Nationals' Michael Taylor: Could open as fourth outfielder

Taylor could open the season as the Nationals' fourth outfielder after the team traded for Ben Revere on Friday, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old Taylor was gaining steam as a fantasy sleeper in recent months, with many envisioning an everyday role in center field and perhaps atop the batting order. However, the acquisition of Revere hurts Taylor's outlook for playing time considerably. Increased time could always open up if there is an injury, but Taylor may play primarily against lefties to start.
