Alex Guerrero (LAD, 2B/3B/OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only and Deeper Leagues Immediately; Scout in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 6% in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At first glance Alex Guerrero’s numbers are gaudy. A .385/.357/.923 slash line is nothing to sneeze at, unless of course one does not understand how a player’s OBP can be lower than his AVG. His […]

Carlos Martinez (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Target in Deep Mixed Leagues and NL Only Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Martinez is flashing some of his high strikeout potential, averaging nine strikeouts per nine innings through his first three starts. This is no fluke, and he is still raw, but has very good stuff. Martinez throws a hard […]

Shane Greene (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 68% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ll admit, I was not ready to buy Greene in shallower leagues after his first start vs Minnesota. Unfortunately owners in my leagues did not need his last start at Pittsburgh to make the move. Greene was dominant against the Pirates, pitching eight innings […]

Dalton Pompey (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Though the numbers came almost entirely in the low minors, a glance at Pompey’s performance reveals a lot to like. The 22 year old has shown impressive plate discipline, the ability to hit for average, and excellent speed. It’s primarily for the latter that many […]

Roberto Perez (C, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Formats, Most Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of FleaFlicker, 3% of Yahoo ANALYSIS: With Yan Gomes sidelined for 6-8 weeks, Roberto Perez is now the primary backstop for the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland’s front office is high on Perez after his .305/.405/.517 slash line at Triple-A last season. The one word of caution I would […]

Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Hot Hitters to Trade For

This week’s edition of the RotoBaller Stock Watch takes a look at five hitters, whom some fantasy owners shied away from this offseason for a variety of reasons, but have so far impressed through the early part of the season.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers And Advice for 4/21/15

Editor’s Note: RotoBaller’s Premium DFS Lineup […]

Jerry Blevins Breaks Forearm, Out Until Mid-June

The New York Mets placed Jerry Blevins on the 15-day DL after being struck by a line drive Sunday in a victory over the Marlins. Blevins, 31, will have to wear a splint on his fractured left forearm for the next six weeks as he suffered a distal radius fracture in his pitching arm, according to […]

Vic Black Suffers Setback During Rehab Appearance

The New York Mets received more bad injury news as ESPN reported that relief pitcher Vic Black has been diagnosed with a small disk herniation on the right side of his neck. The right-hander was scheduled to make his 2015 debut this week, but that’s not going to be happening anytime soon. The return would […]

Travis d'Arnaud Out At Least Three Weeks

Travis d’Arnaud will reportedly have his right hand in a splint for the next three weeks after suffering a metacarpal fracture Sunday when he was hit by a pitch. ESPN reported that the New York Mets catcher will miss a minimum of three weeks. D’Arnaud will be able to resume baseball activities after the fracture […]

NBA DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - FanDuel Advice for 4/21/15

After nearly one week of the NBA playoffs, only one road team has won a game. If the old adage is true that a series isn’t truly a series until the road team wins a game, then the Toronto-Washington series is the only series so far. Too bad both of these teams are showing more […]

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch For Week 3

The revolving door of relievers gets more interesting by the week. We still have a handful of closers who have yet to give up a run, but don't get your hopes up, they all will. Angels closer Huston Street has yet to allow a base runner but my guess is that will change pretty shortly. […]

Ubaldo Jimenez (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, that Ubaldo Jimenez. Once a Cy Young candidate and one of the most feared pitchers in the game, Jimenez has since turned that reputation into one of the most inconsistent pitchers in the game. He quickly fell off a cliff after his tremendous 2010 campaign but […]

Alex Rodriguez (3B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There are a few truths that Alex Rodriguez will always be tied to. One of them is that A-Rod fits the term "professional hitter". The 3-time MVP winner is now approaching 40 and amidst all the scandal and controversy, A-Rod is out to […]
