“Uncover the Next Fantasy Baseball Gems: Is Jose Soriano the Breakout Star You’ve Been Waiting For?”
Jorge Polanco – 2B, SEA: 19% rostered
(DEEP LEAGUE OPTION, COUNTING STATS UPSIDE)

You never want to spin injuries into a positive, but the injury to Victor Robles may have helped Polanco. Polanco has been off to a hot start to the season, but his surgically repaired knee has been giving him some problems. With Robles not in the lineup, the Mariners are able to move Luke Raley to right field against right-handed pitchers and put Polanco in the lineup at DH, which will help him take some impact off his knees as an everyday third baseman. Polanco has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with three home runs and 12 RBI to start the season, and I wrote him up as an undervalued hitter in spring training, so I would recommend taking some shares. Jose Caballero – 2B/3B/SS, TB (8% rostered) is another multi-position option in deeper leagues after he made his first start in the outfield this week as Tampa Bay looks to get him more at-bats and cover for the injury to Josh Lowe. We know that Caballero can be a difference-maker in the stolen base category, and if he winds up playing 75% of games with 2B/3B/SS/OF eligibility, that’s pretty valuable.
