Fantasy Analysis
Plouffe continues to serve as merely a reserve outfielder for the Twins,which usually earns him a start or two a week. However, that will change if the 25-year-old continues to knock ball out of the park. Still, unless he starts seeing everyday at-bats, Plouffe should only be starting in the deepest of AL-only formats moving forward. (Updated 05/20/2012).
