BALLER MOVE: Buy Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
ANALYSIS: It has been hard to watch Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on offense at times this season. He currently has a .231 batting average, three home runs, 11 RBI, and 29 strikeouts across 32 games. That start surely has fantasy managers panicking in the first month of the season.
However, Guerrero has gotten a little bit unlucky at the plate so far in 2024. His expected batting average (.274) is 43 points higher than his actual batting average (.231). The slugging first baseman also ranks in the top half of the league in several categories, including average exit velocity (92.3 mph), hard-hit rate (53.3%), and walk rate (12.9%).

Of course, Guerrero has had some woes in the first 32 games, but it is a great sign to see him hitting the ball hard this early in the year. Eventually, that will even out as the warmer weather hits. That's why now is the perfect time to acquire him before he gets on a roll at the plate. Another 30-home run, 100-RBI season certainly seems attainable for the 25-year-old.
