Addison Barger Hitting .423 Since Recall
5 months agoToronto Blue Jays utility man Addison Barger went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Red Sox, including a double which was his first extra-base hit of his MLB career. The 24-year-old has now hit safely in all four games since his recall, going 6-for-14 (.423) with two RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base. The former sixth-round draft pick has yet to hit his first MLB home run but had 66 of them in 1581 minor league at-bats, so managers looking for some power upside could add the youngster in nearly all Yahoo leagues. The left-handed hitter is also eligible at 3B, SS, and OF, so managers have some flexibility in how he is deployed.
