Fantasy Baseball 2019 Week 10 Weekend Waiver Adds

Here are some players to add to your fantasy baseball team if you’re looking tio make even the slightest improvements.

The waiver wire pool is drying up very quickly. With players returning from injury and other players struggling to hit, fantasy baseball owners are not afraid to make a switch. There are plenty of players on hot streaks that need to be owned in more leagues.

I don’t care if a player is not owned in a lot of leagues. Every league is different. And based on scoring or categories, some players are more valuable than others. For this post, the players listed have some fantasy value that will help at least one fantasy owner.

All of the players listed are owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues. Based on their current string of performances, that number needs to be much higher.

Here are my six players to add this weekend, ahead of Week 11.

Ramon Laureano

Laureano is known for his great arm in the outfield but his bat is what will get him noticed in fantasy leagues. Over the last week, he is hitting .304 with two home runs, five RBIs and two steals.

He has scored a run in four straight games. Though, Laureano does strike out a bit too much. He has seven strikeouts, two walks and nine hits over his last seven games.

The A’s lineup is heating up and Laureano’s bat and speed should help his ownership percentage.

Niko Goodrum

Goodrun has first base, second base and outfield eligibility. He is two games away from reaching shortstop as well, but that depends on your league’s settings. I like players with multi-position eligibility, especially mixing infield and outfield.

For offense, Goodrum has been contributing for the Tigers. Before his 0-for-4 game, he was on a seven-game hit streak, including a 5-for-5 game, with three home runs and five RBIs.

Like Laureano, Goodrum strikes out a bit too much. If you have that has a negative stat in head-to-head or points leagues, you may want to stay away from him.

Willy Adames

The Rays are on pace to make the playoffs and Adames’ current streak is helping them with the playoff push. He is on an eight-game hitting streak with a .343 average, two home runs, seven RBIs, three runs and two steals.

Adames has been hitting in the middle of the Rays lineup over the last two weeks. After spending most of the season hitting eighth or ninth, moving to fourth or fifth will give him more at-bats, which leads to more hits, runs and RBIs.

Eric Lauer

Lauer is on a nice three-game win streak. He limited both the Diamondbacks, Yankees and Phillies to one run each with a combined 14 strikeouts and three walks. Lauer makes his next start on Saturday against Washington.

Lauer’s spot may be at risk with the impending return of Dinelson Lamet. But, if Lauer continues to pitch the way he has been, he’ll lock up a spot for himself in the rotatin.

Dakota Hudson

Hudson is pitching pretty well over the last month. He has five straight quality starts with two wins in his last five games. While he hasn’t pitched more than 6.1 innings, he’s keeping the Cardinals in the game.

In that span, he has a 2.64 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 16 strikeouts and 13 walks. He makes his next start on June 11 against the Marlins. Seeing how they played against the Brewers, he may be better suited on the bench.

Hudson doesn’t get many strikeouts but he does limit opposing runs and has win potential.

Adam Ottavino

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned every Yankees reliever at least once this season. Ottavino is on fire over the last six weeks. He has not allowed a run since April 21. Since then, he has 19 strikeouts, 10 walks and 11 holds in 17.1 innings.

The walks are a bit concerning but the fact that he’s getting out of any trouble is a good sign that he doesn’t get shaken up. If you use holds or are looking for security if you’re an Aroldis Chapman owner, then Ottavino is a good add.

Like with all waiver wire picks, there’s a reason they aren’t owned more. Don’t be afraid to cut them when the bottom drops out and they start to struggle. Just have to find the next flavor of the week. It’s all about winning a championship.
