Scouting Report
| Assets: | Has pretty good home-run power, and can get red-hot with the stick. Also boasts a very strong arm and the versatility to play several different positions. May have found his niche at third base. |
| Flaws: | Doesn't draw enough walks to take full advantage of his power bat. Also lacks consistency as a hitter in general. Strikes out a lot, which hurts his team a lot when he's not swinging the bat well. |
| Career Potential: | Versatile power hitter. |

Trevor Plouffe belted a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Indians.

Impact
His blast to left field in the second inning put the Twins on the board, and they held the lead from that point forward. Plouffe also drew a walk, reaching base in two of his four plate appearances. The third baseman now has four homers this season, but he's driven in just seven and is batting only .238. He'll continue to be a streaky fantasy option. |
