Chris Coghlan (OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: In 2009, Chris Coghlan won NL Rookie of the Year honors. Then he forgot how to play baseball, possibly after aliens stole his abilities in order to win an intergalactic showdown with beloved cartoon characters. The Cubs took a flyer on him last season, and here’s what he’s done since:

621 AB, 82 R, 17 HR, 14 SB, .796 OPS

That there is a useful fantasy player. Coghlan has been virtually ignored by owners this year, but he’s playing every day and contributing a solid power/speed combo. Deep leaguers especially should take note.
