Deep League OF Waiver Wire Help

In deeper leagues, it's completely understandable that you may go through quite a few outfielders during the course of the season. The goal is to ride hot streaks and drop them when they get cold. If you happen to find an outfielder to hold onto all season-long, then consider yourself lucky.

Keon Broxton may be the guy you are looking to snag for a season-long replacement in the outfielder position. He was recently called up on Tuesday and in 3 games is batting .444 with 2 home runs, 4 RBI, and 4 runs scored to go along with 1 stolen base.

That's quite a way to make an impression in just 3 games, but the real good news comes when you factor in how he played last year. At this point in the season he was hitting .242 with 13 home runs, 32 RBI, 45 runs scored and 14 stolen bases. Everything except the average are very good numbers for the halfway point in the season.

So far in his short career, his numbers do indicate that the weakest part of his game is probably his batting average. However, if you are taking a chance on an outfielder, odds are that the rest of his game is better than who you are already starting.

Would you rather be playing Billy Hamilton or Keon Broxton? I don't think there is any question that Broxton is the better play.

He is currently owned in just 13% of leagues and should be picked up as an injury replacement or teams in need of strengthening their outfielders. He is the perfect player to take a chance on, especially if you are looking to bolster the stolen bases category.
