Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Mixed Leagues

OWNED IN: 56% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien had his power stroke going last week, clubbing three homers in just 18 at-bats. While you can't expect that kind of production every week, you can expect him to be a 20/10 guy batting second lead-off (the nine hole) for the Athletics. Semien continues to be overlooked in most fantasy circles, and if he's available in your league he could very easily be slotted in as your everyday shortstop. He also makes for a ridiculously cheap trade target, as he's likely one of the "throw-in" players you can get his current owner to sweeten a deal with. He's not a top-five player at the position, but he could very well be in the top 10 of that very shallow talent pool.
