Let's face it, we could all use a little bit of help on our fantasy teams. I'm currently mired with Chris Davis and Mark Teixeira as my corner infielders in one of my fantasy leagues. I can't cut either, but I could sure use some stop-gap assistance until they both wake up.If you're looking for some power potential off of the waiver wire, I've found four hitters who could step in until some of your big bats wake up.
Mike Jacobs, Royals - Jacobs popped 32 home runs last season and already has four more in the early stages on 2009. He's batting .282/.349/.692 and has ten RBI. Currently he's sitting on the waiver wire in 79% of Yahoo fantasy leagues. That's a shame because he could probably help a lot of fantasy teams.
Mike Cameron, Brewers - Seven of Cameron's 12 base hits this season have been for extra bases. He's also stolen two bases, has six RBI and pretty good slash stats of .316/.422.711. He's only owned in 42% of Yahoo leagues and should be considered in leagues where you use five outfielders.
Mike Lowell, Red Sox - Lowell seems to be back from his injury plagued 2008 season and hitting the ball well. His 13 RBI are only three behind league leader Andre Ethier and he's hitting .280/.333/.480. His numbers aren't quite good enough to be your starting third baseman, but in leagues that use corner infielders, Lowell is certainly worth owning while he's driving in runs. He's only owned in 36% of Yahoo leagues right now.
Jason Kubel, Twins - Kubel hit for the cycle last weekend and has had two four-hit games over the past week. He's hit two home runs and driven in 12 this season and could help some in deeper leagues with five outfielders. He's batting .333/.362/.578 right now and is owned in only 20% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.
