BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 23% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It was another frustrating week for Blaze Alexander as the 24-year-old rookie found himself on the bench twice so that the Diamondbacks could start inferior hitters. We thought when Arizona optioned Jace Peterson and his .211 batting average back to the minors, Alexander would simply be the team's everyday shortstop. We were wrong, as 30-year-old journeyman Kevin Newman started twice at shortstop last week.
Despite being on the bench more than we'd prefer, Alexander remains a highly recommended fantasy option as he continues to mash baseballs. Through 23 games, Alexander is slashing a hearty .313/.405/.531 with 12 runs and 13 RBI. He's been stuck on three homers for a while but he just missed his fourth last week in Seattle and he does have five doubles. His defense at shortstop clearly remains an issue, but he has been starting occasionally at DH, and sooner or later it should become clear to the powers-that-be in Arizona that Alexander's bat belongs in their lineup; he should be in fantasy lineups, as well.
