Miguel Rojas (SS, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Through 32 games this year, Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is looking quite a lot like his 2020 self, a player who provided notable fantasy value through his .304 batting average and 12.6% strikeout rate. Rojas has slashed .283/.367/.451 so far this year. […]

Willie Calhoun (OF, TEX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: The fantasy community seemed to have completely written off Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun after an abysmal 2020 season where he slashed .190/.231/.260 with just one home run, 13 RBI and three runs over 29 games. That appears to have been a big mistake. […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: So far this year, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill has been showcasing a power bat unlike we've yet to see from him in the Majors. He's hit five home runs and slugged .468 through 24 games. And it doesn't look like he'll […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a quiet first month of the year, Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco is off to a strong start to the month of May.

Champ or Chump: Dominic Smith

Evaluating 2020 fantasy seasons has been very difficult. Each player's season line looks like a full campaign on a player's FanGraphs page or the back of their baseball card, but in truth, it's only slightly more than one-third of a full season. There had to be some legitimate breakouts that we shouldn't discount, but how […]
