Double and RBI for Evan Longoria
by Chris Zolli | Sat, May 14th 10:58am EDT
Evan Longoria had a 1-for-4 performance with a double and an RBI for Tampa Bay. Longoria has had doubles in back-to-back games and has six extra-base hits and eight RBI thus far in May. He has hits in seven of his last 10 games and has a .728 OPS this season.
Fantasy Impact:
Longoria may not be the top-five 3B that he used to be, but has 16 extra-base hits and 18 RBI this season, good enough numbers to make him a starting 3B in all formats. He does have 36 strikeouts and only nine walks this season, showing that he needs to focus on his plate discipline, but he could still approach 50 extra-base hits, 85 or more runs scored, and 85 or more RBI. He is 1-for-6 against Athletics' starter Kendall Graveman in his career and has a .731 OPS at home this season.
