    Default Any reason to be ''Big on Puig', this year?

    Puig is currently ranked 1st in Yahoo fantasy leagues and he's already hit 3 homers. I jumped on him this morning and snagged him from the free agent pool in favour of Calhoun (I would have probably needed to drop Calhoun in a week or so when Osuna comes back... hopefully Puig gives me a reason to look for someone else to drop).


    Do you guys think this is his bounce back season, or is his current output just a result of a small sample size?

    I would buy in because of name value alone. He was a 2/3rd round pick last year and was just terrible. Just checked and he didn't hit his third dinger last year until mid May.

    He likely has more upside than your worst OF so I'd just do it and hope for the best.

    I'm not on the train, but he had nowhere to go but up from last year. He may well outperform Calhouln on the season, but I wouldn't be putting a lot of faith in anything more than that.

    Meh, he's got tons of talent but he mentally coasts. I picked him up because he was in Colorado i think and Bogearts went on NA so i had the slot. I'd love to have him in toronto, because i think his biggest obstacle is mentally staying in a game. Change of scene and a city he loves (dude had a massive hard on when he was here last yr) i personally think would help him more.
