Top Stars to Build Around

Ronald Acuña Jr., OF, Atlanta Braves
I mean, we all saw last season, right? That's when Acuña, in his age-25 season, produced perhaps the finest campaign the fantasy community has ever seen.
He had 41 homers and 73 stolen bases. Who does that? Literally no one. And that wasn't it. He also batted .337, reached base at a .416 clip and totaled 255 combined runs and RBI.
No one should expect a repeat, but his numbers are so far ahead of the pack, that he could lose a quarter of them (31 homers, 55 steals and 191 combined runs and RBI) and maybe still come out on top.
Julio Rodríguez, OF, Seattle Mariners
Rodríguez took a little while to get rolling last season, but once he found his footing, he was virtually unstoppable.
His first 78 games at least yielded 13 homers and 18 steals, but he finished the month of June with just a .238 batting average and a .302 on-base percentage. However, his first July outing was a three-hit effort, and his bat never slowed down. From that point forward, he was a .312/.364/.561 masher with 19 homers and 19 steals in 77 games.
With his blend of power and speed, he is a legitimate 40/40 threat. Make him the centerpiece of your fantasy roster, and you're effectively covered on all bases.
Top Prospects to Target

Jackson Chourio, OF, Milwaukee Brewers
Chourio is only 20 years old and has yet to take his first MLB at-bat, but it already feels safe projecting stardom for him. The $82 million deal he signed in December (which could grow in value to as much as $142.5 million) was the richest ever given to a player without Major League experience.
He has a real chance to hit the ground running—and slugging. In the 128 games he split between Double-A and Triple-A last season, he racked up 22 homers, 44 steals, 88 runs scored and 91 RBI.
Wyatt Langford, OF, Texas Rangers
Last summer's No. 4 pick, Langford spent last season overpowering just about every pitcher he faced in the minors, and he's so far doing the same in spring training. In 44 games across four levels last season, he had 10 homers and 12 steals to go along with a .360/.480/.667 slash line. This spring, he's had four homers, 10 runs and 10 RBI in just 12 outings.
He looks like a lock for the Rangers' opening day lineup, but even if he doesn't make the team out of camp, he clearly won't be down in the minors for long. The 22-year-old is loaded with star potential, and he just might realize it as soon as this season.
