10 Undervalued Players

10.  Martin Prado UTL (Atlanta Braves)

Prado, 28, has been a component of the Braves since 2006, and has remained forward the squad mainly because of his versatility. Prado, who be possible to cover every spot in the infield (less catcher), and the outfield, also provides a cubic hitting option as well. He's been a companionable fit in the Atlanta lineup getting on base, producing runs, and averaging touching a dozen homers a year. Prado, (.314AVG. 3HR, 21RBI), is a Tribe darling and helps set up for a team full of power.

9.  Luke Scott (Tampa Bay Rays)

Scott is not exactly the good in the highest degree hitter… or fielder…or much other. But the upside is that he plays in favor of the "mad scientist" Joe Maddon, who seems to commit to memory every ounce talent out of every player. Scott has posted a .243 medium with 8 home runs and 31 runs batted in.  The substantial value of Scott is his achievement against the competitive division, (5 HR's, 21 RBI's vs. AL East). Another creature that helps Scott is that playing a bench role with regard to Tampa, but with a lot of opportunities, is abundant better than being forced to fright in Baltimore.

8.  Jose Altuve 2B and Jed Lowrie SS (Houston Astros)

These midst infielders have become an integral dividend of the Houston offense. The 5'5 Altuve (.310 AVG., 2HR, 13 RBI, 9SB) in the manner that the leadoff man, and Lowrie (.288 AVG., 7HR, 18 RBI) for example the table-setting 2 hitter have provided a spark to the ‘Stos lineup. Which is one important thing considering Carlos Lee has wearied the past 5 years watching each other offense talent vanish from the team. Astros fans got a glimpse of Altuve late last season and esteem been impressed with his continued work so far this season. Astros fans furthermore survived a scare when the damage-riddled Lowrie, (acquired from Boston this offseason), has remained causative after a stint on the DL with a wrist ailment turned out to subsist nothing serious.  These two are in addition nice defensive pairing up the central part, with Lowrie's versatility being some added bonus.

7.  Mike Aviles SS (Boston Red Sox)

Last year whenever the Sox acquired Mike Aviles from the Royals final year, few thought that he would bear this much of an impact. After he was awarded the starting job at short in spring training, Aviles, (.276AVG., 8HR, 28RBI, 5SB), apt expression his way into the leadoff speckle, where he has flourished. Aviles is approach off of a series in Philadelphia in that he went 5 of 14 by three homers, two of which serve off the game. His clutch hits and defense has been a major reason the Red Sox have remained afloat, conscientious now returning to .500 (21-21).
