Fantasy Baseball Watchlist: Key Waiver Wire and Trade Targets

The latest edition of 'The Watchlist' highlights players to monitor for fantasy baseball, focusing on potential waiver wire pickups and trade targets. This column aims to assist fantasy managers in identifying players who could become valuable assets as the season progresses.

Among the featured players is John Rave of the Kansas City Royals, who, despite a batting average of .222 and a .311 on-base percentage in 124 plate appearances, shows promise for improvement. His recent performance includes a .240 batting average and a .387 OBP since early September, along with two home runs and three stolen bases this month.

Another player to watch is Graham Pauley of the Miami Marlins, who has demonstrated a significant uptick in performance, batting .290 with a .361 OBP since August 11. Although his overall season stats show a .214 average and four home runs, his recent form suggests he could be a valuable addition for fantasy managers, especially in deeper leagues.
