For Marcus Thames, it has always been easy to generate power. In a part time role so far this season, Thames is tied as the team leader in home runs in nearly 150 less at bats. Jim Leyland though, is finally realizing that his bat is needed in the lineup. Fantasy owners, If you need some instant power in your lineup to replace Alfonso Soriano or Albert Pujols, here is your answered prayer.
In the Tigers last series against the LA Dodgers, Thames went yard twice and capped off a week where he saw 5 long balls soar out of the ballpark. With the Tigers rolling, heading into national league play, Thames should get a lot of playing time and is eligible at either first base or the outfield.
It might only be a temporary fix for now, but It could turn out to be a winner. Thames has gone deep in three straight games and projects to be a 30-35 home run talent in a 162 game stretch. Thames is owned in 8% of ESPN leagues.
