If you are in need of a player who is eligible for two infield positions at shortstop and third base, how about taking a closer look at Eduardo Nunez of the Minnesota Twins, who has been hitting the ball well as of late?

In his past seven games Nunez is batting .323 with 10 hits, six runs, one double, two RBI and has one walk, all in 31 at-bats on a team that is struggling to win. Thus far in June, Nunez has seven hits including two home runs and one walk, along with five of the seven runs scored in the past seven days.

Against the Tampa Bay Rays in the past four games, Nunez went 2-for-5, 1-for-5, 2-for-4 and 2-for-4 with a total of two home runs, two RBI and three stolen bases, including two steals on Saturday.

These is also the matter of May 24 to May 31 where he had at least one hit, and in five of those games he had no less than two hits, facing the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics to obtain those very solid numbers.

Nunez is on 56.5 percent of ESPN fantasy baseball rosters, and if he keeps this type of production going that number will quickly rise just like his season batting average of .335, which is accompanied with 27 runs, 22 RBI, 12 stolen bases and seven home runs.

On Tuesday, the Twins begin a series with the Miami Marlins in Minnesota.
