Jarrod Dyson (KC, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: With Alex Gordon out for the next eight weeks, Dyson becomes a very interesting play in all leagues. Speed is the name of his game as he doesn't offer any power, but 130 steals in 395 games is pretty impressive.

Ned Yost loved Dyson as a pinch runner off the bench but with Gordon out, he doesn't have this luxury anymore. Dyson has never really gotten consistent playing time so it remains to be seen how he does in his current situation.

Right now, Dyson is batting a career high .273 and has a respectable OBP at .321 so far. His BABIP is a tad high at .325, but I can't imagine such a significant drop-off. His strikeout rate is down to 16.4% too which is a good sign that he could be a great mid-season pickup for a lot of teams. Paulo Orlando should see some playing time too, but it's very possible that Dyson could run away with the job. Anyone in need of steals should run to the wire and grab him.
