It’s been a crazy ride this summer. The shortened 2020 fantasy season is winding down with less than two weeks remaining before the Major League Baseball playoffs begin. This will be our last update of the Top 50 redraft prospects for the year.
It was a challenging season, to say the least, with no minor league games to track players’ progressions. In a normal season, we watch prospect values rise and fall as the players navigate through a long minor league season. This year has been a much different story. News from the alternate training sites has been inconsistent and the results from simulated games do not take the place of regular, competitive games. And never knowing what type of baseball is going to show up in any given season is yet another wrinkle.
We’ve seen a lot of prospects have strong impacts on the 2020 season, some of whom have already graduated off the list such as Kyle Lewis, Luis Robert, and, most recently, Jake Cronenworth. However, players such as Alec Bohm, Gavin Lux, and Bobby Dalbec retain their rookie eligibility and are primed to help fantasy managers with a last-minute rush to the finish line. Best of luck to all the fantasy managers still in the hunt for a title.

Notes on Prospects 1-10
2. Bobby Dalbec, 3B/1B, Red Sox: Dalbec had a crazy, unexpected start to his MLB career with six of his first nine hits going over the outfield fence — including a string of five straight games with a homer. This type of production obviously is not going to continue but he’s a streaky player in the midst of a hot streak so ride him until the strikeouts start to weigh down the results. He’s only rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues right now and is eligible to play two different positions.
4. Randy Arozarena, OF, Rays: I’ve been a big Arozarena for a couple of years now and he’s been showing why he’s so sneaky-good. But his home run bing is also a little out of character as he’s more of a “little bit of everything” kind of player rather than a true slugger. If he can avoid chasing the home run now that he’s had a little luck in that regard — and if he can find playing time on a deep Rays roster — Arozarena can help you through the final stretch of the…
