wayzupusc 420 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The man without a position to call his own and being used in the always-frustrating 'super utility' role, Flores has been on fire lately. Eligible at all infield positions in most leagues, Wilmer has gone 2-for-4 in three straight games and is 12-for-26 (.462) with a homer and three doubles over the last eight. He's actually been quietly solid all season and is up to a .307/.330/.466 line for the year, albeit on just 88 AB's. Getting to start much more the past 2-3 weeks or so, could be just an injury or continued hot bat to make him a useful fantasy option with ridiculous position flexibility. I mean, it's not like Jose Reyes, Matt Reynolds, TJ Rivera and Duda are doing a whole heck of a lot themselves to block him - anything to see here as a possible post-hype sleeper type? Seems like he's been around forever and I'm sure many have written him off as a AAAA player but he still just 25 years old....16 HR's the past two seasons in part-time roles, really seems like potential may be there to do more if he can earn or luck into consistent playing time. Or am I just seeing what I want to see because I suddenly see him filling up stat sheets from the last spot on my bench? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olliemets 471 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 In deeper leagues Wilmer would be a decent add. He hits lefties as well as anyone in baseball (had about 1 HR:11 ABs against them last year if I remember correctly), and hits cleanup when the Mets face one. To have a guy that is eligible at every infield position that you could plug in on Monday/Thursday off-days, and start every time faces a lefty, feels like a valuable guy to have on the end of a bench Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wayzupusc 420 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Pretty much even up in points production with my other 2B/U sub guy Joe Panik --- on 73 fewer AB's. #FreeWilmer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agk47 45 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Always a player I have been very big on, I thought he would have really established himself by this point in his career. last I noticed he was hitting about a buck 88 and battling some nagging injuries.... fast forward a month and now this.... is it finally time?

StevieStats 3,722 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So any Mets fans out there, what's his playing time situation/outlook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mongeese 192 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 You can never tell, but it does look like they have finally moved on from the Jose Reyes experience at 3B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
My Dinner With Andre 5,751 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Needs to play every day. Make Reyes the utility guy already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like he's locked up everyday playing time at third base. Only complication moving forward is when they call Rosario up, they'll have 4 players (Cabrera, Reyes, Rosario, Flores) for two spots. Injuries have a way of working these things out though and Cabrera, Reyes, Walker are all old and injury prone. Can even move to first if Duda gets hurt. As long as he keeps raking I think he'll play everyday and he'll always be in the lineup when facing a lefty. Edited June 11, 2017 by Purple Hippo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
