J.T. Realmuto (C, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues. Owned in: 43% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Realmuto posted 10 homers and eight steals with 96 R+RBI last season despite only playing in 126 games and gathering 467 plate appearances. At just 25 years old I expect him to improve on those numbers this year. If you need a catcher in any 12-team league or larger, Realmuto's limited […]
