BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: You may see the lack of counting stats and wonder why I'm recommending that you pick up Asdrubal Cabrera. Well for one thing, shortstop is incredibly shallow. Cabrera also has no one really vying for his playing time, and he hits in a pretty good lineup. He's hitting over .300 on the season, and has averaged 15 homers over the last four seasons so there is actually still some upside here.

Cabrera won't steal much, but he should still be a decent source of runs scored. His BABIP is .362, which is high, but doesn't suggest any devastating regression. 65 runs and 55 RBI are pretty doable for the veteran. He's not an exciting option at shortstop, but he's reliable. If you don't have one of the top options, he's definitely worth adding. Trust me, you could do a lot worse than Cabrera.
