Luis Valbuena (2B / 3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Valbuena has evolved into a somewhat steady source of power in 2015. The veteran lefty has slugged 16 homers so far to go along with 35 runs scored and 30 RBIs. Four of those home runs and 10 of the RBIs have come in his last 15 games, which proves he’s not slowing down from his hot power start. As great as the home runs are, the batting average is a tough pill to swallow. Valbuena is hitting .185 on the season with plenty of strikeouts, making him more useful in roto than points formats. As long as the homers keep coming though, he has value in either format.
