Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller

353 articles

An enthusiast on all things sports and especially all things fantasy sports, Andrew was raised amidst a Detroit sports scene that included an 0-16 Lions team and a 119-loss Tigers team, but still his Detroit fan-hood never wavered. Andrew is thrilled to be part of the RotoBaller team, eager to give his insight on the right moves for fantasy players to make throughout the season.

Trevor Gott (RP, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Trevor Gott earned the first two save opportunities of the season for the team and converted both of them. He's clearly the team's primary closer at least for now. While the Giants don't figure to be in position to […]


Jonathan Schoop (2B, DET) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop is back to being a full-time starter for the first time since he was traded out of Baltimore in 2018. Through his first seven games with the Tigers, Schoop was slashing .269/.276/.615 with three home runs and […]


Alex Gordon Hits First Home Run Of The Season

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon went 1-for-3 against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, hitting his first home run of the season. Gordon is slashing .214/.267/.357 on the year. He's primarily been hitting seventh in the Royals' batting order this season, which doesn't make him very alluring for fantasy purposes. Gordon doesn't offer a […]


Jakob Junis Struggles In First Start Of 2020

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis made his 2020 debut on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox and pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing six hits, two walks and two earned runs. He recorded only two strikeouts in the game. Junis began the season on the Injured List while recovering from a positive COVID-19 test earlier […]


Miguel Cabrera (1B, DET) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a cold start to the season, Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera showed signs of breaking out with a two-home run game on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Three of Cabrera's first four hits of the year were home runs, which […]


Carter Kieboom (SS, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals rookie shortstop Carter Kieboom has been in and out of the lineup so far this year, but when he's been in, he's certainly delivered. Through three starts, Kieboom is hitting 4-for-9 with four runs, three walks, and three strikeouts. All four of […]


Evaluating Rookie Performances – Week 2

In this weekly column, we’ll be featuring rookies who were recently called up or who had the most notable performances in the past week. At the start of this week, we highlighted some of the key rookie performances during the opening weekend, including the hot start of Luis Robert and the MLB debut of Brady […]


Kris Bubic Has Short Outing In MLB Debut

Kansas City Royals pitcher Kris Bubic was tagged with the loss in his MLB debut on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. He pitched four innings and allowed three hits, one walk and three runs, two of which were earned. He struck out three in the game. Bubic earned his opportunity to start due to […]


Salvador Perez Records Three Hits On Friday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez had his first multi-hit game of the year on Friday against the Chicago White Sox, going 3-for-4 with an RBI. Coming into the game, Perez was hitting just .179 on the young season. He's been providing decent power numbers with two home runs and five RBI on the year, […]


Adalberto Mondesi Breaks Out Of Slump With Three Hits

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi entered Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers hitting just 3-for-26 on the year. Fortunately, he showed a glimpse of turning a corner in the game. Mondesi recorded three singles and a run in the team's 5-3 victory. He hit seventh in the game, the lowest he's hit all year […]


Trevor Rosenthal Earns Save For Royals

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal earned his first save of the year against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, making the closer picture even more muddled in Kansas City. Ian Kennedy was thought to be the leading candidate for saves entering the season, but he's yet to get his first save of the year. […]


Brady Singer Solid Again On Thursday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer had another solid showing in his second MLB start against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Singer pitched five innings and allowed five hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out three. The two runs both came on solo home runs. Singer has a 3.60 ERA and […]


Danny Duffy Allows Four Runs Over Five Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was tagged for four earned runs over five innings in Wednesday's start against the Detroit Tigers. He pounded the strike zone in the start, recording strikes on 54 of his 75 pitches. He tallied eight strikeouts and just one walk in the game. Duffy is yet to make […]


Maikel Franco Tallies Three Hits On Wednesday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Franco continued his hot start to the season on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI. He's recorded multiple hits in two of his past three games. Franco and Whit Merrifield have been the only bright spots for the struggling Royals offense so far this year. Through […]


Ian Kennedy Tagged With Loss On Wednesday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy was the losing pitcher in his second appearance of the year on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. He entered the game in the seventh inning when the game was tied 4-4 and went on to give up a solo home run from JaCoby Jones that would be the […]


Mike Montgomery Placed On Injured List

The Kansas City Royals have placed pitcher Mike Montgomery (lat strain) on the Injured List with a lat strain. Montgomery made his first start of the year on Monday against the Detroit Tigers. He lasted just two innings, giving up five hits and five runs, only three of which were earned runs. Montgomery joins fellow […]


Adalberto Mondesi Struggling Out Of The Gate

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi has had a quiet start to the 2020 season. Through five games, he has gone 2-for-21 with nine strikeouts and no walks. He was caught stealing in his only attempt so far. Mondesi is a menace on the base paths. He stole 43 bases in just 102 games last […]


Looking at Rookie Performances - Opening Weekend 2020

As we wait oh-so-impatiently for star Angels prospect Jo Adell to get the call and delay our anticipation for top Blue Jays pitching prospect Nate Pearson, there are still plenty of noteworthy rookie performances to examine from this past weekend's action. We're going to take a look at the most notable performers and look at […]


Whit Merrifield Homers In Second Straight Game

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield was the lone run producer for the team's offense on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Merrifield hit a three-run home run in a game that the team lost 4-3. It was Merrifield's second home run in an as many games. He is now slashing .368/.429/.789 on the young […]


Rougned Odor Hitting Third In Tuesday's Game

The Texas Rangers have shuffled around their batting order a bit as they attempt to get their struggling offense going. Second baseman Rougned Odor had hit out of the five-spot the previous three games, but now he is moving up to third in the order, following leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo and Danny Santana. Odor, a […]


Andrew Benintendi Batting Ninth On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi will bat ninth in the order on Tuesday as the team faces New York Mets lefty David Peterson. Benintendi sat last time the team faced a left-handed starter on Sunday, but he also led off against the left-handed Tommy Milone on Opening Day. Benintendi is just 1-for-14 to start […]


Gerrit Cole To Take Mound On Wednesday Against Orioles

The New York Yankees are reworking the order of their starting rotation in response to the two games being cancelled this week. Gerrit Cole is now scheduled to pitch on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles, assuming the game is played. J.A. Happ will then follow him up and make his season debut on Thursday. The […]


Andrelton Simmons Out Of Lineup On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) exited Monday's game after turning his ankle and he will not be part of the lineup on Tuesday. Hopefully it's nothing serious, but his absence from the lineup is no surprise. It also coincides with Anthony Rendon's 2020 debut. With Rendon at third, David Fletcher is shifting over […]


Anthony Rendon Making His Angels Debut On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (oblique) will officially make his debut with the team on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. Rendon will start at third base and hit third in the order. Rendon had been nursing an oblique injury that the team was taking day-by-day. The star third baseman is coming off a […]


Joe Biagini Placed On Injured List

The Houston Astros have placed relief pitcher Joe Biagini (shoulder) on the Injured List with a sore shoulder. Right-handed reliever Andre Scrubb was added to the team's roster in a corresponding move. The Astros are currently hurting badly at pitcher, both starters and relievers. Relievers Chris Devenski and Ryan Pressly are dealing with sore shoulders […]


Miles Mikolas To Miss The Rest Of The 2020 Season

Updating a previous news item, it has been announced that St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas (flexor tendon) will undergo surgery on his flexor tendon and miss the rest of the season. According to the Cardinals organization, the hope is that Mikolas will be ready for the start of the 2021 season. Daniel Ponce De […]


Giants Call Up Catcher Chadwick Tromp

The San Francisco Giants have called up catcher Chadwick Tromp. They have DFA'd Rob Brantly in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old Tromp has an intriguing profile. He's never played in the majors before. Last year, which he primarily spent at Triple-A, he slashed .280/.397/.568 with nine home runs and 37 RBI in just 42 games. […]


Kyle Crick Placed On The Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Kyle Crick (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day Injured List with a right shoulder/lat muscle strain. The team also placed fellow reliever Clay Holmes (right forearm strain) on the Injured List. They have called up Geoff Hartlieb and Miguel Del Pozo from their alternate team to replace the relievers on […]


Joc Pederson Sits Against Lefty Again On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson will be out of the lineup for the second straight game as the team faces Houston Astros lefty Framber Valdez on Tuesday. Pederson started the team's first three games of the year against the San Francisco Giants, facing two righties and lefty Tyler Anderson. Pederson went 1-for-3 with a […]


Austin Riley Getting First Day Off On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman/outfielder Austin Riley will head to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be his first day off of the year. It's been a sluggish start to the year for Riley. He has a home run, but has just two hits in his first 14 at-bats. He's […]
