Week 9 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Small sample sizes have now become reasonably big enough for us to make some informed decisions.

The corner infield […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 9

Rookies are always tricky to evaluate because they can look great one week and then completely fall apart the next. With some big name call-ups sticking around, what can we make of their initial success? More importantly, we need to figure out if these players are best used as keepers or trade bait. Scouting players […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

The pitcher landscape is honestly not all that inspiring save for some guys lingering around due to market inefficiencies. You'll find three Rockies here, and honestly, Jeff Hoffman could've made four but those in redraft leagues likely can't deal with stashing him while Colorado shuttles him back and forth between the Majors and Minors. Here […]
