Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned In: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Having spent the majority of his seven-year career bouncing around between five teams, Danny Valencia is finally finding stability, though it may not be for long.

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned In: 49% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: After being promoted to the closer role as a result of Huston Street’s injury, 32-year-old Joe Smith has been solid for the most part.

Yasmany Thomas (3B/OF, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add In all leagues Owned In: 56% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: After showing promise last year in his rookie campaign, Yasmany Tomas appears to be ascending to another level in 2016.

Ender Inciarte (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy owners have had to display a great deal of patience so far in dealing with Ender Inciarte.

Jason Castro (C, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in two-catcher leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: You might not think there would be room for a career .236 hitter with a 26.8 K% on fantasy rosters, but in two-catcher leagues, beggars can't be choosers. Jason Castro provides enough power upside to earn starting consideration. He was an All-Star selection just […]

Melvin Upton (OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point in his career, the two biggest knocks about Melvin Upton are that he never lived up to expectations and that he is not his brother. Still, the older Upton has enjoyed a decent amount of success since joining the Padres […]

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rubby De La Rosa had his last start skipped and that raises a few red flags, but he is apparently all good to rejoin the rotation on Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

Sam Dyson (TEX, RP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Shawn Tolleson saga is finally over for now.

Tyler Duffey (MIN, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Duffey may have lost some of his luster after his most recent start.

Kevin Gausman (BAL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'll admit I was skeptical of Kevin Gausman.

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce is a weird guy. He has a breakout season, then you think he might keep it going, and he disappoints.
