Tyler White (1B, HOU) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 50% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Houston Astros first baseman Tyler White is right on the line, but why? How greedy are fantasy managers if they are not happy with the performance he provides. In the last 14 days, White has one homer with 11 RBI to go with a .286 batting average. He has a schedule of six games at home with a series against the Mariners before the Angels come into town. Currently, the schedule has him facing three righties, two lefties, and an Angels pitcher to be identified later. We have gone through this before, it doesn’t really matter who he faces. He is hitting .298 against right-handers and .315 against left-handers. What else do you need?

Let’s play the Fantasy Dating Game. I’m looking for a fantasy manager that likes a .304/.382/.613 slash line. I have very little problems getting to first base with my 11% walk rate. Like everyone else, I have my rough patches with a 20% strikeout rate. I usually do what I set out to do and only have a 6.4% swinging strikeout rate. If you like what you’re hearing, pull back the curtains and give Tyler White a big ol’ hug. Get him on your rosters.
