by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(6/18/13) Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is starting his fourth straight game Tuesday against the Indians.
Moustakas has seen his playing time come into question lately, as Miguel Tejada has seen more games at third. Moustakas has scuffled this year, hitting just .183/.249/.279 in 197 at-bats. He'll have an opportunity to get things going against Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez.

| Mike Moustakas' sophomore season was a mixed bag that might leave some Fantasy owners unsure how to approach him in 2013. On the one hand, he showed his power stroke -- which came and went as he worked his way up the minor-league ladder -- would indeed translate to the majors, resulting in 20 home runs. On the other hand, his .296 on-base percentage wasn't something that would keep him employed in the majors for long. Now, at age 24, he's obviously still learning, and the Royals have expressed nothing but optimism about his performance last year. But the bottom line is it wasn't good enough for mixed-league use. No matter where you draft Moustakas in Fantasy, he'll have to take a step forward to justify his draft spot. Even if you know the upside is there for him, you don't know when he'll tap into it. He could explode with 30 homers this year or deliver more of the same. In certain circumstances, the potential reward outweighs the risk, but third base is a deep enough position, with players like Pablo Sandoval, David Freese and Brett Lawrie rounding out the top 12, that you wouldn't want to reach for Moustakas in standard mixed leagues. He'll likely be a middle-to-late-round pick in those formats. (Updated 12/7/12) |
