Jose Pirela (SD, 2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper mixed and  NL-only leagues

OWNED IN: 11% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Jose Pirela has been under looked the entire season as he quietly has put together a .295 batting average and .858 OPS with eight home runs on the season in just 244 at-bats. Yes, the Padres don’t offer the best lineup, but Pirela has held his own and is worth a look in NL-Only leagues.

Eligible at both second base and outfield the Padres number three hitter has a .292 average over the past month which includes four home runs. Stop overlooking the lower owned players and ride them while they are hot. Pirela has proven all season that he has been real the deal thus far and until he stops he should be rostered.
