Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper rotoballer.com Sun 3/15/20 10:23 AM

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~240CURRENT ADP: ~268 overall (From March 1st to present)ANALYSIS: Randal Grichuk slashed .232/.280/.457 with 31 HR and 80 RBI in 2019. While the .232 average is not ideal, the home run and RBI production he provided for the Blue Jays cannot be understated. The RBI production came in large part because of the home run total, which was a direct result of his power. While Grichuk found himself below his career average in a number of metrics, he was still above league ...

Randal Grichuk Slugs Two Long Balls rotoballer.com Wed 3/11/20 10:16 PM

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk cranked a pair of long balls in Wednesday's 14-2 Grapefruit League thumping of the Orioles. He finished the afternoon going 3-for-3 with three runs and five RBI as he's now batting a crisp .320 this spring with three homers. Grichuk will serve as the everyday center fielder for the Jays this season, where he'll likely bat sixth most days in an improved lineup. The 28-year-old makes a cheap power source option in mixed-leagues after clubbing 31 homers ...

Randal Grichuk To Open As Starting Center Fielder rotoballer.com Fri 2/14/20 10:47 AM

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that the team's current plan is for outfielder Randal Grichuk to start the season as the starting center fielder. Grichuk hit .232/.280/.457 with a career-high 31 home runs and 80 RBI in 151 games in his second year in Toronto in 2019. The power is real and he's in a nice environment for that, but the 28-year-old will bring down your team's average and on-base percentage. Grichuk struck out a career-high 163 times last season and walked just 35...

Randal Grichuk 2020 Outlook: An Inexpensive Source of Power rotoballer.com Sat 2/1/20 10:38 PM

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk has flaws, but hes a relatively inexpensive source of power who had career highs in home runs (31), RBI (80), and at-bats (586) in 2019. He doesnt walk enough (5.6% BB rate) and strikes out too much (26.0% K rate), and that undisciplined approach, coupled with a career-low .266 batting average on balls in play, contributed to a career-low .232 batting average last season. The issue of plate discipline isn't likely to go away, and that has a negative ...

Randal Grichuk Gets Day Off Sunday rotoballer.com Sun 7/28/19 12:19 PM

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be a routine day off for Grichuk, so he should be back in there soon. Eric Sogard will bat leadoff and cover right field versus righty Yonny Chirinos. Sogard has been great at getting on base this season, so he could be a decent DFS option here. The Jays are open to trading Sogard at the trade deadline, so maybe this is them just trying to drive up his[...]

Happ. Grichuk will take over for Teoscar Hernandez, who has started nine of the team's last 12 games.
