How many times has this happened to you? All the good players and breakouts are taken, but....
-Your player hits the DL and you need a temporary replacement.
-A shallow position isn't performing and you want to platoon or ride the hot hand all season.
-You need a backup player to play on days off of your starters or a multiposition player.
What you need is a guy that sucks enough to be on waivers, but is on a hot streak.
How does one spot a hot streak?
Oh sure, I can spot them after 3 weeks-1 month when it's obvious, but by then he's taken or back down to earth.
I've had bad luck this year with low priority positions like catcher, SS, & 2B. When the good players are gone, I go for Catchers with decent average & good average base stealing 2B/shortstops. However, with my problems, I need to spot hot streaks so that I can rotate guys in the true spirit of...
...rotisserie.
