Daily Roto Pickups: May 3

Hitter 

Michael Brantley - OF -  Cleveland Indians (26% owned)
I have a thing for patient hitters and when they can add some speed they are worth owning.  Brantley hasn't shown a lot of power in his young career, but he still has time to develop a bit more strength and he could top 10 homers in a good year.

Put that with an OBP around .360 and you have a guy who can supply runs, steals and a solid average or OBP depending on your league.  He's getting his best chance this year so I expect big things from him.

Pitcher


Chris Narveson - SP - Milwaukee Brewers (53% owned)
His ownership has dropped, but his ERA has been deceiving so far.  He has a FIP of 3.31 and has been striking out batters very well for someone on the waivers in many leagues.

He can strike out around 8 batters per nine and his walk rate is not great, but so far his control numbers have been solid.  He gives up a few to many fly balls, but as far as waiver wire options he should give you better strikeouts than most and an average to above average ERA and WHIP.
