Michael Massey

Massey was plagued by a recurring ligament sprain in his back last season which held him to 100 games played for the Royals and limited him to designated hitter duty in others. When on the field, Massey produced new career highs with a .190 ISO and 102 wRC+ while cutting his strikeout rate down to just 15.7 percent. He also graded out well defensively for the second year in a row. Massey does his best to get the most out of his fairly limited power with a career 44.2 percent fly ball rate and 52.8 percent pull rate. Unfortunately, Kauffman Stadium is among the most difficult in baseball for left-handed power. The 27-year-old's lack of base stealing chops puts a lot of pressure on his bat, and there might not be enough juice there. When you add in the back problems and Jonathan India added to the second-base mix, you'd have to squint pretty hard to envision Massey having a major fantasy impact. Read Past Outlooks
