Batting eighth in Sunday's wild loss to the Tigers, Mike Aviles went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored. Aviles entered the game 0-for-6, and had yet to take an at-bat outside the nine hole. Even if manager Bobby Valentine keeps his position-versatile shortstop buried at the bottom of the order, he should rack up enough counting stats to be worth owning in a large majority of mixed leagues.
