Michael Saunders, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Michael Saunders made the move from the American League to the National League this offseason, and it wasn't with much fanfare. Saunders really struggled in the second half of last season, posting a wRC+ mark of only 69 to go along with a paltry OPS of .638, striking out 30.4% of the time.

Why You Should Use Him:

The change of scenery could jump start him in 2017, and he begins the campaign with a beatable matchup against Cincinnati Reds starter Scott Feldman. Even with Saunders' strikeout issues last year in the second half, worries for today are quelled a bit because Feldman only whiffed 13% of hitters last year.

Feldman was absolutely mashed by lefties, who racked up a .377 wOBA against with a healthy .504 slugging percentage last year, so Saunders deserves a long look in your lineups.
