Brian Dozier, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers

Brian Dozier has endeared himself to his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates with many a timely hit, but his overall production for his new team has been less than stellar. The veteran infielder carries a pedestrian .200 batting average and .651 OPS over his past 58 plate appearances, with a barely-there .089 isolated slugging (ISO).

Yet the underlying numbers show Dozier to be quite assured at the dish: check out that 20.7% walk rate, 36.6% hard-hit rate, and 22% liners. Look for Dozier to settle into his Dodger blue this week against suspect pitching from the Cardinals and Padres. With his FanDuel salary hovering in the mid-$3,000s, he could be one of the better bargains in the daily game.
