The Tampa Bay Rays went shopping overseas in their attempt to improve their offense over last year. They came back with one of the most prolific sluggers in Japan over the past few seasons.
Yoshitomo Tsutsugo has averaged 35 home runs per season over the past four years. The 28-year-old left-handed hitter proved himself as one of Nippon Professional Baseball’s top sluggers with a career .382 OBP and a homer every 13.89 at-bats over the past four seasons.
The big hesitation for fantasy players is playing time. The Rays are notorious for platooning players and exploiting matchups.
