Yasmany Tomas (OF/3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in every size league. OWNED IN: 59% of Fleaflicker leagues. ANALYSIS: Last season it appeared that Tomas was a better hitter than most thought, but that his immense raw power was miles away from actually playing in game. This season is a totally different story. Not only does Tomas still appear to be a strong […]

Domingo Santana (OF, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in every size league. OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker leagues. ANALYSIS: Santana missed about a week due to a sore shoulder but he is back playing the field and hitting atop the Brewers lineup. The combination of the batting position and a healthy .360 OBP% has helped Domingo post fifteen runs scored along […]

Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Bour has been labeled as an "all or nothing" type of hitter. He racks up a ton of K and provides some cheap power at the 1B and CI position in fantasy leagues. Bour's BABIP is about 30 points below his career […]

Ender Inciarte (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ender Inciarte was going to be the leadoff hitter of the future for the Atlanta Braves. But then he got hurt and missed the early part of this season. His fantasy stock plummeted. Owners got excited for the rise of Mallex Smith […]

Steven Souza (OF, TBR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: So far with the Rays this season, Steven Souza has a slash line of .270/.326/.525 with eight HR, and one SB. While his power/speed prowess of last year's 16-12 total may not be emerging, Souza is more than making up for that difference […]

Chris Owings (2B/SS/OF, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: First and foremost, when a player is eligible at three different positions including two shallow infield positions, it adds significant value, and that is clear in the case of Chris Owings. With a .284 AVG, .336 OBP, and six stolen bases […]

Yasmani Grandal (C, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 38% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: With a current slash line of .210/.301/.395, Yasmani Grandal's statistics don't exactly scream "must-own". Grandal has been in a bit of a slump in the month of May by batting just .108, but his BABIP was .083. That is a figure we […]

Khris Davis (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 43% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Khris Davis recently hit three HR including a walk-off Grand Slam against the Rangers. So in addition to everything we are about to discuss, there is that little nugget. Before that performance, Davis had a poor BA and OBP of .214 and […]

Nick Markakis (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 19% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Hard to believe an Atlanta Brave is drawing any notice for good work at the plate this season, but Nick Markakis qualifies. Markakis always makes his living with a good overall slash line and the potential for double digit HR figures. […]

Derek Dietrich (2B/3B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After owners lost Dee Gordon for 80 games due to a PED suspension, no one expected his replacement to step in and be fantasy relevant. All Derek Dietrich has done since taking Gordon's playing time is make the Marlins think about getting […]

Adam Conley (SP,MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues. OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Good left handed pitching has become a priceless possession these days and Adam Conley wants to be another prize in Miami for years to come. Conley came into 2016 as a major sleeper with his high K rate potential with room to […]

Fernando Rodney (RP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 70% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Fernando Rodney's ownership continues to rise. Rightfully so. In 16 appearances and 16 innings of work, Rodney has yet to surrender an earned run. His BB total is high at seven, but considering he has kept the damage at bay, no harm no foul. His K/9 sits at an […]

John Jaso (1B/OF, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 7% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: John Jaso is quite appealing in terms of BA and OBP, with his current figures sitting at .279 and .350 this season. Jaso has had very average power hitting, but his consistency and precision at the plate has been hard to […]

Brandon Moss (1B, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: If you are one of the owners that has already taken a chance on Brandon Moss, chances are you aren't turned off by his .222 AVG, .316 OBP, or his 30.1% strikeout rate. What is most important? Moss is currently slugging […]

Angel Pagan (OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: When Angel Pagan is healthy, we all know he has 15/15 HR/SB or 15/20 potential. The problem is, he's hurt fairly often. After starting the season in a very strong fashion, Pagan suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out for […]

Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 21% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Jake Lamb has been a hot add this season to say the least. In 131 AB this year Lamb has five home runs, two stolen bases, and a slash line of .275/.364/.519, and has 21 RBI this season which is tied […]

Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonathan Schoop is on fire right now, and he's making people who stuck with him feel like geniuses. He's a headache to own in H2H leagues because you never know when he's going to pop off. You definitely want him in […]

Using K-BB% to Win Your Fantasy Baseball League

We’ve talked about how a pitcher’s SIERA is greatly influenced by their strikeout and walk rates, with the idea being that creating your own outs deserves more value while allowing batters to reach base for free is the devil. Perhaps you enjoy seeing more focused metrics, or would simply rather see the strikeouts and walks […]

Byung-ho Park (1B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 48% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: So far in 2016, Byung-ho Park has more than met the Twins' high expectations for him by hitting nine home runs, stealing one base, and producing a fantastic slash line of .257/.342/.581. Park has a phenomenal isolated power number of .324 that […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off major shoulder surgery, it appears that all is going well for Devon Travis. In a rehab game last Friday, Travis hit an RBI double for Toronto's AA team. He appears to be feeling very good and it's just a […]

Mike Napoli (1B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Napoli has been a surprise this season. He's always had power, but he gets hurt a lot and is hitting in a weak Indians lineup. That being said, he's still a cleanup hitter and he's living up to the role. […]

Brandon Drury (3B/OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: At the beginning of the season it wasn't clear whether Brandon Drury would be an everyday player for the Arizona Diamondbacks. With a set outfield and the up-and-coming Jake Lamb manning third base, where did Drury fit into an improving offensive team? […]

Adam Duvall (OF, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: After coming to Cincinnati in a swap for Mike Leake (good call Cincy), Adam Duvall has made the Reds very optimistic in their return on investment. In just 169 AB total with the Reds this season and last, Duvall has already hit […]

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

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 7% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: For a guy who had a slash line of .212/.286/.343 all of last year, it is a bit of a shock that Chase Utley has been able to turn his work at the plate around especially while sporting the George Clooney […]

Howie Kendrick (2B/OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Howie Kendrick might be resembling Danny Glover nowadays, but at 32, he isn't yet "too old for this...stuff". While Kendrick has had a poor start to the year, especially in power hitting with a mere SLG of .213, he has been […]
