Now that Yoenis Cespedes has re-signed with the reigning National League Champions one may wonder if he can continue his magical run from the second half of 2015. Cespedes was a monster in the Big Apple last season, posting a .942 OPS that would have ranked third amongst outfielders behind only Bryce Harper and Mike Trout had he maintained it for the entire season.
Cespedes set career highs in 2015 in nearly every offensive category and it's likely that they will remain career highs at the end of 2016. Cespedes' high strikeout totals are costly in point leagues and will prevent him from being a top fifteen outfielder moving forward. His power numbers will likely regress to the 25 home run range, leaving you with an outfielder that should be drafted in the fifth round or later.
