2012
Constanza looked like a possible late bloomer after posting decent on-base numbers the past few years in the minors, but didn't get much notice from big league clubs. He finally got a shot in July when the Atlanta outfield was hit hard by injuries and he caught fire. He hit .372 with a .904 OPS and seven steals in his first 23 games, even supplanting Jason Heyward in the starting lineup for most of August. However, he was out of the lineup for a few days in late August with an ankle injury and lost his magic at the plate, hitting .129 with no stolen bases and falling into a reserve role the rest of the season. Constanza doesn't have enough power to maintain a regular job, but makes good contact, draws some walks and offers speed for fantasy purposes. He'll try to win a reserve outfield role again with Atlanta this spring.
