Joe's career path took a bit of a dip last season as he struggled a bit with injuries, but also did not enjoy as much of the Coors Magic he enjoyed in 2021. The first base/outfield eligibility helps in NL-Only formats but the path to playing time is rather gray even after being traded to the Pirates. There is not a path to a starting job for him as long as everyone is healthy or locked down on the roster. There is not even a clear platoon situation which works out well because Joe's defensive limitations marginalize him to corner outfield or first base. The disciplined approach at the plate certainly makes it tough to give up on him, so remind yourself to draft skills not roles and hope something opens up for him. Read Past Outlooks
