Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Additions (Apr. 27)

If you're new to this feature, here are the ground rules. 

No player in this space will be mentioned in back-to-back weeks, as we don't want to spam you with the same choices over and over again. We'll also limit the waiver wire suggestions to players owned in fewer than 40 percent of FOXSports.com leagues. Got it? Let's get to the Week 3 fantasy baseball waiver pickups:   

Catcher

Matt Wieters, BAL: (35.1% owned)

The depth at catcher is pretty putrid, but at least we've seen Wieters be productive in the past. He won't catch on consecutive days, which is a problem, but for hyperactive owners who add/drop and set their lineup on a daily basis, Wieters has power (22 HR in 2013) and offers more upside than most. Just don't sit him in your starting catcher slot and leave him there.

First Baseman

Chris Carter, MIL: (35% owned)

If you're in a league that counts OBP instead of AVG (shoutout to fantasy editor Ryan Fowler for having our league do this), Carter should absolutely be owned. You might want to scoop him up either way, honestly, because the power is just too good to ignore. Carter has a three-year average of 30 homers a season, and he's already smacked five this year. The batting average won't stay this high (.297), but it probably won't creep below the Mendoza Line again, either. You're here for the power, anyway.

Second Baseman

Chris Owings, ARI: (5.1% owned)

There aren't a ton of attractive 2B options with low ownership numbers, but Owings isn't a terrible pickup. Owings has SS and CF eligibility, which makes him pretty useful on your bench. He's also swiped four bags this season and bats in a pretty good lineup. If you can sacrifice power for speed, Owings is serviceable.

Third Baseman

Alex Rodriguez, NYY: (40.4% owned)

So we're cheating by .4 percent, but you can't have A-Rod without cheating, right? Honestly, the dislike for him is probably the only reason his ownership is this low, as he did belt 33 homers last year. As satisfying as it might be, you shouldn't hold grudges in fantasy. A-Rod can help your power numbers.

Shortstop

Ketel Marte, SEA: (11.6% owned)

Hopefully you didn't jump ship, because Marte is finally starting to hack it at the plate. Marte has recorded a hit in each of his last seven games and is 10-for-25 during that timeframe. He's only stolen two bases this year, but now that he's getting on board at a higher clip, that number should start to move up quickly.

Outfield

Odubel Herrera, PHI: (13.7% owned)

One of my favorite sleepers in all of fantasy, Herrera has added a valuable tool this year: walks. Herrera has walked 19 times (third most in the majors!) and has kept his average hovering around .300 for the second year in a row. That's pretty good for a 24-year-old who stole 16 bases last year and approached double-digit homers. His ownership should be much, much higher.

Starting Pitcher

Jose Berrios, MIN: (45.6% owned)

When I woke up this morning on the West Coast, Berrios's ownership had already skyrocketed. The early bird gets the worm, I suppose, but there's still a chance to nab him if you haven't already. Berrios has ace quality stuff and was piling up the strikeouts in his three starts in the minors this year. Go get him if you still can.

Relief Pitcher

Alex Colome, TB: (19.8% owned)

He's the clear closer in Tampa Bay with Brad Boxberger still sidelined after core surgery and likely out at least a few more weeks. Colome already has five saves this year and more opportunities are on the way. He may not be a great long-term pickup, but he'll likely help until the end of
