Edward Mujica (RP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues/AL-only Leagues

OWNED IN: 6% of fleaflicker leagues.

ANALYSIS: The Oakland bullpen has looked downright awful this season. Aside from Tyler Clippard, Ike Davis has been their most reliable reliever this season (Ike Davis: 1 IP, 0 ER, 3 GO). Luckily, Billy Beane isn't one to watch helplessly while his team struggles. That is why the A's acquired Edward Mujica from Boston. Since moving to Oakland, Mujica has a 0.0 ERA, a 0.857 WHIP, a 2.07 FIP, and a 7.7 K/9. Mujica is also producing a 0.5 GO/FO rate. This high amount of fly outs is helpful in O.co Coliseum which currently ranks 27th in the majors with a 0.711 HR rate. With Eric O'Flaherty currently rocking a 11.57 ERA and Fernando Abad producing a 7.36 ERA, Oakland could be looking to move Mujica up the bullpen ranks very soon. Mujica and Tyler Clippard are both All-Star caliber relievers, but the savvy Fantasy Baseball Manager can still pickup Mujica. The A's won't trust O'Flaherty and Abad much longer.
