Haiku edition:
A slew of haiku for you
And your baseball crew

RP Ryan Walker, San Francisco Giants (61%)

Best arm in the pen

is now in the closer seat-

he is a must add!

2B Brendan Rodgers, Colorado Rockies (56%)

BA leagues only-

it’s nice to see him hitting

but he has no speed.

SP Cody Bradford, Texas Rangers (55%)

Has swing and miss stuff

and doesn’t walk many guys-

a good recipe.

RP Justin Martinez, Arizona Diamondbacks (51%)

Throws triple digits

with filthy secondaries-

the closer for sure.

SP Zebby Matthews, Minnesota Twins (51%)

Shot through the minors 

and was called up last Tuesday-

he has a great arm.

OF Jo Adell, Los Angeles Angels (47%)

It is so often

the cost of power and speed-

poor ratio stats.

SP Martin Perez, San Diego Padres (47%)

Changed teams and looks great

but is really hard to trust-

start at your own risk.

RP Lucas Erceg, Kansas City Royals (44%)

He has lights-out stuff

and finds himself now closing-

another must add.

OF Andrew Benintendi, Chicago White Sox (42%)

His recent hot stretch-

likely a flash in the pan

but you never know.

RP Seranthony Dominguez, Baltimore Orioles (33%)

With Kimbrel struggling 

Dominguez has two straight saves-

a change of the guard?

SP Matthew Boyd, Cleveland Guardians (27%)

Pitching for Cleveland

and back now from Tommy John-

snag him where you can!

SP Bowden Francis, Toronto Blue Jays (27%)

A couple great starts-

did he figure something out

or has it been luck?

SP Valente Bellozo, Miami Marlins (24%)

Has pitched very well

but looks can be deceiving-

all smoke and mirrors.

1B, 3B Andres Chaparro, Washington Nationals (24%)

Playing every day

And is hitting well so far-

A deep league option.

SS Shay Whitcomb, Houston Astros (21%)

Minor league standout

who was called up recently-

will he get to play?

2B Will Wagner, Toronto Blue Jays (21%)

Super high BABIP

backed by high exit velos-

could be worth a look.

2B, OF Weston Wilson, Philadelphia Phillies (6%)

Has power and speed

But isn’t playing enough-

One for your Watch List.
