ANALYSIS: A waiver wire revelation last year, Billy Burns rewarded owners with 26 steals and a .294 average. Higher expectations have been placed on Burns this year and as a result, his "slow start" has been perceived as a disappointment. Realistically, Burns is on pace to produce very similar numbers. He is second in the AL with nine stolen bases and is projected to steal 35 by year's end. His .273 is not far off last season either and closely resembles his .289 career average in the minors. Although he wasn't high on the fantasy radar to begin 2015, he was actually a starter early on and made 555 plate appearances in all. Anyone expecting a 50-steal season is likely to be disappointed, but if you can live with 30-40 SB and a reasonably high average, Burns is your man.
