BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed, NL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: Danny Espinosa averaged 19 homers and 19 steals in his two seasons as a regular, albeit with middling batting averages. He’s spent the last few years serving as a utility man, but with Ian Desmond departing as a free agent this winter, the Nats have entrusted Espinosa with the starting shortstop job. Most figured it would only be a matter of time before prospect Trea Turner took over, but Espinosa and his glorious mustache have done everything in their power to prevent that. He’s cracked eight homers in his last 17 games, hitting .288 and totaling 29 R+RBI over that span despite hitting in the bottom third of the order. Espinosa is eligible at every infield position save catcher in Yahoo leagues.
