Carson Kelly (C, ARI) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  It’s down to Alex Avila and Carson Kelly at catcher for the Diamondbacks.

Kevin Kiermaier (OF, TBR) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  The inevitable injury bug has struck Kiermaier, who hasn’t been able to stay healthy since his rookie year. His glove is a mainstay when healthy, so you can expect him to be there on a nightly basis. Remember, they signed him […]

C.J. Cron (1B, MIN) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Cron returned from injury just a night ago, and went 3-for-5 with a long ball.

Bryan Reynolds (OF, PIT) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If Reynolds isn’t owned in a league of yours, do yourself a favor and go pick him up.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Dozier struck hot iron in July, boasting a .391 wOBA.

Alex Verdugo (OF, LAD) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Verdugo just keeps on hitting. July was his worst season of the year, mostly due to bad luck. His BABIP dipped below .300 and his wOBA followed. He was still serviceable, though, holding a .344 against righties with three home runs. He’s […]

Back-to-Back Home Runs Tie it up in the Eighth

In what was one of the more entertaining games of this baseball season, the Rays looked dead to rights in the 8th. That’s when two of the unlikeliest of culprits hit bombs to left field. Guillermo Heredia and Willy Adames have both struggled lately, but could very well use this momentum to dig out of […]

Ji-man Choi Goes 3-for-5 and homers from the leadoff spot

They needed all they could get out of Choi, just squeaking out the 10-9 victory over the Jays. His seventh inning home run turned the game manageable and allowed the back to back home runs from Adames and Heredia to tie it up. Choi has been great against righties (.349 wOBA) and will continue hitting […]

Tom Murphy (C, COL) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Murphy has been getting some playing time of late against lefties, and he’s simply massacring the baseball.

Niko Goodrum (1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, DET) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If there’s a word to describe Niko Goodrum, it’s versatile.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  The Twins have become the fastest team in MLB history to 200 home runs. Gonzalez has contributed plenty of his own with 12, but his real value comes as a switch-hitter who consistently drives the ball. Even in an off year […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  The Rockies have been away from Coors Field, and Ryan McMahon has been raking. Over his last nine games, McMahon has accounted for 9 hits, 8 RBI’s, and three home runs. He’ll now get to go back to Coors Field for […]

Jorge Alfaro (C, MIA) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Jorge Alfaro is a great backup catcher.

Anthony Desclafani (SP, CIN) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Desclafani is a guy we’ve seen go up and down plenty, but one thing has always remained constant. He is terrible against lefties and great vs righties. The addition of a slider has exemplified that. Against righties, a 3.19 xFIP and […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Heyward has leveled back off in July, after posting a .389 wOBA in June. He’s still worth an add, though, as he remains in the middle of the Cubs lineup and has posted a .366 wOBA against righties with 13 home […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Justin Smoak started the year as a man on fire, but fell victim to a .291 wOBA in June. He’s been back up to a .331 since the ASB, including four home runs in his last ten games. He’s much better against […]
