​Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, New York Mets

The once-formidable Adrian Gonzalez has quietly put together a minor bounce back in his debut season for the New York Mets, posting a .415 slugging percentage after last year's dispiriting dip to .355.

And here's the thing: advanced stats indicate that Gonzalez should be hitting even better, with an expected slugging of .551 and a 41.9% hard-contact rate that would mark a major career high. With his excellent career .222 isolated slugging against righties, Gonzalez profiles as a strong sub-$3,000 play in Week 8, when the Mets square off against Dan Straily, Junior Guerra, and Jhoulys Chacin.
