BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: With Dee Gordon suspended, Derek Dietrich has been handed the starting job at second base. So far, he’s running with it, hitting .323/.408/.597. Dietrich hit 10 homers in 289 plate appearances last season, so the pop is real. The average is probably headed down, but he is making more and better contact than prior seasons so far. He’s already worth rostering in deep and NL-only leagues, and will force his way into mixed-league relevance if he can keep hitting at even close to this level moving forward. The positional flexibility certainly won’t hurt his case.
