Chris Coghlan (OF, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in deep mixed and NL Only leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of ESPN Leagues

ANALYSIS: Despite playing in a platoon role for the majority of 2015, Chris Coghlan has still managed to maintain strong value in NL-Only fantasy leagues. In his last 15 games, the 29-year-old outfielder has managed a .310 AVG with 1 HR and 6 RBI, not spectacular numbers by any means, but solid stats for a player owned in less than 10% of ESPN leagues. Coghlan struggles mightily against left-handed pitching, though, hitting only .083 in 12 AB against southpaws thus far in 2015. He'll likely lose playing time when the Chicago Cubs play against lefties because of that, but it's not unreasonable to expect Coghlan to provide an adequate stream of hits, runs, and possibly RBI.

INTERESTING STAT: Coghlan is a career .239 hitter against left-handed pitching, much better than his 2015 mark of .083.
