Eric Wagaman DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins first baseman Eric Wagaman went 3-for-3 on Sunday with two runs scored and two walks. It was a nice afternoon for Wagaman, who is now slashing .231/.318/.359 on the season. The Marlins completed their three-game series against the Washington Nationals on Sunday and took two of three from them over the weekend. The Marlins had Wagaman batting in the cleanup spot on Sunday against a left-handed pitcher, which throughout the season could set up nicely for him as Xavier Edwards and Kyle Stowers batting in front of him both supporting a .406 and .410 on-base percentage, respectively. All that said, Wagaman is not recommended in most 12-team leagues but could be a pick-up in deeper leagues for those looking for a corner infielder if he continues to hit. Next for the Marlins is a three-game series starting Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

According to Daniel Alvarez-Montes of the Miami Chapter Chair, the Miami Marlins are signing third baseman Eric Wagaman to a one-year contract. Wagaman made his major league debut last season with the Angles and posted a .250/.270/.403 line with five doubles and two home runs across a small 18-game stint. Across 27 games at Triple-A last season, Wagaman held an impressive .320/.355/.500 slash line with five doubles, three home runs, and a 6:14 BB:K ratio. Across 146 games at the Double-A level the 27-year-old held a solid .282/.352/.468 line. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during Spring Training as he may contend for a spot on the Opening Day Roster especially with Jake Burger departing for Texas earlier this offseason.
