Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
Delmonico was sidelined from mid-May to mid-July due to a hand fracture and never found much sustained success in 2018. He hit surprisingly well in 2017 but came crashing back to Earth, posting a .215/.296/.373 slash line in 318 PA for the White Sox, most of which came as a left fielder. The 26-year-old had a 25.2% strikeout rate and 8.5% walk rate -- both of which are salvageable -- but showcased few strengths during the 2018 season. Delmonico seems unlikely to continue to see such extended major-league opportunities with the White Sox without increased production, as the organization still features a strong farm system, including top prospect Eloy Jimenez, who is on the cusp of being called up.
Before dismissing last season's second-half emergence as a fluke, keep in mind Delmonico was once a highly-regarded prospect. However, personal issues, including a 50-game suspension for using amphetamines in 2014, curbed his development. After struggling in 2015, Delmonico regained prospect status in 2016, slashing .338/.397/.676 in 159 plate appearances at Double-A Birmingham before being promoted to Triple-A Charlotte where he recorded a .246/.320/.388 line. Delmonico opened 2017 at Charlotte, showing across-the-board improvement to .262/.347/.421. Injuries at the big-level prompted a promotion on July 31. Delmonico continued improving, getting on base at a 37 percent clip while slugging .482. The White Sox are acquiring pieces for 2019 and beyond and have nothing to lose by giving Delmonico a good look. His plate skills suggest he can avoid long slumps, increasing chances for success. Have Plan B ready, but there's pathways to profit drafting Delmonico as a fourth or fifth outfielder in mixed formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could earn big-league job with Reds
OFCincinnati Reds  
March 22, 2021
Delmonico might have a shot at cracking the Reds' Opening Day roster, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
Delmonico is 6-for-17 in spring training after signing a minor-league deal and his numbers, as well as his ability to play first base, could be two strong factors that might keep him around for the start of the season -- especially since Shogo Akiyama (hamstring) will begin the year on the injured list while there's a lot of uncertainty regarding Joey Votto (illness) following his COVID-19 diagnosis. In four seasons with the White Sox, Delmonico owns a .224/.312/.384 slash line across 574 plate appearances.
