In his last ten games, Neto has hit four home runs, crossed the plate eight times, brought home fourteen runners and stolen two bases. That kind of accomplishment is hard to find.

Maybe we should take a closer look at who he’s between, because are Nolan Schanuel and Logan O’Hoppe also breaking out? At least there’s some positive light for Angels fans to focus on.

Neto’s Statcast page suggests there may be a drop-off, but not too much. His expected batting average is only 17 points below his current .266.

Additionally, with season numbers like 17 home runs and 22 steals, the underlying data doesn’t have much bearing on my suggestion to add him wherever possible.

With just over 25% of the players on the roster in ESPN fantasy leagues, it’s a shame he doesn’t get the respect he deserves, but for anyone in need of a midfielder, this is fantastic news.

One of the most underrated qualities in fantasy baseball signings is figuring out who’s going to be on the field every day. That’s exactly what you’ll get with Neto, as last Wednesday he had his first off day in 30 consecutive starts. Boy, I enjoy these everyday players!
