Brooks Lee's Power Surge and Steady Playing Time Make Him a Strong Infield Option
Lee is swinging a red-hot bat, hitting .304 over his last seven days for the third-place Twins, who are on a two-game winning streak. Recent defensive shifts have cemented him as the primary starter at third base. He remains fully healthy and locked into everyday playing time.
Under the hood, Lee's 12 home runs already beat our models' initial 10-homer season projection. His .510 slugging percentage over the last month indicates his power growth is real, elevating his baseline above his career .236 average.
Minnesota plays a six-game homestand against the Dodgers and Rockies. Lee faces highly exploitable arms like Eric Lauer (5.37 ERA) and Michael Lorenzen (7.38 ERA). Our models project a .270 average over 24 at-bats, making him an easy Start.

Proven veteran corner infielder offers stable floor with modest category upside
Alex Bregman enters the season locked into his everyday starting role at third base for a potent Houston offense. Entering his age-32 season, the veteran remains a highly reliable presence near the top of the Astros' batting order, though his days of elite, MVP-caliber ceiling are likely in the rearview mirror. He continues to benefit from a strong supporting cast, keeping his runs and RBI expectations healthy despite slight declines in his raw bat speed.
Our models project Bregman to turn in a productive 5-category campaign, highlighted by nearly 20 home runs, a neutral-to-asset batting average hovering around .262, and an elite on-base percentage of .355. While he is a non-factor in the stolen base department with only handful of speed chip-ins expected, his superb plate discipline and projected 531 at-bats ensure a high volume of counting stats, including nearly 80 runs scored and 80 RBI.
In fantasy drafts, Bregman represents a remarkably safe floor option at third base, typically coming off the board in the middle rounds. He is best utilized as a stabilizer for managers who have already secured high-upside, high-risk assets earlier in the draft. While he won't single-handedly win you a league, his durability and plate discipline make him a highly dependable anchor.
