Trevor Plouffe (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ and AL-Only leagues.

OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: The only talk coming out of the Twin Cities that involved Trevor Plouffe this season was how long would it take for Miguel Sano to take his job?

The answer to that clearly has been that Mr. Plouffe still has a lot to give in the field and more importantly to fantasy owners staying fancy with his stick work.

Plouffe has comfortably put up a .255 BA with all-time or near all-time marks in OBP, SLG%, and OPS. His BB/K rate is up to .45 and his BABIP hangs around .285. Plouffe has still been mainly a pull hitter this year spraying the ball in that direction 41% of the time. Plouffe is also on pace to crush his previous high of 72 wRC as he sits at 50 right now.

The guy has some pop in his bat and plays at a important 3B position and has tremendous value as a CI on a deep roster. The average should top out around .270 this year which owners could do a lot worse in. Plouffe shouldn't hurt owners as he will have ample opportunities to increase his overall stat line as the Twins surge towards a playoff push for the first time in what seems like forever.

Middle of the order hitters normally aren't sitting on the wire and yet Plouffe is. He has hit no lower than 6th this year with most of his at-bats coming in the cleanup spot. At 43% owned some owners get that Plouffe can help them more than he can hurt them. He neither strikes out a lot nor walks a lot and should garner some attention for teams looking to feed their playoff needs.
