BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: DeShields, who celebrates his 23rd birthday today, got himself an early gift with his first major league homer on Friday. Though big flies will likely be few and far between for the light-hitting center fielder, his true value lies in his speed and plate discipline. These attributes have led to him being installed as the leadoff hitter for the Rangers, making him an asset in runs as well. Despite logging only three innings at the position this season, DeShields is also 2B-eligible. His numbers compare favorably to Billy Burns, who’s owned in nearly three times as many leagues and doesn’t offer the same positional flexibility.
