Closers and Saves Report - Week 12 Waiver Wire
With another week of injuries, committees, and blown saves behind us, fantasy managers are starting to see more and more how important having a good bullpen can be. Having the right relievers on a fantasy roster can make up for a somewhat subpar starting rotation, and ensuring you knock all pitching categories out of the... Read More

I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each... Read More
Is Streaming Catchers a Smart Strategy?
The common adage is that you should be streaming at catcher, but sometimes I think we cling to that a little too tightly. We buy into the easy narratives of "Catchers can't hit" and "Don't waste high picks or FAAB on catchers" but I've always believed it was an oversimplification. Yes, the deeper your league...

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 11
Huh. Well there aren't a lot of pitchers in line for two starts in Week 11. In fact by my count there are only 19 pitchers projected to make two starts this week. This is going to make things a bit tougher when it comes to finding two-start streamers on the waiver-wire. But before we... Read More

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have once again been littered with injuries. Both good and bad things arise from injuries. Let's start with the bad, which means losing a player, sometimes a key player, from your roster. The good is a chance to add a new player, and certain players... Read More
1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
Welcome back, Ke'Bryan Hayes. The top prospect was sidelined for two months with a wrist injury but hasn't missed a beat since returning from the IL. In his first game back, he collected two hits. In his second game, he collected two more, one of which was a home run. Hayes' rostered percentage never approached... Read More
2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
Injuries have been a plague upon Major League Baseball from the jump this year; middle infielders haven't been spared, so things are looking a bit thin out there on the ol' waiver wire.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 11 Waiver Wire
Sometimes, it's nice to take a break, kick your feet up, and just have a relatively quiet bullpen week. This was one of those weeks, and only the second one this season that didn't have some kind of huge news from at least one team's bullpen. There were still blown saves, confusing committees, and injuries... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 10
Well no no-hitters this week. What a disappointment for fans of 27 of the 30 teams in baseball. For Indians, Rangers and Mariners fans though, they probably feel like it was Christmas in May.

It has been a fun 10 weeks. The pitching pool continues to show its depth, as there have been strong arms aplenty to be had on the waiver wire. If you're in a league of average depth or less, chances are you could have made a pretty competitive pitching staff just by picking a handful... Read More
