Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger starts this week among the top 10 options on the ESPN Fantasy Player Rater and third at his position after Mookie Betts and Mike Trout, and I cannot help but feel like we have been here before. Oh yeah, we were here last year when Haniger hit .342 with four home runs in 21 April games before an oblique strain shut him down until June. Then he did not hit and fantasy managers were no longer interested. Haniger hit .282 over 96 games with 16 home runs but it took a small leap of faith to regard him as a top-50 outfielder for 2018.
Is another letdown coming from the red-hot Mitch Haniger?
