Carlos Rodon (SP/RP, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: It his been well chronicled on both RotoBaller and other sports websites, that Carlos Rodon is considered one of the top MLB starting pitcher prospects and rookies, and has the ability to make an impact in fantasy baseball leagues this year.

It was announced earlier today that Rodon will be called up from the minors and join the White Sox on Monday. He won't immediately be in the starting rotation, and will be working out of the bullpen at first. It should just be a matter of time before he gets a crack at the rotation. If all goes according to plan, he will yield quality starts and become a mainstay in the rotation and on fantasy baseball rosters, with upside to be a high-level fantasy contributor for a majority of the MLB season.

Rodon should already be owned in all dynasty leagues, keeper formats or those with an N/A slot. Regardless, Rodon is recommended starting pitcher waiver wire pickup and stash in just about all fantasy leagues. His talent is huge, and there is real breakout potential here. This is similar to Alex Wood's situation last year, and he proved to be an elite starting pitcher in the 2nd half after working out of the bullpen initially. Go grab Rodon off the waiver wire, and stash some potential fantasy baseball gold.
