Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column.

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have made it through the All-Star break.

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17
Coming out of the All-Star break, the biggest surprises at first base are Cody Bellinger on the negative side and, perhaps, Jared Walsh on the positive side. Bellinger has been in and out of the Los Angeles lineup due to injury. When he has played, he's been terrible. Don't think of acquiring him for cheap... Read More
2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17
Due to the All-Star break, there hasn't been much action since we reviewed the best middle infield waiver options last week - just two days' worth of games. As a result, I would still happily recommend everyone who was featured in this space at that time, though the Rays' handling of Vidal Brujan gives me... Read More
Catchers to Stream - Week 17 Waiver Wire
It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position.

Improving Hitters to Watch in the Second Half
We have more than three months of baseball in the books. It has been a glorious spring and summer with the return of the 162 game schedule. While it was nice for MLB to sneak in 60 games and some expanded playoffs in 2020 after we feared a full season cancellation, it really just didn't... Read More
Injured Stars To Stash For The Second Half
Incredibly, we have already reached the 2021 All-Star break. At this point in the season, most fantasy managers, whether in redraft or dynasty formats, have a pretty good sense of whether their teams will be in the hunt for a fantasy title come September. For those managers looking for an extra push at the end... Read More
Closers and Saves Report - Waiver Wire and Trade Deadline Chatter
We here at RotoBaller's Closers and Saves Report believe that there should be something like the Home Run Derby, but for relief pitchers. Not a skills competition, or a strike throwing contest, or a velocity race. Just an actual Home Run Derby, but with relief pitchers. Our money is on Daniel Camarena. With the All-Star... Read More
Using K-BB% To Find Relievers to Add for the Second Half
A couple of weeks ago, I used June's K-BB% leaderboard to look at which starting pitchers might provide value in the second half. In that article, I explained why I loved the metric so much by stating: If a pitcher has a high strikeout rate (K%), then we know he is effective because we know... Read More

The All-Star Break is a brief respite from the daily grind for fantasy managers, and a logical time to take stock of your situation.
