Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

After entering the game at third base following Troy Tulowitzki’s injury, Chris Iannetta homered, doubled and walked to help the Rockies beat the Giants on Tuesday. Iannetta scored the only run in the game’s final seven innings on a controversial balk that resulted in Giants manager Bruce Bochy’s ejection. Iannetta played a position other than catcher for the first time in his career after Tulo was hurt. He’s already seeing more time at catcher lately, and he could earn a crack at the starting job if he keeps producing. He’s hitting .324 with two homers and four doubles in 34 at-bats. Iannetta is an outstanding sleeper in deeper leagues. He is a nice offensive talent at the catcher position and should be considered in NL-only leagues at this point. If he ever takes over full time behind the plate, he will be useful in all formats. Don’t count on him ever getting a game at third again, though. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)
