Aybar available after huge July
After picking up 36 H in 87 AB in the month of July, Angels Shortstop Erick Aybar batted .414 with 17 R while driving in 18 RBI and is still available in 80% of ESPN and Yahoo leagues. Aybar’s July numbers not only caught the attention of Angels fans but were acknowledged by MLB’s Clutch Performer of the Month officials making him a nominee for July’s award. Aybar’s subpar June in which he batted, .256 picking up 20 H in 78 AB, and his ability to bounce back to the a .300 Avg highlights this kid’s maturity and mental toughness which is going to be important for him and the Angels as the season winds down when division winners are decided in late August until the end of September. Aybar is ranked 15th in RBI amongst SS in the MLB and 14th in H and deserves a closer look from fantasy owners looking for some depth off the bench or even a starting SS.
