Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jonathan Schoop is on fire right now, and he's making people who stuck with him feel like geniuses. He's a headache to own in H2H leagues because you never know when he's going to pop off. You definitely want him in your lineups when he does though. Second base is not exactly a power position, so getting 30 homer potential there is enticing to say the least. Schoop also benefits from a hitters' park and a high octane offense featuring Chris Davis, Manny Machado, and Adam Jones.

Schoop has three bombs and 10 RBI since May 8th, and is hitting .357 over that span. He can go cold just as easily as he can explode, so proceed with caution. Nonetheless, he needs to be owned and sold high on while he's playing this well. Those in Roto leagues should take notice because, while watching his roller coaster season can be irritating, the end of season numbers can be rewarding.
