Ben Zobrist: Zobrist showed promise with a .318/.429/.459 line in the minors, but he went deep just 23 times in 1336 at-bats. As a result, he was never viewed as anything more than a utility player when the Astros dealt him to Rays as part of the Aubrey Huff trade back in 2006. But finally handed an every day role this season, the man dubbed “Zorillia” is hitting a surprising .292/.412/.620 with 16 bombs and 46 RBI. The power looks to be for real, as the 28-year-old has homered 28 times in last 407 major league at-bats dating back to last season. Only Albert Pujols, Joe Mauer and Prince Fielder have hit at a higher OPS this season. If you managed to pluck Zobrist off the waiver wire in your fantasy league, chances are your fellow owners hate you right now.
