2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

Six weeks remain in the 2021 season. That's a short runway, but it's still a significant chunk of games, both in amount and importance. Most leagues' trade deadlines have already passed as well, leaving the waiver wire as fantasy managers' only recourse to improve their rosters. Most of the players who will be written up […]

Catchers to Stream - Week 22 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position.

[…]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 22

The year of the no-hitter is back on after Tyler Gilbert's no-no against the Padres last weekend. It was the eighth no-hitter of the year, and the first this season to be thrown by a rookie. And while Gilbert isn't in this week's column, we'll be taking a look at a bunch of rookie pitchers […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 22

Just a handful of weeks left, and maybe even fewer until your league's playoffs begin! Last week this post fell victim to the injury bug, as we saw two of our recommendations go out (probably for the year) before making another start. Hopefully you avoided those two landmines. This week we have a pretty low-upside […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

Teams are making runs, and it is changing the landscape of the playoffs. The New York Yankees have won nine in a row, leapfrogging the Red Sox into most comfortable position for an AL wildcard spot. The Atlanta Braves have won seven straight, all but securing the playoff spot associated with winning the worst division […]

Pitching Prospects to Stash Now

There are only about six weeks left in the fantasy baseball season and most teams by now should know if they have a legitimate chance to compete for a title or not. Oftentimes, if we don't have a chance at the grand prize, we tend to turn our attention to prospects and potential keepers, or, […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 21 Waiver Wire

Since we last spoke, Closers and Saves Report readers, a former relief pitcher threw a no-hitter in his first major league start. That was pretty cool. Bullpens did things too. Closers came back from injuries, new committees formed, old committees closed as one guy took over, and so on. But that no-hitter though... We also […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 21

We are drawing dangerously close to playoff time in fantasy baseball. The fact that you're still here reading this and not focused on fantasy football tells me that you're still in the hunt - so congratulations!

Hidden Gems On Bad Teams

The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, the contenders are separated from pretenders, and the playoff race is coming into focus. Yes, it's the dog days of summer, and fantasy managers are getting reminded how long baseball season is during non-pandemic years. As the good teams enter the most exciting portion of the schedule, […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 21

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have experienced more injuries, and most teams need more and more replacements. We have around six weeks left in the season, and we are already seeing some teams throw in the towel while others are falling out of the playoff race and may join them […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 21

This is the final stretch of the fantasy season for many leagues. Those that play with head-to-head scoring and a playoff have just a few matchups remaining before the fantasy regular season is a wrap. Rotisserie leagues have no such impending deadline, but these games are no less important. Despite this late hour, or perhaps, […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 21

Here we are again, staring down the barrel of another fantasy baseball stretch run. Unlike last year, it only feels like the season just started. Then again, if you've been less than successful at navigating the minefields of injuries, COVID cases, and the league's half-cocked crackdown on foreign substances, it may seem to you that this season […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 21

TIM FREAKING ANDERSON. That's all that needs to be said about the Field of Dreams Game. Man, what an ending! That matchup sure lived up to the hype, but how did the pitchers on the last two columns hold up? Going back to Week 19, Chris Flexen was the clear winner from that column, going […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 20 Waiver Wire

Things always seem to settle down a little around this time in the baseball season. The deadline is behind us, so a lot of buyers with previously unsettled bullpens got settled through trades. On the other end of that, a lot of sellers lost their closers but are in full tank/rebuild/evaluate mode so they haven't […]
