Brock Holt Can Do It All for the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox' Brock Holt has exceeded expectations as arguably Boston's most valuable player this year. Can it continue?

nERD of 1.44, meaning a lineup full of Brock Holt's would score 1.44 more runs per game than the average Major Leaguer. The other players with a 2.5 fWAR in the American League are July 24, 2014

Here's the breakdown:

Holt had been starting mainly at third base in the absence of the injured our own projections see him hitting .262/.323/.384 for the rest of the season, with a Fantasy Score of -0.47, 248th in MLB. We project two more home runs for him the rest of the way and an OPS of .707. So expecting him to continue to maintain a .318 batting average and an on-base percentage of .365 is a bad bet.

Holt does not have a "skill" that jumps off the page. He's a hard worker and a grinder that has turned himself into a fine baseball player. His versatility makes him valuable, and even if his stats dip a bit the rest of the season, he's still a great guy to have, both in fantasy and for Boston.
