Didi Gregorious (SS, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Deep Leagues

OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: While it seems incredibly unfair that Didi Gregorious seems to be blamed for being Derek Jeter's replacement, it is hard not to be a little disappointed with Gregorious's start in pinstripes. However, recently, Didi's production has been trending upward.

In April; Gregorious had a .206 BA, and a .499 OPS. In May; Gregorious improved to a .232 BA and a .641 OPS. In June; Gregorious has improved yet again with a .304 BA and a .668 OPS. In the last seven days; Gregorious has a .313 BA and a .708 OPS. This improving offensive statistics also go along with two HR and three SB on the season.

This trend of steadily improving offensive statistics is not a new trend for Gregorious. Last season, Gregorious had to battle several injuries and missed significant time, but he improved as the season went along. The passing of time is often kind to Gregorious and Yankee Stadium is even more hitter friendly than Chase Field. If you are in a daily league you should play Gregorious only vs. RHP (he has just a .490 OPS against LHP but a .743 OPS against RHP).
