BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues
OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Even though Jayson Werth has reverted back to his 2012 ways, he is still a viable option for anyone in need of outfield help especially with the Nationals needing any and all help they can get.
Yes, his season numbers have not been up to par even for career averages, but he has been on a tear the past few weeks and owners should take notice. Werth has a .317 batting average with an OPS near 1.000 with four home runs, nine runs batted in, and six doubles over the past few weeks. Also during that time, his 1.83 BB/K ratio has been a vast improvement over his season average .45 BB/K ratio showing his recent improved discipline.
The ISO of .147 still shows that Werth has the ability to have a solid last few weeks of the year, but a lot will depend on if the Nationals stay competitive down the stretch. If the team stays in it and his bat can stay hot Werth is going to be a sneaky play for teams vying for the playoffs or making a late move to boost them deeper into the playoffs.
