Fantasy value can be fluid based on projected playing time, player adjustments, and opportunity. With the unique Summer Camp setup this July, fantasy players have had less news and information to use going into the 60-game season. Still, there has been enough noise to adjust projected value following camp developments. These seven players saw their value increase significantly in July camp.

Franchy Cordero, OF, Royals
Scouts have salivated over Cordero’s offensive tools for years, but he simply couldn’t stay healthy in San Diego. He put up some epic Winter League numbers and showed 20/20 potential in the minors, particularly in 2017. Unfortunately, Cordero has appeared in only 79 games over the last three seasons with the Padres, and he missed most of 2019. Blocked by offseason acquisitions Tommy Pham and Trent Grisham, Cordero was shipped to the Royals in a trade last week. The path to playing time is far more wide open, with the likes of Alex Gordon and Bubba Starling standing in his way. Cordero would be a worthy flier if he finds the field regularly, and the rebuilding Royals have far more incentive than the Padres did to see what the 25-year-old can do.

Brian Goodwin, OF, Angels
Goodwin was terrific early last season when Justin Upton was injured, posting an OPS above 1.000 in April. He predictably regressed the rest of the way, but Goodwin did prove he could hit in the majors. Despite the loss of Kole Calhoun this offseason, it didn't look like Goodwin would gain much playing time with top prospect Jo Adell on the cusp of the majors. Joe Maddon apparently isn't blown away by Adell yet, which is great news for Goodwin's playing time. Goodwin hasn't proven he can help in shallow mixed leagues, but he could be a nice find in deeper formats.

Sam Hilliard, OF, Rockies
Hilliard (pictured) has shown inconsistency in his minor league career, but put it all together last season at age 25. The former 15th round pick had 35 home runs and 22 stolen bases at hitter-friendly Triple-A Albuquerque, and continued to rake when he got a chance in Colorado, hitting .273-7-13 with two steals in only 87 plate appearances. He was in a fight for playing time entering spring training, but Ian Desmond's decision to opt out of the season opened the door for Hilliard. He will still need to battle Raimel Tapia for at-bats, but the upside is obviously huge with Hilliard's power/speed combo in Coors Field.

Josh James, SP, Astros
A velocity increase made James into a top prospect in 2018, when he had 171 strikeouts in 114.1 innings between Double- and Triple-A and continued that performance into Houston. A deep rotation and control woes pushed James to the bullpen last year, but he's impressed enough during camp to rejoin the rotation for 2020. James pitched well in three spring outings, though obviously his control will be key. However, he does have a long leash on his rotation spot with several starting candidates injured, including Jose Urquidy, Austin Pruitt, and Brad Peacock.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa, C/3B, Rangers
Kiner-Falefa saw playing time behind the plate early last season, though the team basically gave up on those plans in the second half of the season. He still played enough to earn catcher eligibility in fantasy leagues this year, which is significant now. Kiner-Falefa has apparently played well enough in camp to earn the starting third base job, shifting Todd Frazier to first base. That's after reworking his swing and a very hot spring in which he hit .378-4-11 in 15 games. We should always be skeptical of spring training stats, especially for a player with a career .679 OPS in the minors, but beggars can't be choosers in two-catcher leagues. Kiner-Falefa did hit for average in the upper minors, as a career .275 hitter with 24 steals in nearly 1,100 career plate appearances at Double-A.

Jose Peraza, 2B/SS, Red Sox
Peraza might have gained the most value of any player in MLB during Summer Camp. An under the radar offseason addition by new Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, Peraza won the starting second base job over Michael Chavis. That might not seem like a big deal based on last year's struggles in Cincinnati, but his full track record shows Peraza could be 2020's Jonathan Villar. He swiped at least 21 bases in three consecutive seasons before last year and hit .288-14-58 with 23 steals and 85 runs as a regular for the Reds in 2018. Peraza was also a career .302 hitter in the minors who swiped over 60 bases in a season in the low minors. His spot in the batting order remains to be seen, but Peraza should get plenty of opportunities in a strong Red Sox lineup.
