Tsuyoshi Wada (CHC, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only / Deeper Mixed Leagues

OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Wada was a personal favorite of mine for streaming purposes in 2014. In his 13 starts, he compiled a 3.25 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 57 K over 69.1 innings. Wada, who just returned from a groin injury and will be replacing Travis Wood in the Cubs rotation, only lasted 4.2 innings at San Diego and gave up two runs with one walk and nine punchouts. The issues limiting Wada are his inability to go deep into games combined with his poor splits vs righties, considering the righty dominant teams in the NL Central (STL, PIT, MIL). That said, Wada is a great addition for NL-only teams and should be on the streaming radar for shallow leagues. He's got a two-start week (WAS, KC) coming up as well, although I only recommend rolling him out for the KC game.
