Due to a fractured elbow, 2016 was a lost season for Pollock. How should we handle him in fantasy baseball drafts this year?
In 2015, A.J. Pollock produced video game numbers, hitting .315/.367/.498 with 20 home runs, 111 runs, 76 RBI and 39 stolen bases (all career highs) in 673 plate appearances.
This led to a strong 131 wRC+ and a 6.5 fWAR, making him a surefire top-tier fantasy baseball target heading into drafts last year. Unfortunately, a fracture his elbow sliding headfirst into home plate mere days before the Arizona Diamondbacks Opening Day sunk a lot of squads since he missed all but 12 games.
