These are your second base and shortstop fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups for Week 17 - July 17 through July 23. If Tovar is available in your league, I'd add him over the fresh batch of names below.Īs a reminder, we'll be looking at pickups for shallow leagues (30-49% rostered) and deeper formats (10-29%), as well as highlighting prospects in the single digits who may get the call and deserve a spot on your watch list at the very least. That being said, as long as his roster rate is under 100 percent, it's not high enough. The 21-year-old top prospect for the Rockies has been featured in this space more often than anyone this season and his roster rate just finally crept back over 50 percent. While we're in the intro, it behoves me to mention Ezequiel Tovar yet again, who remains available in roughly half of fantasy leagues. But no more! We had a full slate of games on Friday and Saturday and it's time to hit the waiver wire to prep for the stretch run. It's four days of opening fantasy apps, seeing "no game" next to all the players, then closing the app in disappointment. As fun as the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby can be, that week really brings fantasy baseball to a grinding halt. Wow, does it feel good to have baseball back in our lives.
