Ellis Canady profiles infielder Matt Duffy as a waiver wire pickup and add in Week 20 of the 2018 MLB season for his consistency and high upside.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 19% of leagues
ANALYSIS The Rays are putting together a nice young team and infielder Matt Duffy is in position to capitalize on it. He is a steady bat that will get some counting stats if the rest of the offense can do their part. He is not the kind of player that will generate his own production. Duffy is not going to give you a lot of power as he only has a .382 slugging on the season.
However, he can get on base (.353 OBP) and does not strike out a lot (15%). Duffy continues to hit the ball on the ground (55%), but he seems to be finding success as he is hitting .301 this season. He also has 17 doubles and eight stolen bases in 12 attempts. Duffy has a tough assignment this week. He does not have the best schedule with an entire week on the road against the Yankees and Red Sox.
