Fantasy Baseball Free Agent Pool: 2011 Run Scorers Vol. 6

Ryan LesterJul 5, 2011

Still struggling in the run category? Here are some reasonably available players that can help you out.

Cameron Maybin, San Diego Padres: Maybin is hitting .311 over the past 15 days with 10 runs, three RBI and five stolen bases. On the year he’s hitting .260 with 36 runs, five home runs, 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases. Cameron is owned in 12 percent of Yahoo! and 18.3 percent of ESPN leagues.

Danny Valencia, Minnesota Twins: Valencia is hitting .321 over the past 15 days with nine runs, three home runs and 13 RBI. On the year he’s hitting .236 with 31 runs, 10 home runs, 45 RBI and two stolen bases. He has had multiple hits in four of his past six games so perhaps a turnaround is in order. With just a .254 BABIP (compared to .345 last year), it wouldn’t be surprising if his luck changed. If it did, Valencia could solve some fantasy owners' third base woes. Danny is owned in 10 percent of Yahoo! and 4.1 percent of ESPN leagues.

Freddie Freeman, Atlanta Braves: After hitting a pair of home runs last night, Freddie could be a popular addition today. He’s hitting .279 over the past 15 days with nine runs, four home runs and 11 RBI. On the year he’s hitting .272 with 37 runs, 11 home runs, 38 RBI and two stolen bases. Freddie is owned in 33 percent of Yahoo! and 54.2 percent of ESPN leagues.

Eric Thames, Toronto Blue Jays: Thames is hitting .368 over the past 15 days with nine runs, three home runs and five RBI. On the year he’s hitting .325 with 16 runs, three home runs and nine RBI in 22 games. Eric is owned in less than 10 percent of ESPN leagues.

Jeff Keppinger, Houston Astros: Keppinger is hitting .385 over the past 14 days with eight runs, a home run and four RBI. On the year he’s hitting .328 with 17 runs, two home runs and 13 RBI. Jeff is owned in eight percent of Yahoo! and 3.2 percent of ESPN leagues.
