BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 59% Yahoo
ANALYSIS: Andrelton Simmons has always been well-known for his transcendent work in the field, but he's flashing some offensive skill this season. After hitting just .256 in his first three-plus seasons as a major league, Simmons is on pace to replicate last season's .281 batting average. He's also got eight home runs and 13 stolen bases this year - the former is as many as he hit in the previous two seasons combined, and the latter has already eclipsed the career high of 10 he set in 2016. Along with Cameron Maybin and the recently resurgent Kole Calhoun, Simmons has helped the Angels improbably hang around in the wild-card race despite Mike Trout's injury and the continued decline of Albert Pujols.
Simmons will always be a more valuable player in real life thanks to his glove, but he's improved enough at the plate to be a contributor on any fantasy team.
