Paul Goldschmidt News
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is getting the day off on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Goldy, along with Nolan Arenado, is getting a routine day of rest. The veteran first baseman has been incredible for the Cards this year, slashing .325/.413/.607 to go along with 35 home runs, 109 RBI, and six stolen bases over 499 at-bats. Albert Pujols is taking over at first base in his place and batting clean up.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt continued his torrid campaign Saturday, adding his 34th home run and sixth stolen base of the season. He went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored in an 8-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. With a 1.036 OPS, 97 runs scored, and 107 RBI on the season, Goldschmidt is the frontrunner to be the National League MVP, and fantasy managers have seen an enormous return on their draft-day investment.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt combined with Nolan Arenado to provide nearly all the offense in Friday's 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored. Goldschmidt has hit safely in eight of his last nine games with three consecutive multi-hit performances. He has an argument to be one of the very best fantasy values of the season with his 1.056 OPS, 30 homers, 84 runs scored, 96 RBI and five stolen bases in 479 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has proven to be a solid, albeit unspectacular fantasy producer over his two years in St. Louis. Goldschmidt, who turned 33 this past September, is no longer worth consideration in the first few rounds of drafts, but he's a reliable and consistent target to have your eye on at the start of the middle rounds. Goldschmidt slashed .304/.417/.466 with six home runs, 21 RBI and 31 runs over 58 games in 2020. Last year, he had a notable power drop off from 2019, when he hit 34 home runs. His home run to fly ball rate fell from 19.9% in 2019 to 10.7% in 2020. He also saw some slight decreases in his barrel-rate and hard-hit rate last year. However, he improved upon his plate discipline in 2020, lowering his strikeout rate from 24.3% in 2019 to 18.6% in 2020 while raising his batting average from .260 in 2019 to .304 last year. Goldschmidt should be able to provide sufficient numbers across the board in 2021 with a solid shot at reaching 30 home runs for the sixth time in his career. With first base being less stacked these days than in seasons prior, he provides an additional positional asset. Have him on your radar in the seventh round of drafts, especially if you're planning on taking some higher risk players with some earlier picks.
