Jesse Chavez (SP/RP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: With the recent news that Kendall Graveman has been sent down to the minors, Jesse Chavez will slide into the starting rotation. He pretty much pitched a gem in his first start of the season on Thursday, and has the potential to make an impact off the waiver wire pitching for a good Oakland team and in a great pitcher's park.

If you recall, Chavez was a very nice surprise last year when he was in the rotation, putting up solid and consistent numbers for the most part. He ended the year with 136 K in 146 IP, to go along with a 3.45 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. If you're looking for some pitching help, feel free to add Chavez who is scheduled to face the light-hitting Rangers and Twins lineups his next turns out. The upside is there.
