Poetry in Motion: The Control of Jeremy Jeffress

Jeremy Jeffress will finish the year as a top 10 closer. Whether it's with Milwaukee or another team remains to be seen. Hypothetically, a trade to a contender could do wonders for his value, but for the time being he is stuck in Milwaukee and still ranks as a must-own closer. Currently, Jeffress is tied […]

Peter O'Brien (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Bench Stash in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: One of the more anticipated June call-ups finally happened on Friday. Peter O'Brien is the proud owner of the hardest hit home run in the Statcast era, with a 119 MPH exit velocity shot in Spring Training this season that carried 461 feet. […]

Chase Utley (2B, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Chase Utley's name doesn't often have a positive connotation these days, but Dodgers fans are certainly happy to have him. Thor trolling aside, Utley has contributed in several areas, most notably run-scoring. He currently has accumulated 33 R, placing him within the top 20 in the National […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Now with his fifth team over 10 MLB seasons, Steve Pearce is hoping to make Tampa Bay his home. After playing sporadically at first base throughout April, Pearce has somewhat settled in at second base and is receiving more consistent playing time. Perhaps his […]

Carlos Santana (1B, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Santana is still powering up in Cleveland with 10 HR in 57 games, a pace that may result in a 30-HR season. His 11.2% HR/FB% and 4% HR% are both right in line with his career averages. The other side of the coin […]

Sam Dyson (RP, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues. OWNED IN: 70% of Fleaflicker leagues. EXPERT ANALYSIS: Sam Dyson has been solid all season and is worth adding in every size league regardless of format. Dyson was solid in a setup role and has been just as good if not better as the closer for the Rangers. He's now up to […]

Jurickson Profar (2B/SS, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jurickson Profar was supposed to be a temporary call-up to replace the suspended Rougned Odor. The way he's hitting, it doesn't look like he's going back to the minors any time soon. All he's done since being inserted into the lineup is hit safely in […]

Steven Souza Jr. (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all 12+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker leagues. EXPERT ANALYSIS: Steven Souza Jr. has been solid this season as he's already posted 10 HR's and three SB's to go with 50 R+RBI and a .256 batting average. Souza has been lucky with a .369 BABIP and I expect his batting […]

Rajai Davis (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rajai Davis shouldn't be available on waivers in any fantasy league unless stolen bases aren't counted whatsoever. Not only is Davis second in the AL with 13 SB this year, for his career he averages 48 stolen bases over a 162-game season. He has stolen […]

Drafting Running Quarterbacks in Fantasy Football: Cam Newton, Russell Wilson and Tyrod Taylor

The allure of the running quarterback has existed for years. Randall Cunningham was one of the first true dual-threats at the position in the 1980's and '90s, an era that also produced all-time great scramblers like Steve Young and John Elway. It was the arrival of Michael Vick in the NFL as the No. 1 pick […]

Danny Duffy (SP, KCR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Duffy’s supposed breakout in 2014 was a mirage, built primarily on the back of an unsustainable BABIP. He was more or less the same pitcher last year, but when that number normalized, his ERA rose by a run and […]

Running Back Standouts From the 2015-2016 Season: David Johnson, Thomas Rawls and Doug Martin

The lifespan of a running back, on the field and in fantasy seems to get shorter every season. Simply look at the recent production of Eddie Lacy. Is he capable of resiliency and reestablishing himself as one of the game's best young backs? And then there's someone like Marshawn Lynch, who retired at 29 years old, […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're now 10 weeks into the season and the state of catching still leaves a lot to be desired. As of this writing, there still has not been a catcher to crack the 10-homer mark and the top mark of 32 RBIs was 23 behind the Major League leader. One of the main reasons I […]

Week 10 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Last week’s recommendations worked out pretty well. On the buy side, Joey Votto hit .318/.464/.727 with two homers and three (!) stolen bases. Scott Kazmir had his outing against the Braves cut short by leg cramps and didn’t post great ratios. He still struck out a batter per inning and got a win, though. Moving […]
