Kyle Hendricks (SP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in Late Rounds / Waiver Wire Pickup in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Kyle Hendricks will slot into the Cubs fourth starter spot this year after last season's fantastic rookie performance, finishing 7-2 with a 2.46 ERA and 47:15 K:BB ratio in 80 innings. The 25-year-old shouldn't be counted on to strikeout many batters, but he should still be an asset in most other pitching categories making him a great value at his current ADP of 281.

Hendricks was never a top prospect in the Cubs system, often getting overlooked because he doesn't throw hard and is more of a control type pitcher. What can't be overlooked is his 2.79 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 268 innings between Double-A and Triple-A the last two years. It may be difficult for Hendricks to replicate last season's numbers across a full big league season, but his minor league track record suggests he should be in line for a successful sophomore campaign in 2015. If you are willing to sacrifice some strikeout potential, Hendricks is one of the best starting pitchers to target late in drafts. And for those who have already drafted, he is still only 23% owned and should be grabbed off the waiver wire.
