Yoenis Cespedes, OF, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $3,800

The reason the switch-hitting Asdrubal Cabrera is a good play is Jerad Eickhoff's numbers against lefties.

Against right-handed bats, Eickhoff has an impressive 25.6% strikeout rate, but that number drops to 17.4% against southpaws. Factor in a 39.7% ground-ball rate and 32.5% hard-hit rate, and it makes sense to consider left-handed New York Mets bats today.

Unfortunately, that leaves out righty Yoenis Cespedes.

Even considering Cespedes' .244 isolated power versus right-handers last season, you'll need to save salary somewhere to fit in Coors hitters, so there's little reason to spend up to him in a sub-optimal spot. Colorado Rockies outfielders like Charlie Blackmon ($4,500) and Carlos Gonzalez ($3,900) are far better plays in this price range.
