6 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows hit a home run off Justin Verlander to open the season on Thursday. He went 1-for-4 on the day, with the homer being his only hit. Later in the game he also made a nice sliding catch in the field. Batting leadoff for the Rays combined with his power and speed should make for a very intriguing year for the 23-year-old. If he sees everyday at-bats out of the leadoff spot, expect his 64 percent ownership (in Yahoo leagues) to increase quickly. He's worth an add in all formats.--Zach Alexander
