BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues
OWNED IN: 8% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Adam Frazier hasn’t had a strong start but he’s at least getting a few hits now and then; he's got a hit in each of the last five games. Frazier owns the leadoff spot and possesses a solid bat with a bit of speed and pop (one homer/two stolen bases). He’s a solid all-around player, just not great at any one this. The Pirates lineup lost one of its better players, Starling Marte, but welcomed another back from injury, Gregory Polanco. Behind Frazier still sits a few guys that can hit for power to drive him in. As such, Frazier and his .344 OBP will look to tally runs for your roster with the potential for the occasional stolen base. Unfortunately, he’ll only have five games this week to accomplish that with two games in Texas before returning home to face the Athletics. He doesn’t have much of a platoon split but he’ll enjoy his .277 career batting average against right-handed pitchers when he sees four of them this week. He might even put one over the wall in homer-friendly Globe Life Park.
