Fantasy Baseball Pickups: Race to the waiver wire for Matt Shaw

Shaw has been terrific since he returned from exile in Iowa. He just went 5-for-11 with 2 runs, 2 RBI and 2 steals in the Miami series, and his late-inning stolen base on Wednesday was basically the game-winning play. There should be a spot for Shaw on someone’s roster in pretty much any league. If the power/speed potential doesn’t do it for you, the multi-position eligibility should. He was raking at Triple-A before he was recalled and he’s sustained that level of play so far in the big leagues.

Meidroth is something like the south side version of Shaw, except A) he’s batting at the top of the lineup and B) he doesn’t offer the same power upside.
