Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 48% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: We can all laugh about Marcus Semien's bumbling efforts to play shortstop, but that isn't stopping him from hitting for nice power yet again in 2016.

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 32% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: When you are a team like the Cubs who has exciting young talent at every position knocking the ball 400 feet every night, it is almost obnoxious to have a utility prospect simultaneously thriving like Javier Baez.
