Rajai Davis (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo Leagues

ANALYSIS: Davis is not now, nor he has ever been, all that great of a hitter. What he has always been is a great base stealer. Despite swiping only one bag in his first 21 games, Davis has 19 thefts on the year, more than all but seven other players in baseball. That’s in large part due to running wild recently; the aging vet has nine steals in 10 attempts since June 30. With how difficult it is to find speed on the wire this year, it’s surprising to see him so widely available, even considering his offensive shortcomings.
