MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 13)

Steven Matz was finally called up. It was a little bit earlier than I had expected, but he made his MLB debut last Sunday. He threw quite well, but really dazzled with the bat, going 3-3 and driving n four runs. Did I ever mention that he can hit? Probably not. Matz finished the day […]

Randal Grichuk (OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Grichuk has made the most of his opportunity after Matt Holliday went down with a quad strain. He’s currently hitting .273 with six homers and 42 R+RBI in 44 games, and he’s even chipped in three steals. Grichuk’s 43/7 K/BB ratio isn’t pretty, but […]

Adam Eaton (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eaton continues to climb back from the abyss he fell into in April.

Nick Hundley (C, COL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Rockie’s seem to have a surplus of good offensive backstops, and their starter is Nick Hundley.

Wilin Rosario (C / 1B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s not often that multiple catchers from the same team can be fantasy relevant, but the Rockie’s fit that case this season. Along with Nick Hundley as their starter, Wilin Rosario is their starting first basemen and is catcher eligible […]

Kendall Graveman (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you take away a pair of awful outings against the Houston Astros, Graven has been quietly excellent this season.

Jaime Garcia (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 63% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If Garcia were a robot, he would have blossomed into one of the premier southpaws in baseball years ago.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 13 (Part 1)

What’s not to love about Madison Bumgarner? The guy rolls out World Series wins, dominates on the mound in the playoffs, and drives a pickup truck like he’s still living in the mountains of North Carolina.

Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 13

The deeper we get into the season, the harder it becomes for a column of this nature to avoid getting repetitive.

Ivan Nova (NYY, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14-team leagues or deeper OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: After over a year away from the game to recover from Tommy John surgery, Nova came back strong against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.

Dioner Navarro (C,TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep two-catcher and AL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dioner Navarro is not the sexiest name in fantasy baseball, but don't be fooled - the guy can produce if given the chance to show it. Fantasy catchers often go underutilized unless leagues require that two backstops be started. […]

Justin Turner (1B / 2B / 3B / SS, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ and NL-Only Leagues. OWNED IN: 23% in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Turner has gone from plug-and-play utility man to fantasy juggernaut in 2015.

Week 13 Buy and Sell Starting Pitchers

Solid showing on the buy side last week, as all three pitchers produced quality starts. Of course, both Scott Kazmir and Carlos Martinez spun gems of their own. At least Dan Haren had the courtesy to toss out a clunker against the Cardinals, although he actually pitched well. For once this season, the vagaries of batted […]
