Oscar Taveras collects three hits for Cards
Oscar Taveras - OF - St Louis Cardinals
Feb. 27, 2013 - 1:40 AM ET

Oscar Taveras went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in the Cardinals' 15-4 rout of the Red Sox on Tuesday.

It's hard to imagine the Cardinals carrying the 20-year-old Taveras as a bench player, but if Carlos Beltran or another outfielder gets hurt, he could make a big impact in fantasy leagues this year. While Bryce Harper has to be accounted for, Taveras could be considered the second most talented hitter to enter the NL in several years.
