Waiver Wire Help

Here are a few pitchers and position players that may be available in your league and able to help you out.

Colby Lewis-SP Texas Rangers Lewis has been solid in his last three starts.  Prior to that he had been very inconsistent and may have scared some owners away.  He is still far from a sure thing and you will want to play the matchups and proceed with caution.  He faces a below average Orioles squad on the heels of a 6k, 0BB performance. 

Scott Baker-SP Minnesota Twins Baker has worked his way back in to being the ace of the Twins staff.  Four of his last five starts have been wins and in that time he is averaging nearly a K/IP

Jeff Karstens-SP Pittsburgh Pirates The surprise of the season has to be the Pirates who are only 2 games out of first in the cluttered NL Central.  Karstens has been a workhorse of late working in to the seventh inning allowing 3ERs or fewer in each of his last six starts.

Daniel Murphy-1B, 2B, 3B NY Mets Murphy has hit so well of late he should continue to find at bats even after David Wright returns from the DL.  His versatility will make him a popular fill in for days off.  He hit .330 in June and registered 7 runs and 11 RBIs in the last two weeks.

Jason Bay-OF NY Mets Combine his slow start and some injury woes and there is a good chance that Bay is available in your league.  If you can look past his pedestrian .244 season average his recent hot streak where he raised his average 26 points in 14 games might be the boost you need.  Bay has five tool capability if he can stay hot & healthy!

Vernon Wells-OF LA Angels Wells' average is still floating around the Mendoza line but his bat has been extremely hot of late.  Wells has hit over .300 since mid-June and can offer your team decent power along with some help in runs and RBIs.
