Dalton Pompey (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Draft Target Late

OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Pompey’s meteoric rise from High-A to the Majors last season was capped off with a majestic blast off “The King”, Felix Hernandez, in late September. The Ontario native could end up being the biggest thing to hit Toronto since bacon and the Maple Leafs if his unique blend of speed and power translates at the highest level. With all of the injuries befalling the other options in the Blue Jays outfield, Pompey, just 22 years old, should be in the lineup everyday in centerfield.

Pompey’s most valuable fantasy asset will be his speed, capable of stealing 15-to-20 bases over the course of a full season, which will play right away. He may take some time to develop as a hitter, but there is plenty of extra-base pop in his bat and he makes enough contact to potentially hit for a high average. The sky is the limit with him. Trust me you’ll want to be there when Pompey erupts.
