10 Fantasy Baseball Assets to Buy in Dynasty and Keeper Leagues Before Opening Day
With opening day around the corner, certain fantasy baseball assets are about to see their stocks rise. Which should we be looking to buy in dynasty and keeper leagues?

Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals

It's probably weird to view a player generally regarded as a top-three dynasty asset as a stock you want to buy. But with the way 2016 went for Bryce Harper, this may be your last opportunity to get him at a reasonable cost for the forseeable future.

The bare bones of Harper's 2016 make it look like a major concern. He finished 627 plate appearances with just 24 home runs and a .243 batting average. Considering his cost, that's not great, Bob.

That's just the downsides, though. Alternatively, Harper swiped a career-high 21 bases while walking almost as many times as he struck out. This helped him post a .373 on-base percentage in his age-23 season. Does that look like a down season to you?

Your leaguemates are smart enough to know Harper is an asset to buy, but any doubts may temporarily put a cap on his cost. Harper has six home runs, eight walks, and eight strikeouts in his 50 spring plate appearances, showing that last year's shoulder injury is a thing of the past. Don't insult the Harper owner with a low-ball offer, but if you have the pieces to make a run at him, now's the time to be aggressive while the getting is good.
