This performance highlighted Taveras' ability to impact the game across multiple categories, which is a boon for fantasy managers. Despite a modest .229 batting average this season, his combination of power and speed, with 11 homers and 20 steals, makes him a valuable asset in deeper leagues. His low walk rate and high strikeout rate continue to suppress his on-base potential, but games like this show he can be a difference-maker when he's connecting with the ball.
