Jon Singleton (1B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jon Singleton was scuffling for a long time and saw his average dip all the way to .174 as recently as 10 games ago, which is pretty gross and entirely unrosterable in every non-keeper league.  But he's found his stroke recently, and has collected two multi-hit games over his last 3, and 4 HR and 8 RBI over his last 9 games. He's seen his BA rise 20 points during this short stretch.  Singleton's splits are kind of crazy, as he's the rare lefty who mashes lefty pitchers (.264-.322-.566 triple slash in 53 AB) but is horrible vs. RHP (.168-.269.-336 in 137 ABs).  He wouldn't be getting regular playing time in most lineups, but the Astros are letting their young players sink or swim.  Singleton is available in 83% of leagues, and if you play in a deep league where you can change your lineup every day, he's a decent pickup while he's seeing the ball well.
