BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: There's a saying in football that the most popular player on a losing team is the backup quarterback. Well, that same principle applies to underachieving baseball teams, particularly when the team in question is running out of the largest payroll in MLB history.
With a single in the first inning, Ronny Mauricio has now reached base in 18 consecutive games for Syracuse.

Mauricio leads all of minor-league baseball with 22 doubles and his electric blend of power and speed could be exactly what the Mets need to inject some life into its season.
