Should You be Adding Jackson Holliday Off the Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire?

It's time for another set of fantasy baseball waiver wire stories! 

We'll begin with fantasy hitters, not including anyone who appeared in Monday's story. Check back soon for a waiver wire pitcher story.

Check out the top fantasy baseball waiver wire options everyday on FantasySP. 

Should You Add Jackson Holliday?

We'll kick things off with Baltimore's Holliday, who is up 4.37% today. He's owned in 63.37% of fantasy leagues overall.

Across 28 games this season, Holliday has gotten 97 plate appearances. He has a .273 batting average and .340 on-base percentage, along with 11 RBIs, two stolen bases, seven walks and 11 runs scored. 

Holliday has been caught stealing twice and struck out 22 times. Among his 24 total hits, Holliday has four home runs and a double and triple.

He has hits in eight of his past 10 games, and 11 total knocks over that span. Holliday has two homers, along with three RBIs, a stolen base, two walks, six runs scored and six strikeouts as well.

Holliday has made 24 appearances at second base, but also got in five games at shortstop. If he's eligible at shortstop too, then his fantasy value goes up a bit more.

Holliday is starting to flash his potential after struggling across 60 games and 208 plate appearances last season. He hit just .189 and got on base at a .255 clip. He had five homers, four doubles and two triples among his 36 hits, along with 23 RBIs, four stolen bases, 15 walks, 28 runs scored and 69 strikeouts.

Holliday was a highly-regarded prospect, and it's possible he just wasn't quite ready for the big leagues last season. He's starting to look like a future star, and he's still only 21 years old.

Holliday needs to be rostered in all dynasty/keeper leagues, along with deeper redraft leagues. He's creeping into standard redraft leagues with his recent hot streak.

If he has dual position eligibility, I'd heavily consider adding Holliday now in standard leagues. If you aren't quite ready to start him, stashing him isn't the worst of ideas either - you probably have a player who is expendable who could be dropped to make room for Holliday.

Some of you lacking a second baseman (or shortstop) should probably be adding Holliday today. He's worth the gamble, especially because even better fantasy production could be coming.

Should You Add Ryan O'Hearn?

Another Oriole here in O'Hearn, who is up 3.39% and now up to 31.29% overall.

The left-handed power threat has a .306 average and .379 OBP across 25 games and 95 plate appearances so far. O'Hearn has four doubles and seven homers among his 26 total knocks, along with 14 RBIs, a stolen base, 14 runs scored, nine walks and 14 strikeouts.

He's also been hot at the plate of late, collecting 10 hits over his past eight contests. O'Hearn has four homers and a double in that span, along with eight RBIs, three walks, six runs scored and seven strikeouts.

He also might be eligible at a couple fantasy positions. O'Hearn has played six games at first base and in right field, and could also have left field eligibility after playing there several games last year. He also should be able to slot in as a designated hitter.

O'Hearn usually only starts against right-handed starters, but he made a start against a lefty on Saturday. He slots into the cleanup spot in most starts against righties, which gives him plenty of fantasy value.

I think O'Hearn is a fantasy player who is constantly underrated. More times than not, he's a good deep-league option, at least, and the same can be said this season.

I think O'Hearn should be closer to being considered in standard leagues, not available in nearly 7/10 leagues. He could be added and started by a good number of you reading, and he'd probably be locked into a starting spot for most of the rest of the season.

He just misses the top-15 spots among fantasy first basemen in ESPN leagues. 

Just add O'Hearn and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Should You Add Daniel Schneemann?

Schneemann is rostered in 13.41% of leagues after a 3.24% increase today.

Across 25 games and 70 plate appearances this season, Schneemann has a .274 average and .348 OBP. He's got four homers and five doubles among his 17 total knocks, along with 10 RBIs, seven walks, nine runs scored and 19 strikeouts.

All but one of his hits have come across hias past 17 appearances. He has 48 plate appearances over that span, and has been starting/playing regularly over that stretch.

He didn't make it to the big leagues until last season as a 27-year-old. Schneeman had a .218 average, but a .303 OBP across 73 games and 221 plate appearances last year. I doubt he keeps performing as well as he is this season, but there's a chance he remains a decent deep-league option at least.

He plays all over the field, which helps the team get him in the lineup when his bat is hot. Schneemann has played at second and third base, along with left, center and right field this season. See what positions he's eligible at in your league.

He's a deep-league waiver possibility for some of you. He's not a must-add player, but a lot of you could benefit from having him on your roster. Even if you don't want to add and start him, his position versatility might be nice to have available on your bench.

Should You Add Dane Myers?

Myers is red hot at the plate, and is up to 9.65% rostered after a 2.97% increase. 

Across 24 games and 69 plate appearances this year, Myers has a .344 average and .391 OBP. He has three doubles and homers among his 22 total knocks, along with 13 RBIs, five stolen bases and walks, 10 runs scored and 17 strikeouts.

Eight of his hits have come over the past six contests. He's got two homers and a double in that span, along with eight RBIs, three stolen bases, four walks, three runs scored and three strikeouts as well.

He also plays multiple positions, but just in the outfield. Still, Myers is doing enough at the plate and on the basepaths to consider in deeper fantasy leagues.

Myers had played just 66 MLB games coming into this season, and had a .265 average and .315 OBP across 178 plate appearances. There's a chance he remains relevant in fantasy all season, even if he regresses a bit from his current marks.

Right now, he can be added and started in some deeper leagues, but in time, he might just be a bench option. With that thought in mind, I'd not call him a must-add player, and only a player to target if you have an open roster spot, or a need in the outfield.

Should You Add Trent Grisham?

Grisham is sitting at 40% rostered right now. He was under 5% exactly a month ago.

Grisham is up to 91 plate appearances over 28 games played so far. He has a .296 average and .374 OBP, along with 15 RBIs, nine walks, 16 runs scored and 18 strikeouts. Grisham has a double and eight homers among his 24 total knocks.

Grisham has been a surprise performer for the Yankees, but he's been a productive fantasy asset in the past, so it's not all that surprising. He's starting most days and batting either first or second, which is obviously a good place for a fantasy hitter to be.

Again, I'm not going to say Grisham is a must-add player in deeper leagues, but there's probably not too many better options in those leagues. I'd do my best to avoid adding him in standard redraft leagues, at least for now.

Give Grisham some consideration if you have an open roster spot, or have a need for a fantasy outfielder.
