Panik only collected one hit in his five plate appearances Monday, but his lone hit went for a home run.
EDGE Analysis
Panik was one of four Giants who went yard in their season opener. The home run helps prove his case that the 122 point jump in OPS from 2014 to 2015 was no fluke. While we shouldn't expect a huge power outbreak, hitting second in the Giants' potent lineup should result in career-high counting stats this season. Fantasy owners could do worse if they decided to go with cheap at the second base position.
