Abraham Nunez - the KC one

[ny69mets86]

What's Abraham Nunez' story? Is 7-20 with 3 doubles since being dealt by the Marlins to the Royals. Smashed 9 homers during ST after hitting over .300 at AAA last season, but proceeded to do squat with the Fish.....

yea, i've been watching him closely since he has been traded and he seems to be a decent hitter, but i dont think he will have much of an impact in any fantasy leagues. I think the Royals were just trying to add "toolsy players" and letting them develop (Nunez, Mateo, Dee Brown). Nunez hit 5th last night and he might stay there since Stairs is injured.

Just curious about him as a backup OF in a 14 team dynasty format with 30 players per team.

My understanding is he has 5 tool potential but couldn't get playing time in Florida. I think he had like 9 taters in spring training this year. All I know is he's looked quite nice so far.......

He might just be worth a spot on that deep a team. He's got power and speed. Might be he gets pretty good if he gets a chance to play regularly. I don't see him as a high BA type, but if can generate numbers elsewhere, he's worth one of 30 roster spots.
