Nori Aoki (OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Aoki sustained a small fracture of his right fibula and missed a month. He’s looked a bit rusty at the plate since his return, but was having an excellent season prior to the injury. Batting primarily in the leadoff spot, Aoki has posted a .304/.370/.389 line with a dozen steals. The veteran should be a steady three-cat contributor for the remainder of the season, assuming the leg injury didn’t rob him of any speed.  He gets a boost in value if your league includes strikeouts for hitters – his 5.5 K% is the lowest of any hitter with at least 300 plate appearances.
