Kyle Manzardo – 1B, CLE: 37% rostered
(POWER UPSIDE, PLAYING TIME OPPORTUNITY)

I see that Manzardo has dipped below the 40% rostered cut-off, so I wanted to bring him back up again. Yes, he’s hitting just .200 on the season, but he’s hitting the ball hard, has a swinging strike rate of just 10%, and is still making 76% contact overall. The hits are going to fall, so now might be the time to get him onto your rosters. In deeper formats, you could also turn to Matt Mervis – 1B, MIA (2% rostered), who was a fantasy darling back when he was on the Cubs a couple of years ago. His minor league numbers didn’t carry over to the big leagues, but now he finds himself in an everyday role in Miami and has slugged four home runs while hitting .281 in his first 10 games. I should note that he also has a 39% strikeout rate and a 20.5% swinging strike rate, so the batting average is certainly going to come down. The power is for real though, as is the playing time.
