Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

13 articles

You won't find a bigger Cubs fan than myself. Aside from my love of fantasy sports, which includes MLB, NFL and NBA, I own my own animal care business. I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago and currently reside in Chicago, IL. My love of fantasy sports started for me in the early 2000's and I have steadily been active with the same group of friends year in and year out for every league in baseball, basketball and football. I am hoping to help all RotoBaller members with any questions they may have. I consider myself an expert with minor league prospects, as it is a love of mine. I hope to give the best advice I can to the RotoBaller world!

Week 26 Middle Infield (MI) Waiver Wire Targets

Championship week is among us! If you have made it this far, you are certainly doing something right. With the final week among us I will be digging deep to find some hot bats to help you out in the final week.  As I normally mention, when it comes to the back-end of your rosters […]


Week 25 Middle Infield (MI) Waiver Wire Targets

There is only two weeks left of baseball so that means you are either in the final four or championship game. You've made it this far so you are doing something right! As I normally mention, when it comes to the back-end of your rosters it is always worth riding guys who are on a […]


Week 24 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop Base (SS)

The fantasy playoffs are here! It is a time to buckle down and dig deep to find a weekly diamond in the rough that can help lead you to the championship. As I mentioned last week you should have no fear dropping 'big' names who have struggled or are injured for multiple weeks. The end […]


Week 23 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop Base (SS)

The fantasy playoffs are here for most Yahoo leagues. It is a time to buckle down and dig deep to find a weekly diamond in the rough that can help lead you to the championship. With teams already eliminated you should have no fear dropping 'big' names who have struggled or are injured for multiple […]


Jose Pirela (SD, 2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper mixed and  NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jose Pirela has been under looked the entire season as he quietly has put together a .295 batting average and .858 OPS with eight home runs on the season in just 244 at-bats. Yes, the Padres don’t offer the best lineup, but […]


Logan Forsythe (LAD, 2B/3B) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team and NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Logan Forsythe is another example of a player who was highly regarded coming into the season but has not been able to muster it all together. Acquired for one of the top pitching prospects Jose De Leon in the offseason, many had […]


Tim Anderson (CWS, SS) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team and AL-only leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox was a hot name heading into fantasy drafts this year. For most of this season the young shortstop has disappointed both for the Chicago White Sox and fantasy owners. However a light has flicked on for […]


Kolten Wong (STL, 2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team and NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kolten Wong is the perfect example of a player who should be owned as soon as owners give up on the player. Wong has been hyped up every season by both fantasy owners and the St. Louis Cardinals every season. As soon […]


Neil Walker (MIL, 2B) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12 team leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Neil Walker is a player I have mentioned before in this article. Now that he is with the Milwaukee Brewers, his stock should only improve as he joins a much more potent lineup while hitting in the heart of the order since his arrival. […]


Week 21 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop Base (SS)

With the the fantasy baseball playoffs right around the corner, it will be wise to own players who can help you the most. It shouldn't matter what they have done up to this point as any player who catches fire can have a nice short-term effect while it lasts.  Week 21 will include players who are […]


Week 20 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

We are just three weeks away from the fantasy playoffs in most standard Yahoo leagues. With the playoffs just around the corner, it is time to dig deep and secure your roster for the playoff drive.  Drop your busts, take a chance and go all-in on players who could help you. It is likely that […]


Week 19 Middle Infield (MI) Waiver Wire Targets

It's the stretch run for fantasy leagues and now is the time to dig deep! Plenty of teams are now calling up their prospects, and  you'll want to pay attention. Prospects aren't always going to win you a league, but if you hit on the right one, it's like striking gold. This week, we'll look […]


Week 18 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

With the fantasy playoffs around the corner, now is the time to shoot big and find some hidden gems that can help you the rest of the way. With many middle infield options being owned in most leagues, it's all about finding that player that can strike gold.  This week's waiver wire will feature middle infielders widely […]
