BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: We all knew the kid was a wizard with the glove, but hitting was always the issue. Perhaps not this year. Jose Iglesias is off to a blazing hot start to the 2015, going 10 for 22 with 2 SB and 4 runs for the Detroit Tigers. At this point, you will be lucky to find Iglesias still lingering on the waiver wire in most formats.
Things looked very bleak for Iglesias just a few short weeks ago. The young fielding dynamo missed the entirety of 2014 with fractures in both of his shins. In his return this spring, he struggled mightily at the plate, sporting a .091 AVG coming into opening day. Since then, Iglesias is batting .455 and looks as nimble as any other player on the field. If Iglesias can continue to find ways to get on base, his upside will be huge in Detroit's loaded lineup.
As of now, manager Brad Ausmus still has the shortstop batting near the bottom of the order. If this level of prominence continues, expect Iglesias to possibly find himself atop the order ahead of a few guys you may already know. At the very least, the man can steal bases and will always wind up somewhere in the prolific Tigers lineup due to his indispensable abilities with the glove. Do not wait on this guy off the waiver wire much longer, or he'll be gone.
