BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The main beneficiary of a gruesome injury to A.J. Pollock has been Yasmany Tomas.

Asdrubal Cabrera (SS, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Asdrubal Cabrera was widely considered to be outside the top 20 shortstops, but he has produced at an extremely high level in early goings of the season.

Ketel Marte (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ketel Marte’s average sat at just .188 on April 21, but he has gone 9-for-20 with seven runs scored and a stolen base over his last five games.

Brandon Finnegan (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Cincinnati Reds' bullpen is a mess right now, but they have gotten surprisingly good returns from some of their young starters. Brandon Finnegan entered the year with four starts under his belt, but is pitching like a seasoned veteran. He has three quality starts in five […]

Michael Saunders (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's simple - if Michael Saunders can stay healthy, he can produce.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcell Ozuna is the third of the trio that was proclaimed the best outfield in baseball by SI before last season.

Zack Cozart (SS, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Known more for his defense, Zack Cozart has never wowed anyone with his bat.

Bartolo Colon (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Matchup-based Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Bartolo Colon has pitched fairly decent as the New York Mets 4/5 starter, but will likely take a backseat once Zack Wheeler returns. Since that won't happen until early July, Big Sexy is pretty safe in his likely ephemeral role in the starting […]

Nick Markakis (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Braves' fantasy options are pretty slim these days.

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

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned In: 45% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Even with a .216 BA and .298 OBP, Byung Ho Park is still turning heads by producing a .490 slugging percentage and four HR in his first 15 games in the MLB. Clearly the transition from South Korea to the U.S. isn't […]
