Articles

Sean Manaea (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Sean Manaea's MLB career got off to a rough start. The highly touted southpaw had a hideous 11.37 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in his first three starts for the Athletics, failing to pitch into the sixth inning in any of […]


Brandon McCarthy (SP, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 53 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon McCarthy has returned from Tommy John surgery in style. Through five starts, he boasts a 2.39 ERA and 0.84 WHIP to go along with an 11.3 K/9. He's only averaged five innings per start so far, as the Dodgers ease […]


Jon Gray (SP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Since a disastrous outing against the Cardinals on May 19, Jon Gray has started 12 games to the tune of a 2.78 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 8.7 K/9. Of those 12 games, 10 were quality starts. One of the two that […]


David Dahl (OF, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: David Dahl's first taste of the majors couldn't have gone much better, as he's hit .370/.393/.630 with a pair of home runs in seven games. The 22 year old totaled 18 homers and 17 steals between Double-A and Triple-A this year before the Rockies […]


Week 18 Waiver Wire: First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

As we move into the final two months of the season, fantasy owners are scrambling for every edge they can find in their quest for a championship – or, for those of us whose seasons haven’t gone according to plan, respectability. Players with eligibility at multiple positions become even more valuable at this juncture. All […]


Fantasy Baseball Strategy: Prospects to Watch

This article first appeared in the Metro news publication. Two of the game’s top prospects were promoted to the majors on Monday, and each is among the most added players across all the major fantasy platforms. If you missed the boat on Alex Bregman or David Dahl (or both), never fear – there are still […]


Wilmer Flores (1B/2B/3B/SS, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wilmer Flores doesn’t play every day, but he’s eligible at every infield position save catcher and provides plenty of pop when he does see the field. Despite logging only 50 at-bats in July, the 24-year-old Swiss Army knife has hit seven […]


Cheslor Cuthbert (3B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cheslor Cuthbert has acquitted himself rather well during his rookie year. He’s currently hitting .296/.328/.457 with nine homers and 61 R+RBI despite hitting primarily in the bottom third of the order. He was recently bumped up to the two-hole and has […]


Lonnie Chisenhall (3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lonnie Chisenhall hasn’t developed into the star the Tribe hoped they were getting when he was drafted in the first round of the 2008 amateur draft, but he’s been a solid contributor to their best team since that time. He’s hitting […]


Ryan Schimpf (2B/3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Schimpf’s nine home runs over the last month are the most in MLB (tied with Mark Trumbo, who last weekend became the first player to reach the 30-homer plateau in 2016). The 28-year-old had always shown impressive pop in the […]


Week 17 Waiver Wire: First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Did you miss me? After a two week hiatus due to the All Star break and vacation, this feature returns to its regularly scheduled programming. Let’s make up for lost time and keep the preamble short. This week’s installment features four players who are freely available in over 75 percent of leagues. Remember, in addition […]


2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Starting Pitcher Rankings: Midseason Edition (Part 2)

If you missed Part 1 yesterday, clicky clicky. As a reminder, these rankings were a collaborative effort between yours truly and fellow columnists/handsome devils Nick Mariano and Bill Dubiel. As such, they may not fully represent my personal views on each player, and if someone is ranked inappropriately, I'm pretty sure you can blame either […]


2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Outfield Rankings: Midseason Edition (Part 2)

Welcome back to RotoBaller's midseason rankings update. We covered the top half of the outfield yesterday. Remember, these rankings were compiled by myself, Nick Mariano, and Bill Dubiel, and any players ranked too high or low are definitely the fault of my colleagues. Assume a standard 5x5 redraft league when reading. You can also see […]


2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Starting Pitcher Rankings: Midseason Edition (Part 1)

What it is, RotoBallers? I'll tell you - it's the latest in our ongoing midseason rankings update series. We'll cover the top starting pitcher tiers today and tackle everyone else tomorrow. As a reminder, these rankings were a collaborative effort between yours truly and fellow columnists/handsome devils Nick Mariano and Bill Dubiel. As such, they […]


Cameron Rupp (C, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Take a gander at the average exit velocity leaderboards, and you'll see a number of the usual suspects: Giancarlo Stanton, Nelson Cruz, Miguel Sano, David Ortiz. But the name at the top might surprise you - or it would, if […]


Alex Bregman (SS, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It's a fool's errand trying to guess when a hot prospect will get the call. Most of the time, the organization doesn't know when they're going to pull the trigger. But given the way Alex Bregman is laying waste to […]


Max Kepler (OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 17 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Max Kepler has been one of the best outfielders in baseball over the last month, but you wouldn't know it by his tiny ownership rate. Since June 18, he's produced a .267/.350/.593 line, with seven home runs, 43 R+RBI, and a couple […]


Yangervis Solarte (1B/2B/3B, SDP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 32 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Over the past calendar year, only five third basemen (minimum 450 PA) have a higher wRC+ than Yangervis Solarte. That in itself doesn't move the needle much for fantasy owners since most of us don't play in linear weights leagues, but it […]


2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Outfield Rankings: Midseason Edition (Part 1)

Welcome back to RotoBaller's midseason rankings update. Today, we'll be taking a look at the top half of the outfield, with Part 2 coming tomorrow. These rankings were compiled by myself, Nick Mariano, and Bill Dubiel, and any players ranked too high or low are definitely the fault of my colleagues. Assume a standard 5x5 […]


Lonnie Chisenhall (3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 26 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Lonnie Chisenhall has been on the fantasy radar before, but only for brief periods of time. In each of the last two seasons, he had short bursts of production that ultimately fizzled into mediocrity. But a funny thing has happened this […]


Raisel Iglesias (SP/RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It's safe to say this season hasn't gone according to plan for Raisel Iglesias and his fantasy owners. One of the buzziest names in baseball during draft season, Iglesias made only five starts before landing on the disabled list with […]


Melky Cabrera (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For the majority of his career, Melky Cabrera has been an unexciting player for fantasy purposes. In fact, he's only ever posted consecutive above-average offensive seasons once, and that season ended with a PED suspension. The first two months of […]


Danny Espinosa (1B/2B/3B/SS, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 69 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Espinosa's ownership rate has skyrocketed recently, and for good reason. Over the past week, he's hitting an absurd .385/.407/.962 with five homers and 15 RBI. Obviously that's an impossible pace to sustain, but the veteran infielder (he's eligible everywhere except […]


Week 14 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Switching up the format a bit for this feature going forward - from now on we'll cover six players instead of four, and no more recaps. Taking our cues from Mark McGwire, because we're not here to talk about the past. Each week, I'll be taking a look at a few players and giving my […]


Week 14 Waiver Wire: First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

We’re past the official halfway point of the 2016 season, and the All-Star Break begins next week. The following players may not be suiting up in the Midsummer Classic, but they can still pitch in for your fantasy teams, and three of them are available for free in over 80 percent of leagues right now. […]


Buy, Sell, or Hold: What to Do With These First Half Underachievers

This article first appeared in the Metro news publication. Last week, we discussed some of the first half’s most pleasant surprises for fantasy owners. Today we turn our attention to a few players who have fallen short of preseason expectations. Will they perform better during the season’s second half? Editor's Note: RotoBaller offers the best Premium […]

Week 13 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

You’re not going to believe this, but Carlos Correa had a pretty phenomenal week and Whit Merrifield did not. Zach Davies’ ratios weren’t pretty in his last start, but he did strike out nine batters in only five innings. Conversely, while Jason Hammel produced a quality start against the Marlins, he struck out only three […]


Seung Hwan Oh (RP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 54 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Seung Hwan Oh's MLB career is off to a terrific start. Across 39 innings, he's posted a 1.62 ERA and 0.85 WHIP, with 51 strikeouts against just nine walks. With Trevor Rosenthal's abysmal performance finally forcing Mike Matheny to remove him from […]


Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Shortstop has been a stronger position in fantasy than usual this season, but it's still surprising to see Marcus Semien available in the majority of leagues. After all, he's hit more homers than Carlos Correa and driven in more runs than […]


Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Initially tabbed as the Reds' Opening Day starter, Anthony DeSclafani ended up missing the first two months of the season with an oblique injury. After showing visible rust initially, Disco has won his last two starts. In those games, he's […]
