Wade Miley (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wade Miley burst onto the scene with the Dbacks  in 2012.

Marcus Semien (2B/3B/SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien, 24, shortstop, is hoping that there’s no place like home. Not only is the Oakland Athletics giving him a chance to play the position he’s played since tee-ball, but he’s getting the chance to do it in his hometown. In two seasons […]

Shane Greene (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Greene was considered an afterthought in a three team trade last season between the Dbacks, Yankees and Tigers.

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner.

Brandon Morrow (SP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues; Continue Scouting Elsewhere OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The signing of Brandon Morrow by the San Diego Padres did not make as much news as many of their other moves, mainly because he isn’t exactly a headline drawing player. Since 2012, he has yet to throw more than 60 […]

Archie Bradley (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Highly touted prospects are often proclaimed as saviors toward their organization. These same prospects are hyped ad nauseum and are often rushed to the big leagues. The Arizona Diamondbacks are hoping that Archie Bradley was worth the wait. Bradley spent 4 seasons […]

Top Five Dynasty / Keeper Shortstops for 2015

Winning in a dynasty league requires bold strategy, smart trades and a ton of luck. This past season in a keeper league, I lost in the semifinals on account of a Carlos Santana stolen base. That was Santana’s fifth SB of the year and served as the tiebreaker that ended my season. You just can't […]

First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week Two

Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season. This can be especially true at the infield corners, an area where the stars are readily scooped up and finding a low cost alternative can be often difficult. With that aim in mind, here […]

Adam Ottavino (RP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Only 6% owned right now, Ottavino is someone to grab off the waiver wire if you're looking for saves. The Rockies former closer, 42-year-old Latroy Hawkins, looked awful in his three appearances, giving up seven hits and five runs in just 2.2 innings. Rockies fans were […]

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch For Week 2

The first full week of baseball is in the books and it appears that the Detroit Tigers are the greatest team of all time.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 4/13/15

There are fourteen games on the slate today, which is pretty remarkable for a Monday. (Next Monday has just nine scheduled.)

Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

The first week of the season is in the books. There likely hasn't been too much roster upheaval in your league unless you play with some Chicken Little owners. Remember, folks: It's a long season. Resist the urge to mash the panic button. But by all means, tinker on the margins. That's what we're here to […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 2 (Part 1)

Congratulations to Jordan Spieth for winning the 2015 season. Spieth went out and dominated from the first tee box on Thursday until the 18th hole on Sunday.

Wilson Ramos (C, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Formats OWNED IN: 58% of Yahoo Leagues, 33% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson Ramos is hitting seventh in one of the leagues better lineups. Granted, seventh isn’t all that sexy for fantasy value, but if Ramos comes through with the breakout season a lot of people are calling for, he could find himself hitting 5th or 6th […]

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DeScalfani was a sleeper among select fantasy pundits entering 2015 after a strong spring.

Daniel Norris (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Gotta love the man in the van. Norris blazed through all three levels of Toronto’s minor league system in 2014 to earn a spot in the Blue Jay’s rotation this spring. It was hard to tell Norris is only 21 as he displayed […]

Odubel Herrera (2B/SS/OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Herrera has a chance to score some runs and steal a few bags, especially when manager Ryne Sandberg slots him at the top of the order. Just 23 years old, Herrera was only the second Phillies player in the last 45 years to make […]

James Paxton (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no reason Paxton should be so widely available in ESPN and Fleaflicker leagues. Paxton is definitely what you’d define as an injury risk, but when he’s on the mound he is electric. His fastball sits around 95 mph and results in […]
