Offensive Waiver Wire find

So this morning we're going to look a hitter who is likely going to be on the wire.

Mark Kotsay has been hot lately hitting home runs and driving in runs. After a rash of injuries to my outfield in the last couple of days, I have to look at help from the wire. Kotsay has started the year well:

G   AB    R    H   2B 3B  HR  RBI  SB CS  BB  SO   BA   OBP   SLG *OPS+  TB   SH  SF IBB HBP GDP
35  129   18   39   7  2   3   18   2  1  12  12  .302  .362  .457  117   59   1   0   1   0   8

With this is a BABIP of .317 which means that so far this isn't a fluke. He's earning basically every base hit he has. He will be facing PHI, Oak, and NYM pitching over the next several days so he has a decent chance to hit against some average to slightly above average pitching. Once it starts to heat up across the nation, his hits will fly a lot more and he has a very good chance to hit 15-20HR on the year and give you 10SB.

Kotsay is a streaky hitter and you should ride the streak as long as you can as he could be a very valueable 3rd/4th OF.

He is owned in only 17% of CBS leagues and 26.6% of ESPN leagues.
