For anyone unfamiliar, we release all sorts of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As part of that, Nick Mariano releases our waiver wire rankings list on Sundays to help you prioritize which players to target as free-agent adds off waivers. I will be pinch-hitting for Nick over the next few weeks.

In addition, we are also putting out a second waiver wire rankings list mid-week.
