Wilmer Flores (SS/2B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Flores is the latest in a long line of sub-par Met shortstops. He’s actually been pretty good at the plate, tagging five homers with double-digits in runs and RBIs. His batting average leaves a lot to be desired, but I expect that […]

Luis Valbuena (2B/3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Valbuena has the opposite strengths of Forsythe. He’s clubbed eight homers so far in the young season to go along with 14 RBIs and 19 runs scored. However, he’s flirting with a .200 average. While it’ll get a bit better, I’d be shocked […]

Logan Forsythe (1B/2B/3B, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Forsythe is surprisingly the best hitter on a surprisingly good team right now. I had the Rays pegged dead last for the AL East this year, but they’re playing some good ball right now, and Forsythe has been a big part of […]

Aaron Hill (2B/3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Hill probably wan’t one of the names you expected (or wanted) to see on here, but hear me out before scrolling down. He’s owned in less than 10 percent of most leagues, he’s got eligibility at second and third base, he’s […]

Freddy Galvis (3B/SS, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rockies fans are going to get mad at me at this rate, but the Coors Field effect is hard to ignore. Galvis might not qualify at 3rd base in all formats, but Yahoo owners are going to want to give this player […]

Yunel Escobar (3B/SS, WAS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Yunel Escobar has been an absolute shot in the arm for the Nationals so far this season. He’s hitting .328 from the number two hole in a lineup that’s scored the 4th most runs in baseball. Recently he’s been even more impressive. […]

Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no denying the hit you’ll take in batting average by rostering Ryan Howard. His short term power upside might just be high enough to justify that risk, however. For all his faults, Howard is up to seven home runs on the […]

Brandon Belt (1B/OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We’re at the point where we need to start talking about Brandon Belt. Many fantasy owners were turned off by his putrid numbers in March and April in which Belt only hit .235 with no power. Don’t let these figures distract you […]

Steven Souza (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Souza was blocked in Washington, so the Nationals flipped him to the Rays over the winter. With this new lease on life and playing time came a fair amount of sleeper buzz. So far, Souza’s been basically as advertised, a three true […]

Logan Morrison (1B/OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Morrison has had a tough time sticking in the lineup in his career, mostly due to injuries and defense that can charitably be referred to as a traveshamockery. In his lone season with at least 500 plate appearances, however, he hit 23 […]

Delino DeShields Jr. (2B/OF, TEX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DeShields isn’t going to maintain an average around .300 or a .400+ OBP for much longer. That said, he’s filling up the box score on a nightly basis for the Rangers, who quite frankly deserve a positive fluke with how the last […]

Patrick Corbin (ARI, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Corbin is another pitcher recovering from Tommy John surgery, but his timetable is clearer than others. General Manager Dave Stewart stated the target date is June 4th, and Corbin has done nothing to this moment to dissuade that prediction. He showed solid command […]

Matt Moore (TB, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 + team leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Most seasons I am fading Matt Moore, mainly due to his high walk rate (4.28 BB/9) and lingering arm issues. But most seasons you have to pay for Matt Moore’s services. As Moore has recovered from Tommy John surgery performed last April, […]
