Simpson’s elite speed profile positions him as a potential league-leading basestealer by season’s end, provided he lands regular at-bats in the Rays’ fast-track system. If he translates speed into stolen bases and maintains a solid on-base approach, he becomes a valuable scintillating late-add.

Simpson is a value play for Rays in a matchup that looks ripe for a multi-hit game from a leadoff hitter who could set the table for Caminero and Díaz. He adds speed upside at a discount, creating a flexible Rays stack that can exploit Schlittler’s command and keep ownership down.

Simpson’s speed of 34 steals in 74 games and a .307 AVG makes him a legitimate SB-and-AVG asset. His elite sprint speed and contact rates support continued value as a table-setter and occasional run producer, especially in deeper rosters needing speed and AVG.

Simpson’s speed and leadoff profile yield stolen-base upside, especially with Rays’ aggressiveness on the basepaths. He’s an affordable piece to pair with Caminero or Gurriel to inject speed and correlation into the Rays’ portion of lineups.

Simpson’s speed and leadoff role in Tampa Bay put him on the radar for stolen-base weeks and runnable runs. His steady hitting and recent hot stretch make him a sneaky weekly contributor in steals and runs.
