September 6, 2022

The Angels released Gosselin on Wednesday.

ANALYSIS
Since Gosselin has more than three years of MLB service time, he was able to reject an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake upon clearing waivers last week and instead elected free agency. Gosselin will attempt to land a minor-league deal elsewhere during the final month of the season, though he could draw limited interest after slashing .149/.182/.176 in 77 plate appearances in the majors between stops with Atlanta and the Angels this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could get called up

3BAtlanta Braves

June 14, 2022

Gosselin could get a call-up from Atlanta in order to increase the team's defensive versatility, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic.

ANALYSIS
Gosselin is not known for his offensive ability, but he thrives on defense and is capable of handling multiple positions. That's a plus for Atlanta since the team is a bit thin in terms of versatility following the foot injury of Ozzie Albies, as it has forced Orlando Arcia to play at second on a regular basis. Gosselin seems to have the inside track to get the call-up, since manager Brian Snitker is quite familiar with him.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021

2017

2016

2015

The Angels loss was Gosselin's gain in 2021, as he was able to utilize his defensive versatility and the lengthy absences of Anthony Rendon, Mike Trout and Justin Upton to log a career-high 373 plate appearances. In total, he earned over 20 starts at first base, third base and the outfield, and regularly hit third and fourth in the Angels depleted lineup. Despite all these positives, the story remained largely the same on Gosselin. He posted a .101 ISO and .297 wOBA. Though he graded out with 95th percentile sprint speed, he managed only four stolen bases on six attempts. His only truly notable skill was a relatively strong contact rate (21.7 K%), which helped him maintain a respectable - but empty - .261 average. Gosselin should have the chance to find a bench role with a team in 2022 - particularly if the National League adds a designated hitter - after being non-tendered by the Angels, but even with playing time Gosselin isn't likely to provide meaningful production in most league formats.

The suburban Philadelphia native won the hearts of Phillies fans with some timely hits early in his second season with the team, though his overall performances certainly weren't anything too special. His 94 wRC+, the product of a .250/.324/.402 slash line, was respectable enough and represented the second-highest mark of his eight-year career, though it wasn't enough to earn him an everyday role or to give him much fantasy value, especially as he homered just three times and didn't steal a single base. The late-career renaissance could keep Gosselin around in a bench role for a few more seasons, where his ability to fill in almost everywhere around the diamond certainly has value, but a team would likely be unhappy if they're stuck giving regular starts to a player who owns a career 81 wRC+.

Gosselin played all over the field for the Diamondbacks in a reserve role last season. His primary position was second base, where he played 35 games, but he also made 10 appearances at third, six at first and three in the outfield. His versatility as a backup is an asset to the Diamondbacks, but it doesn't matter much in fantasy if he's not playing close to every day. Gosselin logged 220 at-bats in 2016 and slashed .277/.324/.368. The 220 at-bats were more than double the 106 he received in 2015 with Atlanta and Arizona, so the uptick in opportunities was a pleasant surprise. However, following a trade to a Pirates organization that features a multitude of other options at each position he plays, Gosselin seems unlikely to match last season's playing time.

Gosselin was acquired from Atlanta in a June trade that sent veteran pitcher Bronson Arroyo and pitching prospect Touki Toussaint to the Braves. He primarily played as a reserve infielder for the Diamondbacks, though he did make several appearances in the outfield. In his limited MLB experience over the past three seasons (261 total plate appearances), Gosselin has hit .288, so he has shown some promise at the plate. Playing time will be the key to his 2016 fantasy outlook. In a reserve role, Gosselin is of course limited, but if he is able to find his way into semi-regular playing time, Gosselin could be a decent option if he maintains his high average over more plate appearances. For now, he’s not really on the radar as a fantasy asset in most leagues.

Gosselin broke out at Triple-A Gwinnett last season, slashing .344/.379/.487 with five homers and six steals in 96 games, earning a promotion to the big club shortly after the All-Star break. He was used sparingly at first, but as he continued to hit in a limited role and Tommy La Stella continued to struggle, the decision was made to give Gosselin an audition in the starting role in September. While Gosselin failed to do much with the extending playing time, notching just three extra-base hits in the month, it looks like he may get an opportunity to start at second base to begin 2015, with La Stella since shipped to the Cubs. The 26-year-old Gosselin will likely prove little more than a placeholder for 20-year-old Jose Peraza, who's considered by many to be the long-term solution at second base for the Braves, and Gosselin's lack of a track record at the major league level will put him outside of fantasy consideration outside the deepest of leagues come draft day.
