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.
