Andrelton Simmons (SS, LAA) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 50% of leagues

ANALYSIS: I have to assume that his homerless (and unlucky) September left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth, and that’s why he’s not being drafted like a guy who nearly went 15HR/20SB with a helpful average that is now part of a juiced lineup. Or maybe folks don’t trust the gains considering his reputation for being a glove-only player? Either way, their loss is your gain. Simba won’t endure many .242 BABIP, 0% HR/FB rate months like September, though. Even if he’s stuck batting in the bottom-third of the order, he should vie for 70 runs and RBI and contribute to all five categories, albeit without standing out in any.
