2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Ben Copeland in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Selected by the A's in the 2009 Rule 5 Draft from the Giants' roster.

May 9, 2009
Copeland was designated for assignment on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The Rule 5 pick will be offered back to the Giants before the usual rules apply. Copeland wasn't going to play much in Oakland anytime soon anyway, so we'll have to see whether or not the Giants want to take him back. The move was made to clear a space for new second baseman Adam Kennedy on the 40-man roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2009
2008
Copeland posted a .751 OPS over 372 at-bats at Double-A last season and an .805 OPS over 85 at-bats at Triple-A Fresno. He also stole 24 bases and is adequate defensively in center field. Still, at age 25, there’s not much offensive potential. The A’s selected him in the Rule 5 draft, so he’ll battle to make it in Oakland as a reserve outfielder.
Selected by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2005 draft, Copeland hit .280/.387/.416 last year for High-A San Jose. He has good plate discipline, but with just seven homers in 404 plate appearances last year, he lacks in power. He'll probably move up to Double-A Connecticut this season, but Copeland projects as a future reserve at best.
