Wilmer Flores (2B/3B/SS, NYM) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 5% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Despite the Mets’ pathological unwillingness to hand him a starting job, New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores continues to produce when called upon. Since the start of the 2016 season, the 26-year-old has produced the following line (prorated to 600 PA): .269 AVG, 66 R, 27 HR, 85 RBI. First called up as a shortstop, the 26-year-old has found a way to stay in the lineup by playing all over the infield.

Since the middle of June, when he took over for the released Adrian Gonzalez as the primary first baseman, Flores is hitting .304/.333/.565 with four homers and 22 R+RBI in 20 games. He has also only been hitless one time since June 22, even though he only has three multi-hit games since June 15.

Until the Mets staple him to the bench in favor of some jabroni for the millionth time, he is worth owning in many fantasy formats. His ability to play all over the diamond is very nice and he can be owned as depth in deeper leagues.
