Miggy does two things great in life: hits baseballs far and drinking tequila. He might be getting older but his bat is still elite. Whatever he and David Ortiz are taking (I’m sure they are only vitamins), is working. Over the last three

Over the last three seasons, he is averaging a .322 average, 27 home runs and 97 RBIs. He is producing at an elite rate and can go down as one of the greatest top 5 right handed hitters of all time. Miggy has one of the best eyes at the plate (has a .401 OBP over the last three years) and he hits in one of the better lineups in the AL. If you want safety at the first base position after the top two guys are off the board, Miggy is your guy.

I love fantasy sports more than you love most things in life. I am great at giving fantasy advice because if it doesn't work out, it's the players fault not mine. I love to help others with their fantasy sports questions and instead of following politics or other important topics that are going on in the world, I do fantasy research. Let me help you guys win your leagues and in daily sports.
