BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo leagues
ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters has been getting picked up by a decent amount of Yahoo! owners, as he is just coming off the disabled list. The good news for those looking at a catcher is that he is still WAY under-owned.
He is only 1-for-10 since coming off of the disabled list and only had a .632 OPS with the Nationals in 123 games last season. While Wieters' OPS has dropped in each of the last four seasons (and he has not played more than 125 games since 2013), he is a four-time All-Star that averages 20 home runs per 162 games in his career.
Before going all in on Wieters, remember that Pedro Severino exceled with a .368 average as the main replacement for Wieters to begin the season. While Severino is now the backup, and is better in a two-catcher league, he could get more playing time if Wieters gets hurt, though. Keep an eye on Severino and consider platooning the two catchers in the Nation's capital.
