BALLER MOVE: Add and platoon in 14 team leagues or deeper
OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: Frankly, this guy is Jimmy Paredes 2.0. He has power, but can be streaky and a drain on your team's average.
Last year in 481 AB's Schoop hit 16 big flies and recorded 45 RBI, but only hit .209 with an atrocious .244 OBP. This year in 81 AB's, he's hitting .269 with six bombs and 14 RBI. The red flag here is his 25.9% K rate, so if your league penalizes strikeouts stay away.
The positive takeaway from Schoop though, is that he rakes against righties and especially at Camden Yards. In general against righties, Schoop is hitting .314 with five homers and 12 RBI. In Baltimore, he hits .438 against right-handers with four homers and eight RBI.
You see what I'm getting at here. Schoop could be a solid guy to spot start when he faces righties and when he's at home. Playing him full time on the other hand will likely just do more damage than good to your team.
