In the next week or so, we're going to hit the quarter mark of the season ("What... We're already 1/4 finished? Noooo!").

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week Seven
We're halfway through May and the waiver wire is looking a bit scarce these days. Most worthwhile outfielders have been scooped up after hot Aprils, leaving only highly speculative players behind.
