BALLER MOVE: Deep NL-Only Leagues, Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Rupp could help a LOT of lineups as a second catcher. He's hitting .282 with 29 hits, and while his two homers show a lack of power, he's hitting better than a lot of catchers right now, many of whom are established […]

Francisco Cervelli (C, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Francisco Cervelli’s batting average and ownership numbers keep going down a bit (he was at .267 before Wednesday's game), but he should have no problem turning things around.

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Catcher

It's kind of appropriate that it feels like summer as I write this today. The temperature's in the red and so are the ownership levels of catchers on Fleaflicker. Week Eight is not great. It's like a bad day on the stock market - there's red all over as people seem to be cutting catchers. […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Outfield

It's already Week 8 of the MLB season and there aren't many on-the-fence guys left on the waiver wire, at least not in the outfield.

Poetry in Motion: The Speed of Jonathan Villar

Jonathan Villar is your National League steals leader. No, really. Villar has 15 SB in 21 attempts and shows no sign of slowing down--literally.
