BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only or Deep Mixed Leagues
OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Asdrubal Cabrera is not going to be the Asdrubal Cabrera we saw put up 25 and 17 in 2011, but that doesn't mean he can't help your fantasy team. Now a member of the Rays, Cabrera will have 76 games against AL East pitchers, a group that holds just one guy-- fellow Ray Alex Cobb-- who posted a sub-3.30 ERA in 2014.
If Spring Training is any indication, Cabrera will get a chance to bat third, likely between rookie Steven Souza and slugger Evan Longoria, giving Cabrera ample RBI and run-scoring opportunities. He managed to hit .294/.371/.478 with 10 HR and 53 RBI in 347 when batting in the three hole over the last three seasons.
At just 29 years old, Cabrera could be poised for a bounce-back season in his new home. He should be owned in every AL-Only league, every 12-team mixed league, or any 10-team mixed league that has a MI roster spot.
