Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

We are well into the 2021 MLB season and it has been glorious. We have seen a ton of standout pitching early on, which is basically the opposite of what we expected going into the year. There have been no shortage of surprising starts and breakout performances, which in my view has made the fantasy […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

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 […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

Everyone is suffering from injuries. That goes for fantasy managers, real-life teams, and each position group. Much like we saw in the NHL and NBA seasons, this season-after is doing a number on the health and well-being of our favorite players, beyond even symptoms of COVID-19 for those that test positive. Whether because the normal […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

The trendiest names may be gone from your league's waiver wire, but there is still help to be found out there - if you know where to look. That's the goal of this column. Most of the players who will be written up in this feature won't be the next breakout star. Some may only […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 8 Waiver Wire

The first few weeks of this baseball season (and even a couple of weeks leading up to Opening Day) were absolutely littered with bullpen news and notes. It seemed like almost every single day, some team was tinkering with its bullpen, or some closer was getting hurt, or some previously well-established closer was slumping while […]

Blast Off: Which Batters Are Hitting the Most Impactful Barrels?

Last week I read a great article by John LaRue breaking down Alex Chamberlain's offensive stat known as Blast Rate. As John pointed out, Alex took the barrel stat we know and love and split it into a subset known as "Weak Barrels" and "Blasts." This may seem like a knit-picky exercise to some, but […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 7

It's pretty tough out there on the waiver wire these days, as we now move on to Week 7 of the season. Offense is down pretty much everywhere in baseball this year, as there are so many hitters struggling to get going even as the calendar moves on to mid-May. With that being said, there […]

Suddenly-Hot Starting Pitchers - Trust or Bust?

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 6

It's getting to be a bit tougher out there on the waiver wire as the season progresses now to Week 6.
