BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 31% of leagues
ANALYSIS: San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot has had a disappointing 2018 season after posting an ADP of 138 (36th among outfielders) this spring. Fantasy owners were clearly betting on the promising form Margot had flashed in the second half of last year when he looked like a viable 20/20 candidate. Instead, Margot has just five home runs and only has 10 stolen bases.
Those poor numbers mask the fact that the 23-year-old has quietly turned his season around as the year has progressed. Since the start of June, Margot has hit .297/.347/.456, but he is only 4-for-11 in steal attempts since the beginning of June. He is also hits atop the Padres' order, which has led to him scoring 27 runs in the same time period.
Margot is available in almost 70% of Yahoo leagues right now. Owners looking for a boost in runs, batting average, or steals should consider adding him to their rosters.
