Cole Tucker (SS, PIT) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 13% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Quickly forgotten by many fantasy owners after Carter Kieboom's promotion a few days ago, Cole Tucker is an intriguing shortstop prospect in his own right. The 22-year-old has always had plus speed, but four home runs in 21 games between Triple-A and the majors suggests he might be tapping into some latent power as well.

With the Pirates' other shortstop options both currently injured and also not very good, Tucker has a golden opportunity to seize the everyday role at the position. He's had a few auditions in the leadoff spot and if he hits enough to stick there, he'll definitely be worth rostering in more leagues than he's owned in right now.
