I need to pick up an OF.

Traditional 5x5 cats plus OPS and Ks (as a minus for hitters).

Trying to decide between Judge, Souza, and Dickerson as best options.

Judge for the upside.
Souza and Dickerson will both suck at some point, while Judge is still enough of an unknown to maybe be a 35+ HR type guy

That's what I'm thinking. He clears waivers @ midnight. I picked up Matt Barnes in the interim since it looks like Kimbrel will get a night off if a Save Opp comes up.

I'm #6 of 10 for waiver claim. I think I'm drawing kind of slim already, so really need him to post an 0-4, 3 K night.

souza's k/bb is vastly improved thus far. he is swinging a materially less amount on outside the zone pitches. ₩hy can't this be his breakout?

Id be pretty surprised if Meadows was the immediate replacement for Marte. The service time stuff hasn't passed yet and Pitt is not a team to give away a free year of control. Also, while hes obviously super talented, he has really sucked so far this year.

Can't believe Todd Frazier is going to miss 5 of past 7 games due to the "flu", gotta think it's something else by now?

So Marte was dropped in my moderately deep 12 teamer, with an extra bench slot. I've got #1 priority.

This is an insta-claim, right?

What are your thoughts on picking up Avisail Garcia or CHase Headly at this point?

Garcia looks great. He lost weight and seems to be waiting on pitches better than ever. He is a 5 tool guy who just hasn't worked out yet but still young so maybe he is finally getting it?

I am a White Sox fanboy though so I have been waiting for this guy to reach his potential for a while. I have him on one of 4 teams and he is unavailable in the others but he looks better at the plate than he ever has. If he "has" figured it out he could be a monster.

Avisail Garcia sucks and is being propped up by something like a .500 BABIP - all singles.

Actually there was a FG article today about him:
http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/dis...added-hitters/

Some relevant quotes:

Quote:

He’s a .264 career hitter, was on a pace for a whopping 16 homers last year extrapolated to 600 plate appearances (and that required a hefty 17% HR/FB rate just to get there!), and is probably going to get dropped back down toward the bottom half of the order once he stops singling teams to death.

Quote:

There’s literally nothing here to suggest a breakout is upon us. His SwStk% remains at a disgusting 16%, he still swings at far too many pitches outside the zone (although his O-Swing% is actually sitting at a career low right now…scary considering it’s still far above the league average), and his Hard% is actually down a couple of ticks from last year. Soooo, it’s really just all about the BABIP and a bunch of singles that happen to be dropping in
