BALLER MOVE: Waiver Wire Stash In 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Alex Guerrero is simply not spoken about enough as a fantasy baseball commodity considering he is a 28 year polished hitter with an international signing bonus given only to superstar caliber players.
Why is it that a potential middle infield/corner infield/outfield eligible* stud who can hit .329 with 15 bombs and 49 RBI, to go along with a .613 slugging percentage and .979 OPS, not getting regular major league at bats? Well RotoBallers, the reason is that his defense at third base is not quite yet up to the standards that a contending club wants to put up with, and that's where he's projected to end up given the recent trade for 2B Howie Kendrick. (* check your league for his exact eligibility)
While it's hard to believe that a creaky and old Juan Uribe is holding down the hot corner in sunny southern California, for now at least this is the harsh and petty reality we must deal with. That being said, it's only a matter of one little injury tweak or a bad 10-14 day offensive slump before the young, studly, and overpaid Alex Guerrero starts having a big league and fantasy league impact.
Target this polished young man on your waiver wires and definitely keep him on your watch list because we see a bright future for this very skilled professional hitter much sooner than you think in 2015.
