Leury Garcia (OF/SS, CWS) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team leagues

OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! leagues

ANALYSIS: 

Leury Garcia just keeps on hitting. Over the last 10 games, he's accounted for 14 hits with two stolen bases and a home run. He's the permanent lead off hitter against both lefties and righties, and he has upside vs both. Against lefties, he's a .347 wOBA hitter that has real XBH upside. Against righties, his stolen base upside comes to play. He started off the season only hitting lefties, but has sported a wOBA over .330 against righties over the last two months.

If you're looking for a negative, he does strikeout quite a bit (21%) for a guy without much power. If you're looking to avoid strikeouts, you can move along. If you need a versatile bat that's going to get a hit or two in most games, he is your guy. He's eligible in the outfield and at shortstop, so he's a solid guy to throw on your bench and wait for the White Sox to face off with some lefties. Garcia is only 19% owned, so jump on him if you're in a deeper league and need some versatile depth.
