Trevor Plouffe (1B/3B,MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: I know that Trevor Plouffe is not one of the sexiest fantasy options in any format given his very average career numbers. However, balance that out with his ample opportunities hitting in the middle of a young lineup that produces a ton […]

Ketel Marte (SS,SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: A TON of you were scared off by the bad start of Ketel Marte and I can't say I would have blamed you. But if you stuck it out and made him your SS with confidence for the year or kept/drafted him in a dynasty […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues, Stash in Deep Mixed Leagues OWNED IN: 20 Percent of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Yasmani Grandal was set to start the season on time after undergoing shoulder surgery this offseason, but a forearm injury in spring training resulted in the 27-year-old missing more than a week of action to begin April. Grandal brought his […]

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcell Ozuna has gone 6-for-18 in his last four games, picking up three home runs, five runs batted in and four runs scored over that span.

MLB Hitter Cheat Sheet (5/5/16): Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Picks

You don't need an expert to tell you to play Josh Donaldson tonight against Derek Holland. It is much more difficult, however, to sift through the cheap DFS options for the right value plays that can help you fit in the studs you want and put your lineup over the top. That is the purpose of this article -- to […]

Melvin Upton (OF, SDP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues. Owned in: 22% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Whether Melvin Upton has an OBP of .343 (which he currently does) or has an OBP of .000343, you can bet that he is a huge threat to steal bases as long as he has the chance. By improving his walk […]

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

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 20% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Justin Bour finished fifth in NL ROY voting last year right behind Noah Syndergaard and right in front of Joc Pederson. This is because last season Bour slugged .479 with a .800 OPS and hit 23 HR in 409 AB. This […]

Brandon Phillips (2B, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues. Owned in: 50% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Despite his youthful energy and taste in walk-up music, Brandon Phillips is actually 34 years old and was drafted in 1999 by the Montreal Expos. However, despite predictions for years, his age has yet to take a significant toll on his play. […]

Steven Souza (OF, TBR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues. Owned in: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: When a power/speed combo like Steven Souza is available in 40% of leagues, Fantasy Baseball Managers should take heavy notice. Last season with Tampa Bay he was able to hit 16 HR and steal 12 bases in 373 AB with just a […]

John Lamb (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues. Owned in: 1% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: With a seemingly endless pool of potential for rotation possibilities, John Lamb may have been slightly lost in the Cincinnati youth depth due to his injury induced absence. Last season in ten GS for the Reds; Lamb struggled with allowing HR […]

Kevin Gausman (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 38% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Kevin Gausman has come in with "guns a blazin" for an Orioles rotation in bad need of some consistent quality. In two games started this season Gausman has a 2.45 ERA, a 0.909 WHIP, a 2.5 BB/9, and 8.2 K/9. While […]

Zack Cozart (SS, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues. Owned in: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: People may forget that last season before being sidelined by injury that Zack Cozart was slugging .459 with nine HR and three SB in just 194 AB. This season Cozart has picked up right where he left off with an impressive […]

Michael Saunders (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Michael Saunders has gotten off to a mind-blowing start especially when considering the offensive company he keeps in the clubhouse. Saunders has started off the year with four HR and a fantastic slash line of .301/.383/.542. Saunders's success at the plate […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire: Catchers

The first month of the season is usually filled with oddities. I'm not talking weather-related ones where it still feels like winter in May. For example, there was a stretch in the late 1980s when it seemed like Yankees catcher Don Slaught would always enter May hitting around .500. Of course, he'd wind up crashing […]

Joe Panik (2B, SFG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues. Owned in: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Joe Panik has gotten off to a great start at the plate this season, which is even more impressive considering he makes San Francisco his home turf. In 93 AB this season Panik has three HR, a 120 OPS+, and an impressive […]

Week 5 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Last week’s buys did pretty well. Miguel Sano hasn’t gone deep since last week’s column, but he did start May by going 5-for-11 with three doubles and a couple of walks. He’s pushed his batting average up to .260 and, when the homers start coming, that’s plenty good enough. Though Chris Archer wasn’t dominant in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/5/16): MLB DFS Advice

I'm going to assume that no one is going to play the all day slate. Let's be honest, it's not worth risking locking some lineup spots early just so you can get in one early game and one of those weird 6:00 (ET) matchups. Besides, all the money is on the main slates anyway. There […]

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues. Owned in: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: In Great American Ball Park, you are going to give up HR, it is just part of the environment. The good news for when Anthony DeSclafani returns to the Red's rotation: he doesn't put a lot of people on base. In […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues. Owned in: 41% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Marcus Semien currently owns a BA of just .205 and an OBP of just .285. So what makes him be of any value at all, especially considering his bumbling lack of a glove at shortstop? Despite Semien's lackluster average and high […]

Kevin Pillar (TOR, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It's looking like Kevin Pillar's demotion earlier in the season to the bottom of the lineup is beginning to pay off. It took some time for Pillar to transition into his new role, but since the move he's been batting .381 (21-55) with six runs scored, […]

Jonathan Villar (SS, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jonathan Villar leads the National League with eight stolen bases — tied for second in all of baseball — despite having just 87 AB. The 25-year-old shortstop is hitting .264/.379/.379 with one home run, six runs batted in and 13 runs scored, and […]
