Johnny Field, OF, Minnesota Twins

Price: $2,200

Johnny Field is far from an everyday starter for Minnesota, but he was in the lineup against a southpaw last night. If that's the case again on Thursday, he will make for a great way to get cheap exposure to a dreamy matchup with Francisco Liriano.

Liriano is on pace for his second consecutive season with a SIERA north of 5.00, and he's sporting career-worst marks in both strikeout rate (18.3%) and walk rate (12.4%).

Field is not a high-floor hitter, with only a .315 wOBA in his split against southpaws, but he's also tagged lefties for a 41.3% hard-hit rate and 37.7% fly-ball rate, which has translated to a .247 ISO.

It's not often you'll find the kind of upside Field offers tonight for this close to the minimum salary.
