If you’ve never heard it used in a fantasy sense, to “plant your flag” in a player basically means that said player is your guy. Someone who you will reach for in standard drafts, overpay for in auctions and offer up whatever it takes in a trade. Plant your flag players are players that you are fully backing and expect big things out of and you’ll defend them until your last breath goes out.

So we reached out to each of the baseball contributors to get their plant your flag guys. Today we are sharing their outfielders and tomorrow we’ll share their pitchers, both starters and relievers.

Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this one before. 

A former top prospect?

Who hits the ball hard?

And swings even harder?

While whiffing a bunch?

Yup, sign me right up for a bunch of shares of Jordan Walker this spring please. 

Still just 22-years-old when we reach Opening Day this year, Walker has less of a track record in MLB to fall back on, but he graduated prospect lists as the highest ranked among all my other crushes so there is pedigree at play here as well.
