Marlon Byrd (OF, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

Ownership: 49%

ANALYSIS: He’s far from a spring chicken or a trendy fantasy player, but Marlon Byrd’s strange late-career renaissance refuses to end. Since the start of the 2013 season, Byrd’s 57 home runs are 20^th in all of baseball. A putrid April has yielded to a torrid May, as Byrd has hit .342/.500/.895 with six homers through the first half of the month. The Barry Bonds impression obviously won’t hold up, but Byrd’s earned some respect with his performance in recent years. If nothing else, ride the hot hand here.
