• Nationals' Victor Robles: Option for ninth spot

  3D ago • By RotoWire Staff

He slashed an impressive .288/.348/.525 in 21 games last season, but with so many capable veteran hitters in the lineup, there is no room for Robles up top. Batting ninth will give him opportunities to run and leave him in position to be driven in by Washington's best hitters.

With Bryce Harper unlikely to return in 2019, it sounds like the top prospect is poised to take over as the team's starting center fielder.
