SCOUT ANALYST JOHN BOLLMAN'S TAKEKieboom doesn’t have an easy job replacing Anthony Rendon, but he has a great opportunity to immediately contribute for the defending champions. Kieboom is competing with Starlin Castro and Asdrubal Cabrera for a starting spot but should be in the everyday lineup before long. In AAA last season as a 21 year old, Kieboom hit over .300 and had a .409 OBP. Kieboom could hit .275 with 20 HRs this season. REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANKYou can expect Carter Kieboom to be a good bench player who will start in certain weeks the rest of the season. His 292.29 projected fantasy points puts him at #34 behind Brandon Crawford and ahead of Johan Camargo. He has averaged 1.18 fantasy points in his past 11 games, which is less than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 2.39 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#67) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. In 11 games last season he was the #49 ranked shortstop. CARTER KIEBOOM WEEK 3 AND 4 FANTASY OUTLOOKCarter Kieboom is projected for 11.31 fantasy points in 5 games in week 3 which ranks him as the #34 projected shortstop for the week and a starter for most fantasy teams. This is projected to be a better than average week with more fantasy points per game than he is projected to average per game the rest of the season. He is ranked above Elvis Andrus but behind Orlando Arcia. Week 4 is projected to be slightly better based on projected rank (#31). He is projected for 11.72 fantasy points.
