BALLER MOVE: Add in Any Leagues for SB
ANALYSIS: Eric Young Jr. returned Monday from a right hamstring strain and was immediately inserted into the Mets' line-up in the 9th slot. He subsequently moved up to the lead off slot on Wednesday. With Juan Lagares (out since June 2) apparently headed for a minor league rehab assignment and Chris Young slumping and making Mets' $7.25 million signing look quite bad so far, Young Jr. should get full time action for the time being. Experienced fantasy managers know what to expect from Young, Jr., a .254 lifetime batter with top 10 SB potential and a very good source of runs. Both categories will be enhanced if he remains as the Mets' lead-off hitter. Young Jr., owned in only 20% of yahoo leagues is clearly an add in deeper and NL only leagues and can be grabbed in any league for steals.
