ANALYSIS: After his trade to the Tigers last year, Detroit Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario got off to a hot start. He batted .330 with two homers and a .874 OPS in 27 games.

Even though he is only batting .200 to start this young season, he already has six extra base hits and he has prospect pedigree. Facing favorable pitching matchups this week (Orioles and Royals, he has the potential to provide you with good power and run production, along with a decent average.

While he may not be as good as he was in 2017, it is unlikely that he will continue to as bad as he has been in the early going of 2018. This is a perfect opportunity to by low in all formats, particularly dynasty formats, and look for him to turn it around. Do not be dissuaded by his slow start and use him as a CI in deeper formats.
