FANTASY BASEBALL – Waiver Wire Report
BaseballFantasyMLB
Some of you may have been wondering where all the pitcher recommendations are. For weeks now I have touted hitters to roster, but pitchers have been conspicuously absent. There is a reason for that; pitchers are a fickle and volatile breed that must be handled with caution. You can make the impulse grab based upon one or two good games, but one awful shelling can have that same player back on the waiver wire faster than you can say – well, practically anything. Will Emerson has given you a few lesser owned names to consider each week in his Field of Streams articles, but this week I am going to recommend a few that you may want to consider for something more than a streaming option – that along with the normal hitter recommendations I’m famous for (at least in my mind).
Travis Wood, Chicago Cubs: From 2011 to 2013 we saw a lot of improvements from Wood, but in 2014 he took a major step back causing fantasy owners to flee and – for the most part – ignore Wood in the 2015 draft. One month into the season it appears that Wood is back on track. I say appears because while there are some positive indicators Wood could be a sustainable product to own, there are a few negative factors as well.
