Rob Refsnyder (NYY, 2B) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues

OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: So the Yankees have said that their young second baseman will stay with the team after the All Star Break. Given the fact that Stephen Drew has been just awful, you have to think the Bombers will give Refsnyder a chance to run away with the job.

His glove was what many thought was keeping from the majors, but clearly Drew has fallen short even in that regard. In AAA, Refsnyder has put up a .290/.387/.413 slash line with seven homers, 37 RBI and 10 steals. He already showed what he can do in the majors too as in his second big league game he went 2 for 4 with a huge home run over the Green Monster.

Obviously there are some growing pains to be expected once Major League pitching gets the scouting reports on him, but he has upside at a shallow position. Even if he hits towards the bottom of the Yankee lineup, he will still have some value as the Bombers are (surprisingly) a pretty solid offense to this point in the season.
