| Fantasy Analysis |
| If Valencia was hitting this well in the majors, then he would still be the Twins' starting third baseman. While this is a positive run for Valencia, the Twins haven't indicated yet they are ready to bring him back to the majors. Minnesota seems content with using Trevor Plouffe and Jamey Carroll at third base. Valencia is primarily worth stashing in AL-only Fantasy formats, but only if you have ample reserve spots.
