4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 5/26/17

Alcides Escobar, SS, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,200

In DFS, we love finding value leadoff hitters under $3,000. This is particularly true with middle infielders where we sometimes have limited choices.

And yet, you simply cannot take the bait on Alcides Escobar no matter how much you want to fit Scherzer or that last Coors bat in your lineup.

The Kansas City Royals keep teasing us by inexplicably leading off with Escobar, despite a .197 wOBA with zero home runs and zero stolen bases.

I could explain to you all the reasons why he's terrible, but our very own Matt Musico already did in a piece titled, Alcides Escobar Is on Pace for the Worst Offensive Season This Century. I mean, the headline says it all doesn't it?

Until FanDuel prices him at $100, it's a hard pass on Escobar.
