BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed and NL-Only Leagues
Owned In: 5% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: The 27-year-old Ben Paulsen has provided the Rockies with a boost, and he has the ability to play first base or either corner outfield position. Through 56 plate appearances, Paulsen is hitting .333 with four home runs, nine runs scored and nine runs batted in with an impressive .647 slugging percentage. He’s got a ridiculously high BABIP right now, but it’s nearly right in line with his career average between minor league ball and the majors. He boasts a super impressive 31 percent line drive rate and shouldn’t have too much trouble finding gaps for doubles and triples in the spacious outfield at Coors. Paulsen has likely played his way into a nearly every day role, even after Justin Morneau and Corey Dickerson return from injury. Anytime you have the chance to add a guy like Paulsen – who has multi-position eligibility, solid power and plays half of his games in the thin air of the Rocky Mountains – you have to do it.
