Martin Prado (3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed, NL-Only Leagues

OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Martin Prado has always been a more valuable player in real life than in fantasy baseball. He’s scored more than 81 runs just once, never totaled more than 82 RBI or 15 homers, and hasn’t stolen more than five bases in a season outside of 2012. What he’s done pretty consistently, though, is hit for average, and right now he’s sixth in the majors with a .333 mark. For all its shortcomings, batting average is a category in most fantasy leagues, and it’s often overlooked. Prado plays better at second base, but owners in need of a BA boost should get him into the lineup any way they can.
