Scott Kingery (OF/SS/2B/3B, PHI) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 24% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Phillies utility player Scott Kingery has not lived up to expectations as a rookie, although to be fair, those expectations were absurd. To be fair though, there were multiple people speculating that he could produce a 30/30 campaign, something that no MLB player has done since 2012. The 24-year-old has only gone deep four times and has a lousy .611 OPS on the season.

However, he has shown signs of improvement in recent weeks. Kingery’s two-hit performance on Saturday marked his seventh multi-hit effort in the past month. During that span he has hit .280, scored 17 runs, and swiped three bags. Considering that he has eligibility all over the field, and has power/speed upside, it may be smart to pick up Kingery before he goes off.

Those in deeper leagues should have had Kingery on their radar already, and he should be owned in all dynasty/keeper formats, but those in more shallow leagues should now be monitoring Kingery.
