Carlos Santana (CLE, 1B) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 56% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Carlos Santana has been recently used in both the leadoff role and cleanup spot of the Indians batting order, both of which have benefitted his fantasy value. Santana has scored six runs in six games while his early production, four home runs and 12 RBI, is also plenty serviceable for lineups. The ribbie opportunities are sure to decrease when he's batting in the one hole, but will again increase when he's cleaning up.

Santana is also capable of playing right field. Terry Francona considered making the switch when the Indians visited the Philadelphia Phillies last weekend, but left Santana at first. With the DH position disappearing during Interleague play, Francona could very well make the switch to keep Santana's bat in the lineup. This further ensures his AB for the season moving forward. Despite his low average and low .227 BABIP, Santana's K% is significantly lower than his career percentage, which means he continues to put the ball in play. The first base position is pretty spread out this season, with a ton of candidates who can drive the ball. Not many, if any, are being used in the leadoff spot, though.
