BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week, I placed Owen Miller (forearm) under the "Deeper Waiver Wire Options to Consider" category when he was just 5% rostered.

Zach Neto (SS, LAA) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When a player with only 44 games of minor-league experience is promoted straight to the majors, a harsh and lengthy learning period is expected. And for the first 13 games of Zach Neto's career, it looked just like that. In his first […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jorge Polanco back on the 10-day IL, a spot for rookie Edouard Julien opened up.

Casey Schmitt (SS/3B, SF) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Casey Schmitt is somehow less rostered today than when this column came out last week, despite posting three more multi-hit games. The 24-year-old prospect continues to mash for the Giants as he's batting .343 and slugging .507 through his first 17 games. Oddly, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a disclaimer, Kevin Kiermaier (back) was removed from Saturday's game with lower back discomfort.

Mickey Moniak (OF, LAA)- Fantasy Baseball Hitter Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mickey Moniak was highlighted here last week, and his ownership has grown exponentially in the time since.
