Neil Walker, 1B, New York Yankees

Price: $2,200

Neil Walker is an even cheaper way to get exposure to the high-powered Yankees' offense as he's priced only $200 above the minimum.

A good sign that Colon has not, in fact, found that unprecedented 44-year-old resurgence is that his batted-ball profile is the worst of his career. The 10.9% soft-hit rate he's forcing is only 0.2% above his previous career-low, and the 42.3% hard-hit rate he is allowing is a touch more than 5% higher than his previous career-high.

Walker is having a poor start to 2018, but his 40.0% hard-hit rate is on pace to be a career-high, while his 16.5% soft-hit rate isn't much higher than his career-average (15.3%).

A switch-hitter, Walker has done his best work against right-handed pitching over his career (.345 wOBA, compared to a .302 wOBA against southpaws), and he's way underpriced against Colon.
