Kyle Schwarber (C, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNERSHIP: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Kyle Schwarber's first stint in the majors was short lived, but oozed with top-prospect potential. The young Cubs catcher made the most of his 23 June plate appearances, notching 8 hits en route to a .364 AVG, 6 RBI and 1 HR across only five full games, numbers highlighted by a 4 hit, 2 RBI performance in his major league debut on June 17. He's been in the minors ever since, a product of a deep Cubs' roster. With starting catcher Miguel Montero headed for the DL, it appears Schwarber is in line for another look at the big leagues, this time for at least a couple of weeks. The 22-year-old is worth an add regardless of league format, boasting huge potential at one of fantasy's thinnest positions. Reports indicate he'll likely bat second in the Cubs lineup, which will almost assuredly hinder the RBI production, but Schwarber should emerge as a solid source of hits and runs in the short term with the chance for long term production if he can continue where he left off in June.
