Yunel Escobar (3B / SS, WAS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: It’s almost July and Escobar is still hitting the daylights out of the ball. He’s batting .329 /.380/.408 as the regular number three hitter for one the best offense in baseball. As hard as it might be to believe, he’s stepped up his game during June and is batting .377 on the month. While Escobar doesn’t deliver much in the way of power or speed, as long as he continues to post batting averages like that, fantasy owners should be happy to make room for him.

There’s also the matter of the team he plays for. The Washington Nationals have scored the 7th most runs in baseball through this point in the season. Looking up and down their lineup, one might almost conclude that this number was an under-achievement considering the amount of talent running through the team. As long as Escobar continues to get on base at the rate he has been so far this season, he’ll be a major source of Runs, RBI, and Batting Average from that position in the lineup.

With series against the Phillies, the 3rd worst pitching staff in baseball by team ERA, and the Braves, the 8th worst pitching staff, there isn’t a matchup coming up in the near future which you should be afraid to use Escobar against. My advice is to take full advantage of this potent hitter while he’s still available on the waiver wire.
