Sam Dyson (TEX, RP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Shawn Tolleson saga is finally over for now. He went out in grand fashion as Khris Davis crushed a grand slam to effectively end Tolleson's reign as the Rangers' closer. Sam Dyson has racked up two saves since taking over the […]

Tyler Duffey (MIN, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Duffey may have lost some of his luster after his most recent start. However, given that it was against the Blue Jays, I think Duffey deserves a mulligan. Before that outing, the Duff Man had only allowed five runs total […]

Kevin Gausman (BAL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'll admit I was skeptical of Kevin Gausman. After looking back at his major league track record, I just thought he was a flamethrower who couldn't get MLB hitters out. In this go around, Gausman has shown a lot of maturity and […]

Steve Pearce (TB, 1B/2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce is a weird guy. He has a breakout season, then you think he might keep it going, and he disappoints. Seriously, Pearce is the very definition of streaky. While that can be irritating, it's fun while he's hot. Guess […]

Lamar Miller Has Newfound Fantasy Value In Houston

The Miami Dolphins were a train wreck in 2015, plenty of the blame should be put on the shoulders of the coaching staff for using running back Lamar Miller so poorly. The Dolphins underutilized one of their best offensive weapons, and Miller was wise to jettison the Dolphins for Houston in free agency. Miller finished last season averaging […]

Poetry In Motion: The Strikeout Prowess of Aaron Nola

Nola? More like Nolan! While Aaron Nola may not be as physically imposing as the Ryan Express, his strikeout rate is in elite territory this season. Nolan Ryan's career 9.5 K/9 doesn't reflect the dominance of his era, as he led the league in strikeouts 11 times. These days, hitters are more aggressive and pitchers […]

Ervin Santana (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ervin Santana strikes me as one of those post-hype guys who flies under the radar simply because he has been around for so long. A suspension for a positive drug test prior to the start of last season likely added to the perception that […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Guyer has widely been considered a decent 4th OF option in both the Cubs and Rays systems since 2007.
