Chris Parmalee (1B / OF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Parmelee burst onto the scene with a vengeance this week. After being called up the Orioles, he made his season debut by going 4/6 with two home runs, three Runs scored, and two RBI. He’s hit another home run since then and is batting a sizzling .375 through his first week in the big leagues.

While he’s consistently crushed the minor leagues, Parmelee was never able to make any grounds in the big leagues during his time as a Twin. His recent performance has some asking whether or not he’s managed to figure something out. While it’s much more likely that what we’re witnessing is the product of small sample size, there’s upside to a player that batted .312 with six home runs through only 61 games in the minors this year. Especially for our friends in deeper leagues, Parmelee represents the perfect kind of low risk flyer. Grab him now while his bat is hot and he’s hitting for power. If he continues to preform well, then great. If not, you got a few weeks of valuable production for pennies on the dollar.
