Articles

Xander Bogaerts (SS, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Bogaerts is the top infield prospect in baseball at this point and now that he's started a handful of games at 3B his call up could be imminent with the Red Sox. This is a guy you really want to own because he has the ability to put up a […]


Jim Henderson (RP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS:  Henderson is not just a save vulture special. He's taken the reigns from Franky Rodriguez after K-Rod was dealt, and Henderson has run with the role in a dominant fashion. Over his past seven outings he has 7 IP and 12 K while allowing just 3 H, 3 BB, 0 […]


Nolan Arenado (3B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leauges ANALYSIS: Arenado was dormant for a while after a nice consistent stretch when he was called up. But he's turned it on recently and over his past 6 games he is batting .409 with 2 HR and 5 RBI. He also has 4 multi-hit games over this span, so […]


Marlon Byrd (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: OK, Byrd's hotness has gotten a little ridiculous, and he's practically begging to be picked up in all deep leagues. He's 5-for-his-last-12 with 2 HR, 5 RBI and 3 R. Over the last 2 weeks, Byrd is the NUMBER ONE player in the Yahoo! game, with a .350-4-14-9 […]


Kelly Johnson (2B, 3B, OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson has gotten hot again, and Kelly Johnson's hotness begs your attention. He is 8-for-12 over his last 3 games, with 2 HR, a double, 2 RBI and 5 R. Johnson was scorching earlier in the year and was 10-team mixed league worthy, and he could be at […]


Felix Doubrount (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Doubront was nasty again last night vs. the Yankees going 6.1 IP with 5 K, the W, and just 6 baserunners and 1 ER allowed. Just to summarize, this marks 10 straight starts in which Doubront hasn't allowed more than 3 ER, and in 8 of those 10 he's allowed […]


Brad Miller (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: It's tough ignore a highly-touted prospect when he gets the call to the majors and has a 2 HR, 5 RBI game. Miller did just that last night, and now has a .273-.351-.500 triple slash line in the majors. Miller is batting leadoff in the surprisingly productive Seattle […]


Eric Young - (NYM, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Young has been blazing hot lately. His line over the past two weeks is: .300-0-3-12-7. No power, but enormous speed, very solid BA, and high-end run production. Young has performed like a 2nd round player over the two weeks before the ASB, and if you need speed going […]


Danny Salazar - (CLE, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Salazar was great in his first start for the Tribe, going 6 IP with 7 K, just 1 ER and 3 baserunners allowed. He throws ridiculous gas in the upper 90s and has very solid, above average control. Considering his K-rate in the minors was over 10 per […]


Corey Kluber (SP, CLE)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Kluber has 94 K in 95 IP with 7 W, a 3.88 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. That is basically 5th starter material in any league. He is the 55th ranked starter in the 5x5 game. So why is he owned in only 19% of leagues? Could it be his extremely […]


Luke Scott (1B, TB)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Over the past two weeks, Luke Scott is the 58th ranked player in 5x5. He is mashing with a .405-3-8-6 line at the plate and has a 10 game hit streak with 15 hits over that span. Over his past 4 games he has 2 HR and 5 […]


Brett Wallace (1B, HOU)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems like Wallace has been around forever, but he's still only 26 years old. There's still time for him to fulfill his post-hype sleeper ceiling, and we may be seeing the start of that right now. Since his callup from Triple-A, Wallace is batting .351 with 3 […]


Justin Smoak (1B, SEA)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Smoak has been pretty terrible this year, but we saw him put up a very nice stretch in 2012, and it seems he's finding his groove at the plate just in time for the 2nd half. Over the last 8 games of the 1st half, Smoak had […]


Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Outfield (July Update)

The first three months of the 2013 fantasy baseball season are in the books, and now we’re really starting to get a feel for the fantasy baseball landscape. RotoBaller will be updating our positional rankings over the next week. Today, we’re revisiting the outfield rankings we initially published in April and have updated in May and June. All the ranks […]


Wily Peralta (SP, MIL)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Peralta followed up his dominant CG shutout against Cinci with a great 7 IP 8 K 2 BB 1 ER effort vs. the D'Backs. He's pitching as well as he ever has in his young career, and considering he was one of the more highly touted young pitchers […]


Chris Archer (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Archer threw the best game of his career last night with a CG shutout vs. the Astros. He had 8 Ks, 0 BBs while allowing just 5 hits en route to the W. Archer hasn't allowed more than 3 ER in 8 starts, is striking out more batters […]

Buy Low and Sell High: Trade and Waiver Targets for Week 16

Are you looking to trade?  If your answer is “yes”, then the RotoBaller.com Buy/Sell Weekly Article is where to some players of the week to Sell High and a few players to Buy Low. You trade for one of two reasons: You need a shortstop, have an extra third baseman and someone has as extra shortstop.  You […]


Jacob Turner (SP, MIA)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: If you like low-K pitchers who rely on putting balls in play to get outs and pitch for bad offenses, then Turner is your guy! I jest, but Turner has actually been very solid, as evidenced by his 2.33 ERA and 1.11 WHIP on the year. His 35 […]


Wei-Yin Chen (SP, BAL)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first start back after a two month DL stint, Chen tossed 7 solid IP while only allowing 6 baserunners and 1 ER. He had only 4 Ks, but he relies on control more than punchout stuff. Chen has a 2.81 ERA and 1.16 WHIP on the […]


Ivan Nova (SP, NYY)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: After throwing a complete game, Nova spun another gem, going 8 strong with a 6:2 K:BB ratio, allowing just 5 hits and 1 ER en route to the W as the Yanks trounced the Royals. Nova is showing great control and great swing and miss stuff since returning from the […]


Felix Doubrount (SP, BOS)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Doubrount is on a hell of a run right now. Over is past 5 starts, he has gone 33 IP with 25 Ks and 2 Ws, while only allowing 7 ER and 33 baserunners for a WHIP of 1.00. He has been remarkably consistent by not allowing more […]


Kendrys Morales (1B, SEA)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Morales had another two HR game last night. That makes 2 in the past 7 games. Granted he only had 3 hits in 19 ABs in the middle 5 games, but his 4 HRs and 9 RBIs in the two bookends is plenty of production to hold you over. Morales […]


Ike Davis (1B, NYM)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis is back with the Mets and the only thing keeping him from playing regularly is the hotting hitting of Satin. In 92 PAs with the Mets Triple-A affiliate, Davis went bananas with a .293-.424.-.667 triple slash and had 5 HR and 18 RBIs. He was flat out […]


Ricky Nolasco (SP, LAD)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Nolasco, just like Hanley Ramirez before him, seems to be rejuvenated by playing for a competitive team for the first time in years. In his first start with the Dodgers, Nolasco went 7 IP with a 5:0 K:BB ratio while only allowing 4 hits and 1 ER en route to […]


Colby Rasmus (OF, TOR)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Rasmus had a big night on Monday going 3-for-4 with a HR and 3 RBIs. The inconsistent slugger has 16 HRs and 48 RBIs on the year with a better than expected .250 BA. His plate discipline really hasn't changed much, so it's likely his BA will fall back to […]


Ivan Nova (SP, NYY)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The Yankees opted to stick with Nova as their 5th starter instead of the rehabbing and higher-upside Michael Pineda, and Nova responded in a BIG way. He tossed a complete game with 11Ks on July 5th while only allowing 2 ERs on 4 baserunners. It was a dominant […]


Wilson Ramos (C, WAS)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Ramos has come storming out of the gates and has racked up 6 hits, 1 HR, 1 2B, 8 RBIs and 2 Runs in just 4 games since returning from a 2 month absence. Ramos is probably owned in all 2 catcher leagues, but even those of you […]


Tyler Skaggs (SP, ARI)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Skaggs was recalled when Cahill hit the DL with a bruised hip. He shut down the Rockies at home on July 5th to the tune of 8 IP, 5 Ks, 4 baserunners, 0 ER and the W. He has nearly a K / IP in 24.2 MLB innings […]


Josh Reddick (OF, OAK)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Those of you who persevered through the bad times are finally, at long last, being rewarded with some quality production from Reddick. Those of you who dropped him, well, go pick him up, right now! Reddick is 5-for-12 over his past 3 games with 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, […]
