Michael Bourn (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12+ Team Mixed Leagues, Must Own in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: At a very marginal 47% owned in Yahoo fantasy leagues, the casual fantasy baseball fan / player has missed out on some potentially valuable counting stats that the once must-own Indians outfielder has been providing of late. In the last 30 days, Michael […]

Hector Rondon (RP, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Mixed Leagues, Must Own in NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: What's with the lack of fantasy baseball love for Hector Rondon? You would think that the assigned closer for the Chicago Cubs, with very good pitching ratios thus far in 2014, should be more than 47% owned in Yahoo leagues right? […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add In 10+ Team Mixed Leagues, Must Own in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, I hate to add to The Chiz parade that has ensued in the past 24 hours, but it's about time the Cleveland Indians get rewarded for sticking with a former first round pick of their's (29th overall pick in the […]

Nick Markakis (OF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In AL Only Leagues and Deeper Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: At only 57% owned in Yahoo fantasy baseball leagues, the Orioles most undervalued outfielder Nick Markakis lurks while having himself a career renaissance year thus far in 2014. Much of his success stems from the fact that he is batting leadoff, with some all-star power hitters protecting […]

Marcus Stroman (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In AL Only Leagues and Deeper Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming straight out of Medford, NY, the diminutive rookie flame thrower had scouts, and Blue Jays fans alike, all worked up about his upcoming major league debut. Well, in his first shot at the big show (as a reliever) between May 4th-14th, the 5-9 righty did nothing impressive surrendering […]

Gregory Polanco (OF, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues ANALYSIS: Some experts will try to tell you that the 22 year old Gregory Polanco should have already been called up because the Pirates have needed him so desperately, but despite his tearing up of the minor leagues thus far in 2014, Pittsburgh's outfield situation has been crowded by young, and […]

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues ANALYSIS: If you haven't already taken notice, then please fix your face and start thinking about who you are dropping for the Miami Marlins young stud outfielder, Marcell Ozuna. Most of the time when we think of power bats in the Marlins outfield, the words Mike and Stanton often […]

Chris Owings (SS, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues, Continue Scouting In Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into 2014, it was unclear whether Didi Gregorius was still going to be the starting shortstop for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was flawed against left handed pitching and not overwhelming with the bat in general. In came charging was Chris Owings, a […]

Alex Avila (C, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues, AL-Only Leagues (if you're desperate) ANALYSIS: Let's be very honest here for a second - Alex Avila hasn't done squat to warrant him a good fantasy baseball reputation, or a waiver wire pickup, since his one outlier season in 2011 when he hit .295 with 19 HR and 82 runs […]

Junior Lake (OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Deeper Mixed Leagues & NL Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Please don't get your hopes of fantasy baseball glory all wrapped up in Junior Lake. Often described as a guy with a better baseball name than actual baseball tools, this former platoon outfielder has managed to take respectable advantage of the playing time […]

Yangervis Solarte (2B / 3B / SS, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Solarete just keeps on hitting, and keeps playing full-time, and not enough fantasy baseball owners are paying close enough attention. Look, this isn't the sexiest or best known option ever invented off the waiver wire (i.e the year I snagged Jose Bautista off the waiver wire in late April and […]

Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues and NL Only Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s probably a good time to start paying attention to the fact that Rickie Weeks no longer starts at second base for the Brewers. In fact, since last third of the 2013 season, Scooter Gennett has done a very respectable job taking over his […]

Jarred Cosart (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Jarred Cosart is a real-deal kind of sleeper talent that is simply festering on an MLB team that barely gets any media, or fantasy baseball, attention. Heading into the 2014 campaign, the Astros former #1 pitching prospect showed some nice ability in his first cup of coffee in 2013, posting a 1.95 […]

George Springer (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash In Deep Leagues, Add in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Many of us experts thought last season's minor league Mr. 37/45 was a sure bet to start the year with the Astros big boy squad, but according to the latest reports, he and his agent are disgruntled at the prospects of Houston doing the […]

Michael Pineda (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who lived through the 2011 fantasy baseball season, you'd remember Michael Pineda busting onto the scene behind King Felix in Seattle's rotation. Some might have even remembered him putting up a better strikeout rate than Felix Hernandez, as he struck out 9.11 batters per […]
