Chris Coghlan (2B / OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Chris Coghlan is getting a ton of at-bats. Unfortunately, he hasn't been doing much with them. His strikeout rate at this point of the season is 30.0%, much higher than his career rate of 17.6%. However, he did keep his strikeout rate low with Chicago his last two seasons, and his early season struggles could be simply attributed to a change of scenery. Coghlan has gone yard once and it appears that he will be getting the nod mostly against righties and potentially at second base with Jed Lawrie struggling defensively. With more righties than lefties pitching in the league, Coghlan should see enough time to provide deep fantasy lineups with value and could potentially flirt with a 10 HR/10 SB season batting second in the A's order.
