Neil Walker Homers Off Max Scherzer
6 years agoMiami Marlins third baseman Neil Walker hit a home run off Nationals starter Max Scherzer on Friday, bringing his on-base percentage in March to .344 and his slugging percentage to .633. That makes four home runs this spring for the veteran, who is slotted to regularly bat third against righties and can also play first base. Walker is a bit of a forgotten player who won't get a lot of fantasy love due to his new team. But he only needs consistent at-bats, which won't be a problem on a rebuilding team like the Marlins, to provide sneaky fantasy value. If he continues to hit solidly, he makes a good player to slot into your MI position.
