Fantasy Baseball: Starting pitcher waiver wire analysis for Week 17
Finding the perfect pitcher to add to your Fantasy baseball team can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which low-owned pitchers you should target, and which you should avoid, heading into Week 17, you absolutely need to see what Fantasy analyst Jeff Zimmerman has to say.
Zimmerman has written at FanGraphs, Hardball Times, RotoWire, ESPN, Baseball America, and Beyond the Boxscore. He has won several FSTA awards including Best Baseball Series and Football Writer of the Year. He's participated in Tout Wars and won it twice (15-mixed auction and 12-team H2H). Along with Tanner Bell, he just published the first edition of "The Process", a complete guide for running your own Fantasy baseball start-to-finish. If there's anybody who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of some of the most intriguing waiver wire pitchers for Week 17. One thing we can tell you: Zimmerman is intrigued by Diamondbacks pitcher Alex Young, saying he's a great option for deeper leagues especially.
"He seems to have a Tommy Milone feel to him with a couple of good breakers but a fastball that will get pounded," Zimmerman said. "For now, I think he's a must-own in deeper leagues as his talent becomes known and a streaming option in leagues with 12 or few teams."
Zimmerman has also identified a recent Cy Young finalist who you should completely avoid even though he's owned in under 30 percent of league. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his breakdowns before making the call on any waiver wire pitchers.
So which low-owned pitchers should you target heading into the second half of the season? And which recent Cy Young finalist should be left in the free agent pool? ...
