Adam Lind (1B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

ANALYSIS: With Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Gomez recuperating on the DL, manager Ron Roenicke entrusted his cleanup hitter, Adam Lind, to take charge of the Brewers' offense over the past week. Lind has responded by hitting .348 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored. Gomez is on track to return to action late next week, and his blend of on-base skills and speed should prove valuable to Lind owners looking to see more of this kind of production going forward.

The elephant in the room of course is that Lind has never been able to hit left-handed pitching. Whether or not Roenicke will bench his hottest hitter in favor of a platoon is an open question, but it’s not like the Brewers have much behind him on the depth chart. Regardless, Lind has been productive enough against right-handed pitching so far this season that he’s more than making up for the occasional off day. Ride the streak.
