BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed and AL Only leagues
OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: In only nine games since returning from his last DL stint, Yonder Alonso has managed a .364 AVG with 1 HR and 8 RBI while batting cleanup in a strong San Diego Padres lineup. The recent success is nothing new, either, as the 28 year old was solid all season, hitting .342 across 35 games with 2 HR, 18 RBI, and 2 SB. He's even hit .429 against left handed pitching thus far in 2015, a vast improvement over his .251 career mark, albeit one that will likely prove difficult to sustain. Regardless, the first baseman has the likes of Matt Kemp and a red hot Will Venable batting before him, which should correlate to similar success in the near future, making him a worthy pickup in deep and AL Only leagues.
INTERESTING STAT: The gaping expanse of Petco Park has held Alonso to a .269 AVG at home this year, nearly 130 points lower than his .397 AVG on the road.
