Week 12 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Rejoice Rotoballers! It’s Week 12, and they’ve given control of Rotoballer’s 2B/SS Waiver Wire column to me for safe keeping while Kyle vacations.

Week 12 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open! It is week 12 and the options are quite limited. We've gotten to the part of the season where reality has set in.

Catching Heat - What To Do With Fantasy Catchers

To be blunt, catchers in fantasy baseball have been a huge disappointment this year.  The lack of production from the position is leaving massive holes in some lineups and leaving owners scrambling to make up the difference. At the same time, there is not much owners can do when the position as a whole is... Read More

Here we are halfway through June and we’ve still got plenty of fresh faces on the watch list to go along with some repeats who just won’t seem to go away.

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 12

This week was a much quieter one than last week, at least as far as bullpens around baseball are concerned. While last week saw committee members take over their bullpens at the same time as other committees formed in other cities, this week mostly saw more of the same. The guys who did well last...

Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 12

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 12. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many... Read More

Week 12 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster... Read More

Week 11 Outfield Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome to Week 11, Rotoballers. The dog days are upon us. June is when the game warms up, and you need to keep your head up. Remember last season when Eric Thames was the presumptive MVP in April and May, only to crash and burn in June? There's a lot of season left, and winners... Read More

Week 11 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Lately, it seems like every day another fantasy-relevant player suffers an injury. In terms of middle-infield eligible players, Andrelton Simmons hit the disabled list this week with a sprained ankle. Carlos Correa may avoid a trip to the DL, but he still missed half the week with soreness in his side. Given the general deluge... Read More

Week 11 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open! It is week 11 and there are still so many good options on the waiver wire. Continue to stay fluid with your lineup and ride the hot hand. Don't get attached. However, make a decision and initiate movement to get that player. Do not let someone else grab them while... Read More
