Tyler Naquin (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues

OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Tyler Naquin, 25, flashed signs of consistent hitting with Triple-A Columbus, evidenced by an admirable .286/.354/.400 line in 17 games this year. With Michael Brantley quickly heading to the DL in early April, Naquin earned an early promotion for the Tribe. Then, after a year-long PED suspension was handed to Marlon Byrd, Naquin earned another promotion on June 1, and it appears as if he's here to stay this time. With Rajai Davis solidifying the only everyday role in Cleveland's outfield, there is plenty of room for Naquin if he can perform well. Thus far, he's done just that. He's gone .309/.350/.505 in 103 plate appearances with four homers, three doubles and two triples. That's far better than anything Lonnie Chisenhall has been able to produce this year. Naquin should be a regular starter moving forward with slight upside.
