BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Burns has cooled off since the calendar turned to June, but he’s still reached base in all but one game so far this month.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Formats / Most Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Marlins surprised a lot of people earlier this year when they DFA’d Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It blows me away how much resistance there is to grabbing a share of anyone in the Cardinals rotation.
