Having spent roughly the first two months of the season on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, it's no wonder that Travis wasn't widely owned coming out of most drafts before the season.  His tough .152/.204/.293 slash line in his first 12 games back from the DL certainly didn't help his cause, either.  However, as the Blue Jays' bats have heated up with the summer weather, so has Travis' bat.

In 10 games since that rough start to his season, the 25-year-old batted .389 with six doubles and two home runs.  Plus, although his four walks on the year and one walk in the past 17 days leave something to be desired, Travis cut down on the strikeouts during his recent hot streak, tallying strikeouts in only two of the last 10 games after striking out in nine of his first 12 contests.

Toronto's upcoming schedule seems to bode well for the second baseman, as well.  Naturally, playing home games in the Rogers Centre is a boon to Travis' value, but the Blue Jays also get a trip to Coors Field to start next week, right after facing the back end of the White Sox rotation.

In addition to all of this, the former Tiger farmhand's job as the starting second baseman is pretty secure going forward.  Considering Toronto's alternatives at the keystone are the light-hitting infielders Darwin Barney (.250 career batting average) and Ryan Goins (.223 career batting average), it's hard to see manager John Gibbons benching a player like Travis who simply has more potential at the plate.  As long as Travis continues to show solid pop (like he has through his 1.117 OPS over the past 10 games) and a somewhat decent batting average, there's too much upside to ignore the 25-year-old infielder, especially considering he can produce these numbers as a second baseman, a typically weak position in fantasy baseball.
