Stephen Piscotty (1B / OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Earlier in the week, the St. Louis Cardinals announced that they will be calling up top prospect Stephen Piscotty for today's game. As of now it's not fully clear where he will play, or how much he will be playing, but he is certainly an intriguing waiver wire flier for fantasy baseball owners. He's been playing first base recently in the minors, so the thought process is that he alternate with strikeout specialist Mark Reynolds over at first, and hopefully produce so that he can take over permanently. He will probably get some time in the outfield as well, but in general he may not be playing every day initially. Over his minor league career, Piscotty owns a career .288/.360/.444 stat line, and he's racked up 11 HR, 41 RBI, 54 R, and 5 SB over 320 ABs. If you're in a deeper league, or are looking for some hitting depth, feel free to take a chance on Piscotty off the waiver wire and see how this all plays out.
