BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
ANALYSIS: Michael Busch is on the "start" list for this upcoming week, after picking up a hit in every game in which he played this week, including a 3-3 outing on Wednesday and a home run in Friday's win over the Dodgers.

He's now hitting .304 to start the season and has played in every Chicago game but one. He's eligible at both corner infield spots, so give him a look if you need depth at either position, this kid can hit and I think he's going to keep this job all season.
Currently eligible at 1B and 3B in many fantasy leagues, Busch comes in as the #17 pickup in our waiver wire rankings, currently only 13% rostered in Yahoo leagues.
