Perhaps no player has been more disappointing for fantasy managers than Marcus Semien. The Texas Rangers infielder was absolutely incredible with the Blue Jays last season, producing 45 homers and 15 steals. He won a Silver Slugger award, All-MLB first-team honors and was third in AL MVP voting. Sure, there were some reasons for pause after Semien relocated to Texas over the winter, but to most managers, he still seemed like a sure-fire star who would get plenty of plate appearances and counting stats.
Suffice it to say, things haven’t gone as planned for those who invested a top-40 pick in Semien.
