Last week's top waiver wire pickups seemed exciting at the time -- and, indeed, they're worth checking out again, as some of the names are still probably available in your leagues -- but the headliner, top prospect Julio Urias, hasn't lived up to the hype. Of course, as every fantasy baseball owner should know, that shouldn't discourage you from picking up Urias if he's still available or getting back on the wire and trolling for more, perhaps less-shiny, players who can help your team.
The "less shiny" definitely applies to this week's recommendations, which is comprised largely of pitchers.
