2021 Fantasy Outlook
Adrianza was coming off his best season at the plate in 2019 as Minnesota's utility infielder, but took a step back last year. He hit just .191 with a .557 OPS. Despite drawing more walks (10.9%), he struck out more frequently (22.8%). His power took a hit, as he failed to hit a home run and had a .270 SLG. He did bounce back after an off year with the glove, posting positive metrics at shortstop (1 SRS), second base (1 DRS) and decent marks at third base (-1 DRS). Adrianza doesn't do much for fantasy purposes with few home runs and stolen bases. However, his versatility (he played the outfield and first base in 2019), above-average glove and switch hitting will likely find him in a utility role again. Read Past Outlooks

Joins Atlanta on minors deal
Adrianza signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Adrianza has spent eight years in the majors as a useful enough utility man, though he shouldn't be relied on for much more than that. His career .244/.310/.360 slash line gives him a shot at a bench role considering that he can play anywhere except catcher and center field, but he'll have to prove that his awful .191/.287/.270 line in 101 plate appearances last season was just a small-sample fluke.

Adrianza had the best season of his career at the plate as he showed increasing power and made better contact. Still, it was just his first season with an above-average bat (102 wRC+). Adrianza was Minnesota's primary utility infielder who could also be used in the outfield in a pinch. He somehow ended up starting 20 games at first base even though better hitting options were usually on the bench and he struggled with the glove. Despite a reputation for a being a strong defender, he was below average in most defensive metrics at second base and shortstop (both -2 DRS). He did miss a month with an abdominal issue. He'll need to bounce back with his glove because his bat isn't strong enough to keep a big-league job with just average fielding skills. He doesn't do much for fantasy purposes with few home runs and stolen bases. However, he should begin the season as Minnesota's utility infielder.
