Josh Hamilton (OF, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed or AL-Only Leagues

Owned In: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Josh Hamilton is back in a Rangers' uniform after a two year stint with the Angels. In his first game on Monday, he was slooted into the five hole, behind sluggers Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre. Hamilton went hitless in three at-bats with two strikeouts, but did draw a walk and score a run. It's hard to know if Hamilton can eventually return to how he played in 2013 with the Angels, let alone his MVP campaign in 2010, but given his history in Texas, fantasy owners have to expect he can still contribute in some way. While 2014 was a down year by most standards, Hamilton did enjoy a career high line drive percentage of 24.6% last year. It may take some time for him to get back on track, but owners in deep mixed leagues with five outfield slots or AL-Only leagues can do a lot worse than the 34-year-old former MVP.
