Fantasy Baseball: 10 Base Stealers to Target for 2018
Base stealers are hard to come by in roto leagues. The following 10 players will help take care of that problem.

Dee Gordon, Seattle Mariners (2B, OF)

When the Seattle Mariners traded for Dee Gordon, they acquired one of the game's best base stealers. He led baseball with 60 stolen bases last season, which is the third time in the last four seasons where he's been tops in that category. Gordon has also led the league in being caught twice (16 times last season), but most leagues don't ding you for caught stealings, so who cares?

Gordon also gives you a decent batting average (.293 career hitter, .308 last season) and enough walks to get by, too (.341 on-base percentage in 2017). In a league where the art of the steal is virtually dead, Gordon still practices that craft religiously. With an Average Draft Position (ADP) of 31, he's a solid early third-round pick in 12-team roto leagues.
