Didi Gregorious (SS / 2B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Gregorious has always been a slow starter and in this first season for the Yankees, he hasn’t changed a bit. Gregorious got off to a horrendous start in the Bronx with an April OPS of .499, then stepped it up slowly but surely in May and June with OPS of .641 and .659 before taking a huge leap forward to hit for a .820 OPS  in July. Gregorious has really been feeling it in the last couple of weeks: hitting for an OPS of .979 in the last 14 days, and an OPS of 1.328 in the last seven days to contribute to Gregorious’s .936 OPS so far for the second half of the season. In deeper leagues, especially at shortstop, it can be a much better option for fantasy baseball managers to ride the hot hand. If Gregorious stays healthy and is able to show what he can do if he has an entire season to build upon himself, he can be a game changer for fantasy baseball managers in deep/very deep leagues.
