Anthony Gose (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Anthony Gose did not get the start for the Detroit Tigers on opening day. Yet, after only a few games, the centerfielder has earned his spot in the lineup.

In his fourth MLB season and his first with the Detroit Tigers, Gose is trying to prove he’s an everyday-player rather than a platoon guy. He’s yet to play more than 90 games in a season. The 24 year-old has a .450 BA through four games, with two doubles, a triple, 1 HR, 1 SB and six runs. Right now he’s proving he can do a little bit (actually, a lot a bit) of everything.

Gose doesn’t have enough games under his belt to prove he can be a legit fantasy stud in the league. Fortunately for him, he can profit greatly in a lineup that features Miguel Cabrera, Yoenis Cespedes and J.D. Martinez, among others.

Rajai Davis is currently part of a soft platoon with Gose. Davis is off to slow start with one hit after being the opening day starter. This could be Gose’s job to take. He’s worth grabbing off the waiver wire immediately as, at worst, you can ride him out until he cools off.

My Projection: 260 PA, 10 HR, 80 Runs, 35 SB
