Josh Willingham (OF / DH, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, All AL-Only Leagues

ANALYSIS: Josh Willingham has now hit home runs in  back to back games, so he immediately becomes a speculative waiver wire pickup, especially if your team is looking for power sleepers to help beef up your HR and RBI stats. Injured for most of the year, Willingham has been off of a lot of people's radars this MLB season, and is currently only owned in 7% of Yahoo leagues. That number is way too low. He's only been active for 5 games since coming off the DL, but in that small sample size he already has a 3-game hitting streak, 2 HR, 4 RBI and 2 Runs, to go along with a 3 vs. 4 K:BB ratio. Very promising stuff. Let's not forget that this guy mashed 35 bombs and 110 RBIs in 2012, 29 bombs in 2011, etc. If you're looking for some pop, feel free to take a flier on Willingham, and hope that you can catch some lighting in a bottle for your fantasy baseball teams. Like most sluggers, when he gets hot he hits HRs in bunches, so now may be the best time to strike and grab him off the waiver wire.
