10 Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy and Sell for Week 9

Buy Michael Brantley

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley has been a forgotten man in baseball the last two seasons, which is understandable given that injuries forced him to miss a significant chunk of time over that stretch. In 2016, he played in just 11 games as his team went to the World Series, and last year, he hit the field for just 90 of them. When he did play last year, he hit well, with a slash line of .299/.357/.444 with 9 dingers.

But here in 2018, Brantley has been healthy since the opening gun and has had one of the quietest All-Star caliber seasons in the Majors. In 183 plate appearances, he's hitting .335/.372/.559 with 8 homers, 34 RBI and 25 runs scored. He's sporting one of the best wOBAs among outfielders this season (.395) with a 150 wRC+, and contrary to most Major Leaguers, never strikes out with a strikeout rate of just 8.7%.

Brantley has been one of the best hitters that no one is talking about so far this year.
