching at the ripe age of 20. Depth begins to get a little shaky further down in the ranks. One potential value pick is former No. 1 overall pick Henry Davis, who will get some starts behind the plate in Pittsburgh and gain eligibility at catcher.
Young stars Julio Rodriguez and Kyle Tucker lead the way in the American League with their power hitting and 30-steal speed. (Luis Robert and Randy Arozarena have similar skills, but come at a slight discount. ) Meanwhile, Juan Soto will get his first taste of AL pitching, and his arrival in New York should make former MVP Aaron Judge even more productive.
In Texas, Adolis Garcia led all AL outfielders in 2023 with 39 homers and teammate Evan Carter looks primed for a breakout in his first full MLB season. Oakland's Esteury Ruiz topped the league with 67 steals, though he offers very little help in the other offensive categories.
