Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 10

What a full out sprint of a Major-League Baseball regular season. It provided highs, lows, and forced fantasy owners to make tough decisions that rewarded those who played boldly. Deciding which players would man a fantasy team’s rotation was the most important of all. Certain players had to be sold or bought much earlier than usual […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 9

Entering week nine of the season there are still a couple of game-changing arms to help propel a championship run. The list consists of Yankees old and new, an unbeaten rookie, and an absolute Cub killer. With so many injuries league-wide there is no excuse not to jump all over these starters. Here are the […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 8

The injuries to starting pitchers keep adding up and many fantasy owners are well out of IL spots by now. The replacement players they pick up off waivers is crucial if an owner's aspiration of winning their fantasy league are to be realized. Just look at Elieser Hernandez, he’s been included on virtually every waiver […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 7

We did it, everybody! We finally did it! We finally got Pablo Lopez’s ownership above 50%. After being included in the pre-season waiver wire article and every week thereafter he is finally where he belongs, in the tier of potential aces. In all seriousness, this is what playing the waiver wire is all about. Getting […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 6

Most fantasy teams know where they stand entering week six of this condensed fantasy baseball season. Chances are that the teams floating around the bottom of the league do not have enough time to claw their way back. Never say never but, chances are it’s over for almost 50% of teams in any given league […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

Most breakout starters who were afterthoughts to start the year have found their way onto a fantasy roster by now. Such as Dylan Bundy, Dustin May, Aaron Civale, and even the legend that is Randy Dobnak. However, there are still plenty of young, high-upside starters to be plucked from the waiver wire. Who to add […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

As week four approaches, the season is starting to take shape. Sample sizes for all statistics and analytics are getting larger, therefore becoming more indicative of future outcomes. Both pitchers and hitters are starting to show their true colors, making it easier to identify good matchups. With that being said let’s delve into the waiver […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire - Week 3

11 days of baseball down, hopefully another 58 to go. For all those who picked up Pablo Lopez, or Matt Shoemaker for two starts, it was a rough way to start the season. That’s just the reality of how this year is going to play out. The schedule will take completely unforeseen turns at a […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 2

Whether your league has a week one that runs for eleven days, or a week two that starts on Monday, there are plenty of arms on the waiver wire just waiting to help your team contend for a title. Most of these players won’t single-handedly win a week but they are all capable of going […]


Young Blue Jays Lineup Set To Make Impact in 2020

In 2019, the Yankees and Marlins were tied for the youngest starting lineup in the Majors at 26.5 years of age. Heading into 2020, the average age of the Blue Jays' starting lineup in 25.5, with 30-year-old Travis Shaw projected to be their oldest starter. There is such a great deal of variance on how […]


SP Waiver Wire Pickups for Deeper Leagues

It still doesn’t feel real, but starting on July 23rd the MLB will embark on a 60 -game sprint to the Playoffs. Then in the blink of an eye, October baseball will be here, culminating in one team lifting the most strangely won pennant in history. With the baseball season taking shape in such an […]


Overvalued and Undervalued Shortstops in 2020

In the last few seasons, the shortstop position has improved tremendously with the emergence of All-Stars like Alex Bregman, Trea Turner, and Trevor Story. The position has four potential first-round picks, and a staggering ten picks in the top 40 according to NFBC. By comparison, second base and third base have five players each in […]


Overvalued and Undervalued Starting Pitchers

Spring training is often the time when players start climbing up or freefalling down draft boards. This year, however, without a full spring training to draw from, there is less talk of a pitcher with a new and improved change-up, and fewer managers blowing smoke, influencing fantasy owners. Nevertheless, there is still plenty of value […]


Later-Round WHIP Warriors

Every season, fantasy owners across head-to-head leagues are faced with a tough decision on draft day. Do they load up on crummy starting pitchers at the end of the draft to amass wins and strikeouts? Or do they opt to only roster good starters and spend late-round draft picks on relievers to help with ERA […]


Starting Pitchers Who Could Bust Your Season

Every season there are countless players who do not live up to expectations. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they had a bad season or that they were not an asset to their fantasy team. Simply, it means that they did not return the expected value based on how high they were drafted. For example, J.D. […]


Dynasty League Buy/Sell

With the uncertainty of opening day, there is no better time to play in an MLB Fantasy Dynasty League. Due to the league format, it by far the most unaffected by the delay of Opening Day. Drafting and trading can proceed in full force as the value assigned to these players go long beyond this […]


Three National League Outfielders Set To Break Out in 2019

Before listing the three National League outfielders destined for breakout seasons, it’s best to define what I classified as a “breakout” candidate. I decided to choose players that fantasy owners have seen on the waiver wire over the past few seasons. Perhaps these players have even found their way onto a roster or two. However, […]


Predicting the Top 10 Home Run Hitters of 2019

Last year 14 players hit over 35 or more home runs; the year before that it was 18. The point is, narrowing such an impressive pool of players down to 10 is challenging. The list is realistic but I wanted to be slightly bold as well. It wouldn’t be much of a prediction if we […]


ADP Cost Analysis - Robbie Ray vs Andrew Heaney

When drafting a pitcher, the vast majority of owners put an emphasis on upside, selecting a player based on his best-case scenario. That’s what makes Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray so intriguing, and why he has a 120 ADP. After lighting up the league in 2017, people are still holding out hope that the best is yet […]


ADP Cost Analysis - Buster Posey vs Danny Jansen

For years, the only way for fantasy owners to guarantee having a catcher that didn’t drain their batting average was to draft Buster Posey. Since entering the league in 2009, he has a career BA of .306, more than compensating for his relative lack of power. However, in his ninth season, at 31-years-old, the wear […]


Mike Zunino (C, TB) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 225 CURRENT ADP: ~245 overall ANALYSIS: Acquired by Tampa Bay in the offseason, Mike Zunino could exceed his draft value more than anyone at his position. More so than prospects unproven in the majors, such as Willians Astudillo and Francisco Mejia, who are going ahead of him. With catcher being as […]


Mike Zunino - 2019 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

There are three distinct tiers at the catcher position entering 2019. Gary Sanchez and J.T. Realmuto stand alone as one and two. Behind them in no particular order are, Salvador Perez, Wilson Ramos, Willson Contreras, Buster Posey, and Yasmani Grandal. However, by season's end Mike Zunino may find himself in that discussion as the 12th […]
