I'm sure he'll go on a heater immediately, but I can't wait him out any longer:

DROP: Fernando Tatis Jr (SD)

ADD: Seiya Suzuki (CHC)

I believe I have the $25 to play with there

Yeah, a good chunk of my cash is tied up in him. Ketel Marte and J-Rod aren't helping much either. 

I'm just lucky my bench players have picked up the slack.

Last year, I had a three week blowout where my team hit 71 bombs.

You probably don't have to get anywhere near that just to claw your way back up into contention.
