Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues

Owned in: 12% of Fleaflicker leagues

Analysis: Scooter Gennett has started off the 2016 season blazing hot as he's now 7/17 with three homers. While Steamer and ZiPS project just six and 10 homers (respectively) this season to go with four or five stolen bases, I'm a little more aggressive with my predictions. I think he notches 10+ homers and five or more steals.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is as I've already added Gennett in two different 15-team deep roster leagues where I needed MI help. He sits against tough left-handed pitchers which could depress his overall totals, but that setup should help him maintain a very healthy batting average. It also helps that there aren't that many left-handed starting pitchers in the NL Central. If you need help at 2B or MI you can do worse than adding the red-hot Milwaukee second baseman.
