Leon went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run homer that ended Wednesday's 3-0 win over Pittsburgh in the 12th inning.
The ninth-place hitter in Boston's order, Leon has outshined all his highly regarded teammates through the season's first two games, going 5-for-8. Everyone doubted that Leon could even replicate last year's .310/.369/.476 line, and he probably won't, but he appears poised to vastly outperform the fantasy community's low expectations.
