DREW SILVA: George Springer is gone to Toronto or Dunedin, Florida, or Buffalo or wherever the Blue Jays are going to be playing this year, but the Astros have a rising star in their outfield with 24-year-old Kyle Tucker. It took him a few seasons to establish an everyday role in Houston, and he sort of had an up-and-down first three weeks during the delayed 2020 campaign, but the former top-10 prospect posted a .309 batting average and .981 OPS with eight home runs, five triples, and five stolen bases over his final 39 games last year.
Extrapolated out to 162 games, that's a 34-homer, 21-steal pace. Tucker was a force in the minor leagues with 50 total homers and 50 total steals during his short time at triple-A, and he looks poised for a spot in the heart of what could be an excellent Astros lineup that is littered with bounce-back candidates. Tucker has that attractive power-speed profile that all fantasy managers crave and the overall talent to be a five-category stud this year and for many years to come.
