Third base is probably one of baseball’s deepest positions for fantasy purposes this season. Even if you’re sitting without a Manny Machado, Nolan Arenado, Josh Donaldson or Kris Bryant on your roster, there’s still plenty of guys you can plug and play. Eduardo Nunez is one of them.

Currently ranked seventh overall at the position, Nunez isn’t hitting for power, but his .432/.469/.523 line in 44 ABs is too good to go to waste. He’s a lot like Harrison in other categories, with eight RBI and four stolen bases to go with the high ratio statistics.

But again, if you figure Nunez is just a flavor of the week and won’t put together a strong 2016 overall, look elsewhere. Because there are other third basemen to own, such as Detroit’s Nick Castellanos (41% owned), Arizona’s Yasmany Tomas (44%) or Jake Lamb (31%) and the White Sox’s Brett Lawrie (39%).
