Fantasy Baseball: 10 Power/Speed Players to Target in 2018
If you like players who combine dingers and steals, here are a handful to keep an eye on during season-long drafts.

Byron Buxton - Minnesota Twins (OF)

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton got off to a slow start in 2017, but ramped things up with a ridiculously good second half, hitting 11 of his 16 homers after the All-Star break while batting .300/.347/.546. He also stole 29 bases, which was the fifth-most in baseball, so it's not crazy to think that he could inch closer to the 20-25 homer range while piling up 30 steals.

We project Buxton to hit 20 bombs and steal 30 bags with a .256 batting average and a .759 OPS. If his 2018 season is anything like his second half, he could exceed those power numbers.
