Adams hit just .167/.250/.194 with no home runs in 40 plate appearances for the Rockies, but he could be picked up by a team looking for a left-handed power ...

Adams has received a surprising amount of playing time through the early going, which raises his value slightly, but he is solely a depth option in deeper NL-only formats for the time being.
