Michael Griffin recommends James McCann as a waiver wire target or add for Week 19 of the 2017 fantasy baseball season for his power production.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues
ANALYSIS: James McCann has been a hot property lately, with thousands of leagues snapping him up like he's the next coming of Mike Piazza. Well, maybe that's a little bit of hyperbole, but the fact that he drove in five runs on Aug. 12 seems to have sent a lot of fantasy owners into a tizzy. That and the fact that there seem to be more catchers on the disabled list than actually on the field. It's been so bad that even Matt Wieters is back in favor.
Right now, a lot of owners are just grasping at straws when it comes to catchers, and McCann's .251/11/37 line might not be the most impressive, but right now, if you don't have a top tier catcher that's still injury-free, you're going to want a semi-competent warm body up there and McCann fills the bill. For now.
