Adam Conley (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Conley has been one of the biggest surprises so far in the 2016 season. The 25-year-old owns a 3.06 ERA with 34 K in 32.1 IP, and has dominated in each of his last two starts. Over those two outings, he has allowed no […]

Brad Miller (SS/OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brad Miller got off to a terrible start early in April, but he's really turned things around in the last two weeks.

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Marcell Ozuna was a popular target in fantasy drafts last year after hitting 23 homers in 2014.

Ketel Marte (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: After going 4-for-5 with his first homer of the year on Monday, Marte is hitting .297/.323/.398. Over the last two weeks, he's running a .920 OPS, helping to offset his stumble out of the gate. The 22 year old isn't a […]

Carlos Santana (1B, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Santana lost a decent chunk of his fantasy value after the Indians moved him out from behind the plate. His power numbers were excellent for a catcher, but are merely decent for a first baseman. His inability to hit for […]

Kevin Gausman (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Over the past two seasons, Kevin Gausman has flashed the potential that led the Orioles to select him with the fourth pick in the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft.

Jose Ramirez (2B/SS/3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jose Ramirez, the Indians' nine-hitter, has been playing left field and third base, and he should occasionally spell Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor in the middle infield slots. He's been hot to begin the season, hitting .310 with 12 RBI, and […]

Derek Dietrich (2B/3B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Dee Gordon suspended, Derek Dietrich has been handed the starting job at second base. So far, he’s running with it, hitting .323/.408/.597. Dietrich hit 10 homers in 289 plate appearances last season, so the pop is real. The average is probably headed down, […]

Brandon Moss (1B/OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon Moss’s plate discipline metrics and batting average continue to trend in the wrong direction, but at least he’s hitting for power again.

Martin Prado (2B/3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Martin Prado isn’t going to hit .400 all season. We all know better than that. But he is a career .293 hitter and routinely one of the most difficult hitters in baseball to strike out. Reliable sources of batting average are […]

Jonathan Villar (SS/3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jonathan Villar has more stolen bases this season than anyone not named Jose Altuve, and most of them have come in the past two weeks. He’s holding his own at the plate despite a lack of power. With Domingo Santana battling […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember when everyone was freaking out over how much Byung Ho Park was whiffing? Well, now his strikeout rate is…not great, certainly, but tenable. As a result, he’s raised his OPS to a cool .907. That’s fifth among all first basemen. […]
