That said, new manager Gabe Kapler promises all his outfielders will enjoy a lot of burn, keeping the sophomore outfielder in play for deeper mixed and NL-only formats. Williams' ability to play center field aids his cause. He could help it even more by exhibiting better plate skills, as his contact and walk rates both need work. Williams could also take better advantage of a strong HR/FB rate if he lofted more balls, as his near 50 percent groundball rate plays better for a speedster, not someone with above-average raw power. Barring an injury, Williams is slated to rotate with Aaron Altherr and Odubel Herrera. Those two may have a longer major-league track record, but neither possess the upside of Williams."},"mostRecentNews":{"date":"Fri Sep 21","news":"Williams (shoulder, hand) remains on the bench Friday against the Braves.","spin":"Williams will sit for the seventh time in eight games.
