Jurickson Profar (2B/SS, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jurickson Profar was supposed to be a temporary call-up to replace the suspended Rougned Odor. The way he's hitting, it doesn't look like he's going back to the minors any time soon. All he's done since being inserted into the lineup is hit safely in all 12 games he has played, including a .389 AVG and 1.011 OPS. Profar's chances of taking over at second base are slim to none, since Odor is certainly in no danger of losing his job. Prince Fielder and Mitch Moreland on the other hand... With Moreland at .214 and Fielder at .193, the likelihood of the athletic middle infielder sliding into a corner spot is starting to look more feasible. Profar is currently seeing time at third base, as Adrian Beltre is dealing with a hamstring issue. If Beltre hits the DL, Profar's hot bat stays atop the Rangers lineup even longer. In dynasty leagues, Profar should already be owned universally. Mixed league owners shouldn't be shy about adding Profar in the short-term either.
