Fantasy Baseball Draft Targets: Justin Turner, Luis Rengifo, Willi Castro (2024)

When searching for positional flexibility, know your league settings. Yahoo, ESPN, and others have different league settings, which may give players even more flexibility. In this article, I’ll highlight a handful of players who have positional eligibility in at least three positions and are drafted around pick 100 or later. Let’s look at players who could make your roster construction even more flexible.

Top Multi-Positional Players

Justin Turner (1B,2B,3B – TOR)

Turner should play nearly every day as a new member of the Jays. He is penciled into the DH role, but he could spend time at third and second bases, as Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Cavan Biggio should not keep Turner off the field. Last year, Turner played in 146 games for the Red Sox and hit .276, giving him 11 straight seasons with a batting average of .275 or higher. Turner also hit 23 home runs, giving him at least 23 home runs in three of the last four seasons (excluding 2020). Turner may be getting older, but he’s still a strong four-category producer with eligibility for three infield positions.

Luis Rengifo (2B,3B,SS,OF – LAA)

Rengifo has hit .264 with 16 home runs in the last two seasons while playing only 126 and 127 games. He has tossed in six steals each season while combining for over 90 runs and RBI. Those stats came in a super-utility role, showcased by his positional flexibility, but he should be more than that this season. Rengifo should become a regular in the Angels’ lineup and should be leading off a lot of the time. He could hit over 20 home runs and steal over 10 bases while going extremely late in drafts.

Willi Castro (2B,3B,OF – MIN)

Castro flourished in his 124 games last season, as he filled in all over the diamond for the Twins due to the team’s injuries. He hit .257 with nine home runs and 33 stolen bases. Castro has played at least 112 games each of the last three seasons, and I would be shocked if he does not play over 120 games again this year. The Twins have a lineup of injury-prone players, and Jorge Polanco has also been traded. If Castro runs into a lot of playing time again, there should be another productive fantasy season in store for the late-round Castro.
