Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues

OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Jake Lamb is providing a steady presence at third base for the Diamondbacks. After hitting only six homers in 350 AB last season, he already has three long balls in 80 AB. Lamb is not a huge power threat--he never hit more than 15 homers in a single season in the minors. Nevertheless, he has the potential to hit between .275-.300 and go 15/70 in the power categories. Lamb is drawing walks at a higher rate this year (11.8 BB%) and the improved plate discipline is paying off.

Lamb will not necessarily enter the top tier of third baseman this year, but is at least worth a roster spot in every league. Owners who missed out on the elite third base options on draft day may find their options limited on the waiver wire. Lamb should be consistent enough to warrant your attention.
