17 Jordan Schafer, CF

Braves outfielder Jordan Schafer continues to defy all expectations, as he upped his batting average to .310 with a three-hit game Wednesday.

He is playing more often thanks to injuries, but Fantasy owners remain unmoved. He is still owned in just 2 percent of CBSSports.com leagues, as of Wednesday.

Schafer's long track record of failure at the major-league level cannot be undone by a solid 42 at-bat run, so I cannot blame Fantasy owners for not jumping on his bandwagon. He is stealing bases at a decent rate but is not providing much help otherwise.

The biggest hindrance to his Fantasy value is the simple fact that the Braves have not given him any opportunities to fail against left-handed pitchers. All but three of his at-bats on the season have come against lefties, and this is a smart strategy for Atlanta, given his established inability to hit southpaws.

The Braves are smart to put him in a platoon where he can succeed, but it is hard for Fantasy owners to justify a roster spot for a player who doesn't get into the lineup regularly.

I would take a look at Schafer in NL-only leagues, but have little confidence in him being able to help otherwise. 

Braves outfielder Jordan Schafer had three hits in five at-bats Wednesday against the Reds. He also scored a run and struck out.

Schafer entered the game mired in a 4-for-24 slump in his last 10 games (seven starts). He has three multi-hit games, which includes a season-high four hits April 10.
