Eugenio Suarez (SS, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Just as he was having the best offensive season of his young career, Zack Cozart had his season end abruptly by a scary knee injury. His replacement has been Eugenio Suarez. While everyone may be more excited about young shortstops like Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, and Francisco Lindor, Suarez is a fantastic offensive option if you need production at SS and the top prospects have already been snatched in your league.

This season in the Minors for the Louisville Bats: Suarez had eight home runs, three stolen bases, and a .786 OPS. Suarez also has a career Minor league OPS (since 2009) of .778. This season in the majors so far; Suarez has one HR, one SB, and a .743 OPS.  If you are looking for a good offensive option at SS who can offer HR and a few SB, Suarez is a great sleeper option.

Update: On June 23rd Suarez went 2-5 against the Pirates, improving his BA to .278.
