F/F SPOTLIGHT: Eugenio Suarez
Jun 21 2018
Using our Custom Draft Guide, a quick scan down the 3B leaderboard reveals a familiar trio at the top of standard leagues: José Ramírez, Nolan Arenado, Manny Machado.

Suarez, who was barely a Top 200 pick in drafts, has exploded with a .299 BA and 13 HR through 197 AB. The age-26 breakout has been a pleasant surprise from someone who hit just .254 from 2016-17 and hadn't come that close to a $20 season in his MLB career.
