Brett Lawrie (2B / 3B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: After a rough start to the season, Brett Lawrie has finally started producing, and in a big way recently. On the season Lawrie has 11 doubles, four HR, two SB, and a .281 BA. Lawrie had a pretty bad start to the season, with an April BA of .229 and an OPS of .595. Lawrie warmed up in May with a .295 BA and a .725 OPS and has gotten off to a scorching start in June with a .571 BA and a 1.482 OPS.

Lawrie is a good 10-10 candidate with a high BA and eligibility at two infield positions. So why have some soured on Lawrie? It mostly comes down to his injury history. Lawrie's career high AB per season is 494 which he accumulated in 2012. In that season, Lawrie had 11 HR and 13 SB on a .273 BA. In 2011 Lawrie had nine HR and went 7-8 in SB attempts in just 150 AB. If Lawrie had reached 494 AB in 2o11, he would've been on pace to hit 30 HR and steal 23 bases. In 2013 Lawrie hit 11 HR and had nine SB in just 401 AB and was on pace for 13.55 HR and 11.1 SB if he had reached 494 AB. Last season, Lawrie was able to hit 12 HR on just a .247 BA and 259 AB. If Lawrie had reached his career high 494 AB last season, he was on pace to hit 23 HR.

If Lawrie remains healthy (and maybe even exceeds his career high 494 AB), then he is a good candidate to produce solid HR and SB numbers with a solid BA while filling in for your team at two different positions. Brett Lawrie is only 25 years old and through all streaks, his great glove will help keep him on the field. If Lawrie is on the field, the savvy fantasy baseball manager won't forget what Lawrie is capable of.
