Fantasy Analysis
Arias stormed onto the scene in late April and began the 2012 season by batting .344 in his first 10 games. That hot streak put him in the starting lineup at third base in the wake of Pablo Sandoval's injury. Arias then cooled off, but he still kept seeing regular starts and now appears ready to start up offensively again. Arias will continue to play regularly as long as he produces. It's still best to treat him as an NL-only Fantasy option. (Updated 05/23/2012).
