Dexter Fowler

One of the big hitters who was a huge part in the Chicago Cubs finally breaking their World Series drought, Dexter Fowler had a solid year in 2016. He hit .276 with 13 home runs and 13 stolen bases. He is a guy who can provide some power and speed. He can also play center field and lead off too.

While Fowler can provide a little more versatility, he is definitely not the same feared slugger that Cespedes is, so he won’t impact a lineup the way Ces has.

Other than God, sports are my biggest love. My teams are the Mets, Knicks, NY Giants, NY Rangers and St Johns basketball (St. John's alumni). I especially love the Mets like crazy, more than any other team and seeing them win the World Series would be a dream come true and definitely the best sports moment. The Knicks are a close second. I also like to write, so combine that with my passion for sports equals a perfect scenario, I would love to do sports writing long term. If not that, then probably sports broadcasting, cause I love to talk sports as well. In addition to writing for ESNY, I'm also currently writing for Metsmerizedonline.
