Grayson Greiner

In 340 major-league plate appearances, Greiner has a 54 wRC+. The league average is 100, which tells you just how far away he is from being a productive fantasy asset. In the minors, he showed OBP chops and used the ballpark in Erie to his advantage as all Detroit hitters passing through Double-A do. At the major-league level, the .207/.277/.299 triple-slash line leaves so much to be desired. He will likely be the backup in Detroit once again this season, but even deep AL-only leaguers shouldn't bother with this guy unless in-season injuries to the position dictate otherwise.

Greiner looks to be the Tigers' primary catcher this season with James McCann non-tendered and no other appealing alternatives on the roster. The unusually tall (6-foot-6) backstop posted a promising .266/.350/.405 line in 46 games at Triple-A Toledo last season but looked like a backup in his first taste of big-league action. That performance wasn't significantly out of line with Greiner's prospect reports, as he never had significant hype. He was supposed to have a bit of power, and he regularly ran slugging percentages above .400 in the minors, but he couldn't manage a single homer in his time with the Tigers. There's at least a bit of hope he could provide some power this season, as his 87.9 mph average exit velocity ranked in the middle of the pack last season. Greiner is very much in the mix in AL-only leagues simply due to his playing time but will need to tap into that power to have broader appeal.
