Lars Nootbaar shines in Cardinals' offensive feast
by Chris Schommer | Cardinals Correspondent | Sat, May 18th 7:19am EDT
Lars Nootbaar went 1-for-3 with a home run, three runs scored, and two RBI in the Cardinals' 10-6 victory over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season, as he's batting just .209 through 31 games. The home run, his fourth of the year, along with the pair of walks he drew, should give fantasy managers a glimmer of hope. Nootbaar's ability to get on base via walks, boasting a .153 walk rate, combined with his power potential, might make him a speculative add in deeper leagues, especially if he can start to convert his opportunities more consistently. However, his low batting average and BABIP suggest that any uptick in production could be volatile.
