BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pederson seems to like his new digs now that he's with the Braves. His numbers looked better before his disappointing 0-for-5 performance in Thursday's win over the Phillies so he's now slashing .227/.261/.364 with a double, a home run, and four […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: We've recommended Vaughn as a streamer in the past and we're going back to the well this week.

Josh Rojas (2B/SS/OF, ARI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rojas has been a streaky hitter throughout the season for the D-Backs. He started the year as the primary leadoff man but got off to a brutal start, hitting just .146 with a .520 OPS over the first 17 games of the year. He […]

Josh Harrison (2B/3B/OF, WSH) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Harrison has been a reliable hitter for the Nationals this year but it's mostly gone under the radar in the fantasy community.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Garcia has been logging more regular playing time than expected due to all of the injuries the White Sox have had this season.

Luis Torrens (C, SEA) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Torrens started the season as the Mariners' primary catcher but got off to an ugly start at the dish.

Alex Kirilloff (1B/OF, MIN) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kirilloff was one of the first high-profile prospects to be called up to the majors back in mid-April and predictably received a lot of attention.

Second Base Draft Sleepers

As you probably know by now, second base is not a loaded position this year. It’s top-heavy with D.J. LeMahieu, Ozzie Albies, and Whit Merrifield but gets pretty dicey after that. I think it’s deeper than the casual observer may think, though. You can find batting average, OBP, stolen bases, and some pop down the […]

Yimi Garcia (RP, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

2020 was an odd season for all of Major League Baseball but the Miami Marlins’ odyssey stands out as one of the most bizarre. Miami played their first series of the season before a full-blown COVID-19 outbreak postponed their next eight games. They ended up putting 17 players on the injured list and resumed play […]
