In his first full season in the Bronx, New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/a> earned his second career All-Star nod and finished the year by slashing .242\/.332\/.481 with an .813 OPS and career-highs in home runs (31) and RBI (80). He also had 31 stolen bases and a career-high 75 runs scored in 130 regular-season games. In what will be a contract year if he doesn’t reach a long-term extension with the Bombers, the 27-year-old infielder could have another strong season in pinstripes. Chisholm’s power\/speed combination is rare for a player who qualifies at the keystone, and it helps mask some of his liabilities. The former Miami Marlins second baseman is streaky, has a lengthy injury history, and has struck out almost 28% of the time in his six-year big-league career. Fantasy managers are mostly comfortable with sacrificing some average at the 2B position for Chisholm’s power\/speed upside, especially with the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium.–Keith Hernandez<\/a>
