Kole Calhoun, OF, Los Angeles Angels

Price: $2,800

Colon's numbers have been especially shaky at the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park, with a 4.75 xFIP and .358 wOBA allowed at home, compared to a 4.57 xFIP and .345 wOBA on the road. At home against left-handed bats, that xFIP jumps all the way up to 5.20.

Kole Calhoun is a left-handed hitter that is more than capable of taking advantage of those struggles.

Even in what has been a hugely underwhelming season production-wise, he's making terrific contact against right-handed pitching. He has a 44.1% hard-hit, 36.6% fly-ball and 13.6% soft-hit rate, and that pop has translated to a .209 ISO. He's not a safe play, but his upside is easy to like at this price-point.
