Vidal Bruján News
Tampa Bay Rays prospect Vidal Brujan had two hits including a double on Sunday. The young player is now 4-for-13 (.308) with a BB-K of 2-5 this spring. Also of note, Brujan played right field for the first time. It was the fourth different position for the speedy 23-year-old who has also seen time at his natural position of second base along with shortstop and center field. The versatility improves Brujan's fantasy value and also improves his chances of having an impact at the MLB level in 2021. He spent the 2020 season at the club's alternate training site but stole 48 bases in 2019 while splitting the year between high-A and double-A.
Along with Tampa Bay Rays top prospect Wander Franco, who is the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, starting pitcher/designated hitter Brendan McKay and infielder Vidal Brujan also made the team's player pool for the upcoming 60-game season. McKay and Brujan are the team's No. 2 and 3 prospects, respectively, per MLB Pipeline. McKay, a 24-year-old left-handed, is a two-way player that has more upside for his arm than his bat. He has No. 3 potential in fantasy, but it's unclear exactly how Tampa will use their rotation in a shortened season. The southpaw had a 5.14 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 56 K's in 13 outings (11 starts) for Tampa in 2019. Brujan profiles better at the keystone and could develop into a dynamic, top-of-the-order presence in years to come.

Brujan's hopes of being an impactful player at the MLB level in 2021 could hinge on the health of Brandon Lowe, the Rays' versatile breakout star who should spend most of his time at second base this season. Brujan is a natural hitter who has shown the ability to hit .280-.300 with ease and he was on a run of two straight seasons with at least 48 stolen bases before the pandemic wiped out the entire 2020 minor league season. The downside to this young player is that he doesn't provide much current power although there are signs that he could eventually produce double-digit home runs on a regular basis. He possesses a small frame, but Brujan has a muscular build and a quick bat. With added maturity and some launch angle corrections, this young infielder could surprise fantasy managers with his pop. But we don't necessarily foresee that happening in 2021. Although the speedy infielder should make his MLB debut in the coming year and he could be a real weapon come playoff time thanks to his speed Brujan is a future waiver-wire acquisition in redraft leagues rather than a draft day target and a must-have in dynasty leagues (especially if your league includes steals).
