BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Wilmer Flores was a guy I was touting back when I wrote about three shortstops who should outperform their average draft position, and he’s beginning to make me feel pretty good about including him in that piece. Like Flores, the season is still young and he is sure to have some growing pains. The big framed shortstop is swinging a big stick over the last few days.
For the season, he’s hitting a respectable .271 in 48 at-bats. Since April 16th, though, he’s been on a power tear, hitting three home runs and driving in seven runs with at least a hit in each contest. Scouts still have mixed opinions on his overall potential, but I do think 20-25 home runs this season is in reach. Shortstops are hard to come by, and ones with power (save for Tulo) are nearly extinct. He’s only 11% owned in Fleaflicker leagues, and frankly, I’m shocked more people are jumping on the everyday shortstop with pop. He's definitely worth an add off the waiver wire in deeper leagues, or those with middle infield slots.
