You should never discount a player in fantasy baseball. How many times have you sworn off a player, only to see them break out on a different fantasy roster the following year? How many times did you finally give up on your favorite sleeper only to see them hit a year too late?
The same concept applies to players on bad teams. How many times have you declined to pick up a player because their team is bad? Fantasy managers should never have a dismissive attitude toward a strong performance.
Sometimes, you might just find a diamond in the rough.
