Poetry In Motion: The Strikeout Prowess of Aaron Nola

Nola? More like Nolan! While Aaron Nola may not be as physically imposing as the Ryan Express, his strikeout rate is in elite territory this season. Nolan Ryan's career 9.5 K/9 doesn't reflect the dominance of his era, as he led the league in strikeouts 11 times. These days, hitters are more aggressive and pitchers […]

Ervin Santana (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ervin Santana strikes me as one of those post-hype guys who flies under the radar simply because he has been around for so long. A suspension for a positive drug test prior to the start of last season likely added to the perception that […]

Brandon Guyer (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Guyer has widely been considered a decent 4th OF option in both the Cubs and Rays systems since 2007. He even was being strictly platooned for his disparities vs RHP and LHP. But then Desmond Jennings decided to hit WAY below […]

Jose Reyes (SS, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that we know that Jose Reyes's suspension is up at the beginning of June, owners should check in to their league to see if they can grab him at bargain value before he latches on to another team and gets everyday […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Angels have been nothing short of a disaster in 2016 in the early-going and most of that falls on the injury plagued pitching staff that has engulfed them.
