Fantasy Analysis
Despite the two-hit game, Wigginton is hitting just .178 in May, as he has fallen off in a major way. He has no extra-base hits in the month, and has struck out 18 times in 45 at bats. He provides very little at the corner positions, and should be considered only an NL-only Fantasy option. (Updated 05/20/2012).

Ty Wigginton had been a viable Fantasy option in the past, putting together three seasons of 20-plus homers. So when he joined the Rockies in 2011, taking in the thin air of Coors Field for the first time, most Fantasy owners probably expected him to put together a career season. Yet even with the demise of Ian Stewart and the extra at-bats it afforded Wigginton at third base, the 34-year-old took a definite step backward, hitting .242 with a .731 OPS. So when you assess his current situation in Philadelphia, where he'll be playing in another great hitter's park and getting consistent at-bats as both an injury fill-in for Ryan Howard at the beginning of the season and a platoon partner for Placido Polanco later on, a certain expression should come to mind: live and learn. Wigginton's combination of pop and versatility gives him some low-end appeal in deeper Fantasy leagues, particularly Rotisserie formats, but he has a limited ceiling and is already on the downside of his career. Don't overpay for him. (Updated 1/25/12)
