Ben Revere (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues

OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: You need stolen bases or a player who is turning his season around? Outfielder Ben Revere is the man for you. The 27-year-old Philadelphia Phillies player is hitting the prime of his career. His dreadful start is the reason he’s available in half the leagues out there.

Last season, Revere had a .306 BA, 184 hits and 49 SB. He’s a career .289 hitter and is slowly raising his BA as it stands at .266 on May 19. In his last three games, he has stolen a base. He’s had two three-hit games in the past week.

The upside is high and the risk is worth it in snagging Revere from the waiver wire. He’s not going to hit for power, but he’s going to do well in other categories you need to win your fantasy league.

They’re also rumors that Revere might not even be with the Phillies for too much longer as his name is coming up in trade rumors. There’s a chance he could go elsewhere with the benefit of having better hitters to protect him in the lineup and allow him to cross home plate.
