Joe Mauer (1B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: Joe Mauer has found the power to turn back time (cue Bon Jovi). In the past two weeks, Mauer is stroking a cool .444/556/.750. In fact, the entire Twins offense has been a different story in the second half, thanks to contributions from Max […]

Jorge Soler (OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: Don't call it a comeback. He hasn't been here for years, but Jorge Soler is back in our collective consciousness upon returning from an extended DL stint. He decided to let everyone know with a homer in his first at-bat. Soler now has six […]

Joe Musgrove (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Command/finesse pitchers often have a difficult adjustment period when they first ascend to the major leagues. It appears nobody bothered to tell Joe Musgrove that. The Astros' newest young gun has been spectacular in two appearances (one start), allowing just […]

Adam Ottavino (RP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 43 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Adam Ottavino briefly served as the Rockies' closer last season before suffering a UCL tear. Fresh off Tommy John surgery, he's tossed 12 scoreless innings, striking out a batter per. With Carlos Estevez imploding multiple times this month, that was enough […]

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: There is no hitter as hot as Devon Travis right now. In the past week, the young second baseman is hitting .444 with three home runs and seven runs batted in over six games. Travis has actually been hitting well the entire month since the […]

Ender Inciarte (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Since the All Star break, Ender Inciarte has gone hitless just twice. He's batting a robust .361/.400/.423 during that time, with 18 runs scored and three stolen bases. Inciarte's overall numbers still look pretty uninspiring after a difficult first half […]

Aaron Altherr (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Altherr earned some sleeper buzz in drafts this year after an encouraging debut with the Phillies last season (.827 OPS, five homers, six steals in 39 games). Unfortunately, he suffered a wrist injury in spring training that kept him […]

Alex Dickerson (OF, SDP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: There are just two qualified hitters in baseball with an isolated power above .250 and a contact rate of at least 85 percent: Daniel Murphy and Matt Carpenter. Had he enough plate appearances to qualify, Alex Dickerson would be the […]

Eddie Rosario (OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 12 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Eddie Rosario flashed a blend of pop and speed in 2015 (13 home runs and 11 stolen bases) that made him an intriguing option in deep and AL-only leagues. Unfortunately, he performed poorly enough in the early going that the Twins […]

Brad Miller (2B/SS/OF, TBR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Brad Miller is one of the most added players over the last week, but he’s still available in over 40 percent of leagues. Over the last month, he’s hitting .322/.392/.644 with six homers, 33 R+RBI, and a pair of stolen bases. […]

Fernando Salas (RP, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Huston Street and Cam Bedrosian both sidelined, the Angels appear to be turning to Fernando Salas for the ninth inning. Salas is not the most productive reliever left in Los Angeles’ bullpen, but he is the most experienced— he saved […]

Luke Weaver (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Michael Wacha landing on the disabled list, Cardinals No. 2 prospect Luke Weaver has been summoned to take the mound for his debut on Saturday against the Cubs. The 22-year-old has moved remarkably fast through the ranks, reaching the Majors […]

Week 19 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It's Week 19. New York is getting ready for another heat wave - oh, I'm sorry, that's just the intensity of the anger towards Joe Girardi for reneging on his promise to play Alex Rodriguez during the last week of his career. Anyway, Girardi, a former catcher hasn't wilted under the heat. I wish I […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: Big power is hard to find at the shortstop position, but that's exactly what Marcus Semien provides. The Oakland shortstop has 23 HR on the year with 54 RBI and 9 SB. While he's not much too marvel at in terms of AVG […]

Javier Baez (2B/3B/SS, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: High expectations have been part of Javier Baez's story since coming up to the big leagues. A top prospect who tore through the minor league system, Baez put up 37 HR in 2013 between A and AA ball, then hit 23 the next […]

Martin Prado (2B/3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: It's no secret by now that Martin Prado can flat-out hit. Prado owns a .324 AVG and .370 OBP this season for Miami and has driven in a respectable 50 RBI so far this year. Prado doesn't offer much in the way of power […]

Yulieski Gourriel (3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues EXPERT ANALYSIS: Highly touted Cuban players coming over to the Major Leagues have been a hit-or-miss proposition. Yasmany Tomas is looking like a budding star, Jorge Soler has been disappointing but may be turning a corner, Hector Olivera is a huge bust and then, of course, […]

Alex Reyes (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Reyes made his Major League debut Tuesday against the Reds, tossing a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout— he fanned Adam Duvall on a 101 mph heater.
