Shin-Soo Choo (OF, TEX) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! Leagues  

ANALYSIS: Shin Soo-Choo has shockingly low ownership despite being a contributor across every fantasy category. Though he is a boring name and at a prime age for regression, Choo could be a key contributor to fantasy teams down the stretch of the fantasy season.

Choo is especially valuable in OBP and points leagues thanks to his tremendous .368 on-base percentage. He is also a standout in the runs category, as he has 70 runs scored to this point in the season, putting him on pace for 94 at season’s end. Despite those being his top contributions, Choo is a solid contributor in both power and speed as he has 14 home runs and 10 steals. Those solid but unspectacular numbers are a perfect fit to stabilize fantasy teams as a third or fourth outfielder.

Choo’s consistency is also worth noting, as he has scored 12 or more runs and driven in 10 or more runners in every month of the season. That makes Choo a great addition for the final stretches of the fantasy baseball season as a contributor that can be counted on.
