Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Top 10 Pickups for Week 5

A wise fantasy baseball manager knows not to rock the boat too much in April, but will that patience extend into May?

Enough stats are accumulating to start fretting the ace with the ERA over 5.00 and the star hitter batting below the Mendoza Line. As gamers wait on their established picks to wake up, lesser players are delivering to nobody's benefit on the waiver wire.

Don't go dropping a trustworthy mainstay for any of these free agents—all of whom are available in more than half of Yahoo Sports leagues. This list predominantly features speculative adds or guys to temporarily enjoy during a hot streak. Few of them will make a long-term impact in standard mixed leagues, but some certainly boast the potential to break out.

Ready to dump that late-round flier falling flat on his face? Consider filling his roster spot with one of these free agents.
