Kendrys Morales (1B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues

EXPERT ANALYSIS: Thanks for nothing, Kendrys. Sorry, I had to get that out of the way. Like many fantasy owners, I took Morales late as my starting 1B as a value pick only to regret it immediately. Six weeks into the season, I had no choice but to cut bait since he was dragging down my team's average. Morales hit .226 in April and then was even worse in May with a .163 average. His six HR and 21 RBI in 195 AB didn't warrant a roster spot either. Naturally, he tore it up in June, hitting .402/.453/.655 and driving in 18 runs. After a tepid July, he starting warming up again and is looking like a must-add while his bat is catching fire. In the past week alone, Morales is hitting .474 with four HR and 10 RBI. The Royals face non-contending White Sox and A's over the next ten days, which makes it an ideal time to add him if available.
