Jorge Soler (OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues

OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: One of the biggest injuries this young season occurred when Kyle Schwarber tore two ligaments in his left knee. The door is wide open for Soler to reclaim the job that was supposed to be his in 2015. Management and Cubs fans would love nothing more than to see Soler live up to the potential he has flashed since his 2014 debut when he hit .292 with a .903 OPS in 89 AB. Last year was up-and-down to be certain, but he ended on a high note in the playoffs with three HR and line of .474/.600/1.105 in 25 plate appearances. There is no doubt Soler has the talent and now is the time to capitalize on his opportunity.  Although he is off to a slow start, Soler needs to be owned in nearly all mixed leagues. He may wind up paying huge dividends this summer.
