Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues
Owned in: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues
Analysis: I know that Trevor Plouffe is not one of the sexiest fantasy options in any format given his very average career numbers. However, balance that out with his ample opportunities hitting in the middle of a young lineup that produces a ton of power and your team will welcome Plouffe with open arms.
Even though his 3.8 BB% is the lowest it has been in his limited time this year, his 17% K rate is also his lowest. His ISO has been a great calling card despite his career .245 BA and .279 BABIP. His ISO has never been below .138 and with his current .451 SLG% Plouffe still remains a power outlet that many fantasy users should take advantage of.
If you stashed him during his latest injury your patience should pay off right away. If for some reason he is sitting out there on your waiver wire right now you can expect another 20+ HR campaign with the hopes that 90 RBI and a .270 BA can be on the horizon given a healthy rest of the season.
By no means is this a guarantee, but the power potential along with hitting between the likes of Miguel Sano, Byung-ho Park and Brain Dozier should make many owners salivate at the thought of a sneaky add early in the season to help jump-start their team right away.
