Kole Calhoun an ideal buy-low candidate
Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun has been a little ice cold since returning from the disabled list, going 1 for 16 (.063) in six games since his return. In fact, he's been held out of the starting lineup twice in that span since coming off the DL, including Tuesday at Seattle.
However, as I wrote in this week's Waiver Wire column, I don't think this is a good time to give up on Calhoun. In fact, if he's available in your Fantasy league, I wouldn't hesitate to add him to your roster.
You really have to be a fan of Calhoun's upside. Even before he went on the DL with an ankle injury, Calhoun was slugging .500 in 14 games and averaged 16.3 Fantasy points over the first three scoring periods. In the minors, Calhoun hit .320 with a .403 on-base percentage, .545 slugging percentage and .948 OPS over 358 games. That's a serious slash line.
Maybe Calhoun isn't off to a banner start this season, but to me that screams he's a perfect buy-low candidate since he's a player that's not living up to his potential right now.
