Engel's Angles - Pivotal Starts Coming for Paxton, Peacock, Velasquez

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry resumes Tuesday with the teams not playing to the usual levels of success that fuel the hype. Both squads are under .500, and even the pitching matchup does not seem as outstanding as expected on paper. The struggles of Chris Sale and his 9.00 ERA are well documented. For the Yankees, […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

The catching position in fantasy baseball has become a dried-up talent pool in recent seasons. The 2019 season has pumped a few gallons of skill and fantasy competence back into the tank as we are entering some better weather here in mid-April. With early injuries at the position and some underperforming bats not impressing owners, […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

Two weeks down, 24 to go. As we'll continue to remind you in our early-season coverage, the fantasy baseball season is long.

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

The 2019 MLB campaign has reached Week 3, and as typically comes with the first month of the season, we find ourselves both befuddled by the surprising starts of some players and desperately awaiting the acceleration of others.

Managers continue to slide through the waiver wire at alarming rates. Try not to overreact and make rash decisions. Let the underperforming stars get into a groove. Their numbers will normalize.

The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?

We're now midway through April, and your trigger finger may be getting a bit itchy. The baseball season is only a couple weeks old, however, and with more than 90% of the season to go it is still really early. Most teams had played about eight games through last weekend, and now that number is […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 3

Week three is upon us and madness has officially ensued. Daniel Vogelbach is a hot waiver add and the Yankees are starting a Triple-A roster. Left is right and down is west.
