BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Since Jake Lamb cemented the demise of the Yasmany Tomas third base experiment, he has shown that he will be manning the hot corner for the Diamondbacks.
The .359 BABIP is a drastic improvement over 2014's .291 mark but with a larger sample size. If Lamb could have stayed healthy and gotten the at-bats needed, he could be building upon last year instead of recovering from it.
His .330 wOBA needs to keep climbing towards his minor league numbers, but his 23.7 K% must decline if he wants to be the long term solution at third base..
Lamb has an .827 OPS over the past few weeks to go along with a .283 BA and 5 XBH. He is hitting .279 for the year and his .339 OBP will improve when he gets more patient at the plate and raises his 8.1 BB%.
The front office belives in him and 3B has been a surprisingly deep position this year with lots of elite talent. Several leagues employ a CI spot and Lamb can fill that void very nicely for a team looking for a solid hitter.
