Adam Lind (1B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep and NL-Only Leagues

ANALYSIS: Adam Lind’s bat has been white hot over the first week of the season. He’s batting .450 with four RBI and a home run to boot. This has not escaped the attention of Brewers manager Ron Roenicke, who has slotted Lind into the cleanup spot over the last several games. While the Brewers as a whole have been rather cold on offense thus far, it’s hard not to like the idea of Lind hitting behind Carlos Gomez, Jonathan Lucroy and Ryan Braun.

As many fantasy owners are well aware, Lind’s biggest flaw over his career has been his sizable platoon splits. A career .215 hitter against lefties, Lind was often the first to take a seat on the bench when a southpaw took the mound. The good news is that over the short term, the PiratesJeff Locke is the only lefty of note that the Brewers will be facing. A healthy swath of righties should give Lind plenty of opportunities to provide value for fantasy owners. If he can continue to establish himself as an offensive force in his new manager’s eyes, it’s possible that Lind might even manage to work his way into the lineup as an everyday hitter. After all, the Brewers don’t have much on the depth chart behind him.
