Chris Young (OF, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all 14 team leagues or deeper.

OWNED IN:  11% of Yahoo leagues

ANALYSIS: Ever since being cut from the Mets last season, Young has had a resurgence with the Yankees. He is batting .257 on the season with 11 homers and 27 RBI. Those numbers don't jump out at you, but let's take a look at his lefty-righty splits.

Against southpaws, Young hits .365 and has six big flies and 14 RBI. When facing right-handers Young doesn't even crack the Mendoza line, batting a measly .178. He still has five HR and 13 RBI against them, but that's more quantity of at-bats over quality.

He's no longer the 20-20 player he was in Arizona, but he can still provide modest production for a owners. Those in daily leagues would be wise to play him against lefties and to sit him against righties. Owners in weekly matchup leagues would do well to check how many lefty starters he faces that week before inserting him in their lineups.

Even when he doesn't start, the Yankees tend to use him as a pinch-runner/defensive replacement, so he can still bring the occasional steal to the table.
