According to research performed by YES Network, Castro and Gregorius, both 26 years old, formed the Yankees' youngest regular starting middle infield pairing since 2B Willie Randolph and SS Bucky Dent began a three-year run in 1977, when Randolph was 22 and Dent was 25. Returned to 10-day disabled list from July 23 (retroactive to July 22)-Aug. 25 with a right hamstring strain, missing 31 games. He’ll have a pin inserted to speed along the healing. With his 21HR and SS Didi Gregorius hitting 20HR, the duo became just the third 2B/SS combo, aged 26-or-younger, in Major League history to each hit at least 20HR, joining Houston's Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa in 2016 and Seattle's David Bell and Alex Rodríguez in 1999 (credit: YES Network).
And you know what, he’s actually got the second base job going into the season. Use him in daily leagues, and Alberto could be an excellent batting average asset as a deep sleeper.Fantrax was one of the fastest-growing fantasy sites of 2019 and we’re not letting our foot off the pedal now!

Starlin Castro Fantasy Outlook For 2020 Grey Albright Player Summary Signed with the Nats as they made a clean break from Zimmerman for Castro, because they are anti-semites and Communists and I don’t believe Zimmerman is actually Jewish or Castro is a Fidel, but here we are. January 7, 2020: Washington Nationals signed free agent 2B Starlin Castro. But, it’s a bit more generous to right-handed hitters, as they aren’t trying to hit the ball over a brick wall and into the cove.Dubon should be a candidate to lead-off for the Giants this season with his contact skills and speed.
He signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Nationals in January. His 8RBI from 4/5-7 were most by any player in his first three games as a Yankee since RBI became an official stat in 1920 (previous: Bob Tillman, 6RBI in 1967; Todd Greene, 6RBI in 2001 and Wilson Betemit, 6RBI in 2007)…since 1920, became the third Yankee with as many as 8RBI in the team's first three games of a season, joining Babe Ruth (1932) and Bill Dickey (1934), who each had nine…his 7RBI through his first two games with the club were also a franchise record (previous: Todd Greene, 6RBI in 2001)…was the first Yankee with XBHs in each of the team's first three games of a season since 2011 (Mark Teixeira). One of the more intriguing positions in fantasy baseball this season is second base.
