New York Yankees

The Yankees have signed the second baseman Neil Walker to a one-year deal. The signing immediately limits the major league playing time for several rookies. The 32-year-old Walker has been a steady above-average hitter since joining the league. In just 448 plate appearances last season, he hit .265 with 14 home runs. He’s no longer a threat on the bases and did not steal a single base last season. In a full season of plate appearances, he’s likely to hit 20 home runs with a .270 AVG.

The Flash Forward series takes a long-term look at a new young player each week, projecting the type of player they'll be five years from now.  Superstar catchers are hard to come by as far as fantasy baseball is concerned. There really isn’t a catcher, not named Buster Posey, who has been a consistent fantasy stud year in and year out. Five years down the line, there’s a good chance we’ll be thinking of Gary Sanchez the same way we think of Posey. Sanchez already has a season and a half under his belt, and I expect a lot…

The Yankees' power-hitting youngster steps into the box ... stop me if you've heard this one before. Greg Bird has many of the same skills as his superstar teammates, without the success or track record. Newly acquired slugger Giancarlo Stanton produced an MVP season where he led all of baseball in home runs and somehow managed 255 combined runs/RBI on a team that lost more games than it won.
