Will Harris (RP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Will Harris has gone under-appreciated for a long time. How could he improve on last season's figures of a 1.90 ERA, 0.901 WHIP, and just 2.8 BB/9? Try his start to the 2016 season in which he has a 0.46 ERA, […]

Adam Conley (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10+ team leagues Owned in: 36% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: In nine starts so far this season Adam Conley has a 4.15 ERA, a 3.56 FIP, and a 1.43 WHIP. His isolated performance shows better than his actual ERA because Conley has increased his strikeout volume this season to 8.5 K/9 and […]

Alcides Escobar (SS, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Alcides Escobar is nothing if not dependable. He has not had a significant injury since becoming a full-time starter back in 2010. Last year, the 148 games he played was actually his lowest since that time as well. In terms of production, Escobar might […]

Tony Cingrani (RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 29% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: It is a well known fact that the Cincinnati bullpen is pretty much the worst relief system in the MLB. It may also be well known that the Reds named Tony Cingrani the official closer. That may not mean much in […]

Chris Herrmann (C, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Chris Herrmann was a limited source of offense as a backup catcher in Minnesota the last couple of years. He seems to be enjoying the Arizona climate a great deal more. The former Miami Hurricane has jumped into fantasy relevance with a few […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Super-utility man Chris Owings has been filling in in the outfield since A.J. Pollock's injury, and he should continue to collect at-bats with David Peralta also sidelined with a wrist issue. Owings hit .350 over the last week to bring his average up […]

Johnny Giavotella (2B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Besides Mike Trout and Kole Calhoun, someone on the Angels has to hit, right? Johnny Giavotella has been terrific for the Angels over the last couple weeks, going 19-for-52 with eight runs and eight RBI. While it's true that the Angels were considering […]

Eduardo Nunez (SS/3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only league OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Too many fantasy owners are asleep at the wheel if Eduardo Nunez is still just incredibly under-owned. He's gotten off to a blistering start in 2016, hitting .320 with 16 R, 17 RBI, three jacks and eight stolen bases. Nunez is locked in as […]

Danny Santana (SS/OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only league OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Danny Santana has been bringing up the rear in the Minnesota lineup, but he's there to act as a second lead-off hitter more than anything. He's been contributing in multiple categories lately -- hitting .302 with six runs, six RBI and four steals in […]

Trayce Thompson (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: A second-round pick by the White Sox back in 2009, Trayce Thompson produced solid but unspectacular numbers as he rose slowly through the minor league ranks. He finally reached the big leagues last season and acquitted himself well, hitting .295/.363/.533 with […]

Rajai Davis (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For the past decade, Rajai Davis has been a journeyman well known among fantasy owners as a source of cheap speed and not much else. Over the past two weeks, however, Davis has been one of the most valuable hitters in […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Before the season began, some dashing fellow predicted that Jonathan Schoop would be among the best fantasy options at the keystone. While he hasn't been quite good enough to crack the top eight second basemen, Schoop is having a fine season […]

Cameron Maybin (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: A former first round pick and the headliner of the trade that brought Miguel Cabrera to the Tigers, Maybin has bounced around the league and ended up back in the Motor City. He was hit by a pitch and suffered a broken […]
