Josh Harrison (2B / 3B / OF, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

ANALYSIS: Josh Harrison was only supposed to play for the Pirates as long as Neil Walker was hurt. However, considering that Harrison has played to a .306/.347/.478 triple slash one has to imagine they'll try to find room for him in their lineup even when Walker returns. Harrison won't offer you much pop. His 5 home runs are a career record for him both in the minors and majors. However, he's reached at least 15 stolen bases in every season he has played (combined minors and majors numbers) and seems to score a decent amount of runs every year. He has hit for average before, but I'd be worried about some regression since his BABIP and K rate are higher than they have ever been in his career by a sizable margin. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic about Harrison. As many of you know, I love players who can play multiple positions because they offer you roster flexibility. If you were formerly a Kolten Wong owner before the injury, Harrison would be among my short list of players I'd recommend to pick up as a replacement. Make the move as needed managers.
