Jose Bautista (OF, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 19% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Everyone is about ready to write off Atlanta Braves outfielder Jose Bautista from ever being fantasy relevant again. Yes, that is the most likely outcome, but there are a few factors that could give him one last chance in 2018. For one, his recent form looks pretty good, as he went 6-for-15 in Triple-A at-bats and added a homer.

Joey Bats has continued that trend in the majors thus far, collecting a hit in each of his three starts over the weekend. His batting position in what looks to be a potent lineup all of a sudden could be very beneficial. He is hitting just behind Ozzie AlbiesRonald AcunaFreddie Freeman, and Nick Markakis; there should be plenty of RBI opportunities there. Also, remember he managed to hit 23 bombs last year in Toronto, and his batting average was barely over .200. Lastly, while his batting average has been poor over the last three seasons, he does have a .348 OBP over that time period, something that should lead to runs scored in a strong Atlanta lineup.

Atlanta has a very hitter-friendly park, and there could be 25 home runs waiting for Bautista when the weather warms up. Take a chance on him if you are in need of some power and RBI upside at the outfield position. Also, remember that he will be getting 3B eligibility as well.
