10 Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy and Sell for Week 16
Buy C.J. Cron
What if I told you Tampa Bay Rays' C.J. Cron has hit 19 home runs in the unofficial first half of the season? And what if I told you there were only four big-league first basemen who had hit more so far in 2018?
Cron has been quietly productive, with 49 RBIs and 45 runs scored to go along with those 19 dingers. No, his slash line won't blow anyone away as he's hitting .256/.327/.479 in 376 plate appearances, and he's not going to blow anyone else's numbers off the page. His .346 wOBA is 16th among the 48 first basemen with at least 130 plate appearances, but it's what makes him a pretty good option to pick up.
If you need a cheaper infusion of power, you could probably get Cron without having to give up anything elite off your roster, and he would be especially valuable to players who have pitching to trade and are in need of some pop.
