Chris Herrmann (C, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Chris Herrmann was a limited source of offense as a backup catcher in Minnesota the last couple of years.

Chris Owings (2B/SS/OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Super-utility man Chris Owings has been filling in in the outfield since A.J.

Eduardo Nunez (SS/3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only league OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Too many fantasy owners are asleep at the wheel if Eduardo Nunez is still just incredibly under-owned.

Danny Santana (SS/OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only league OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Danny Santana has been bringing up the rear in the Minnesota lineup, but he's there to act as a second lead-off hitter more than anything.

Trayce Thompson (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: A second-round pick by the White Sox back in 2009, Trayce Thompson produced solid but unspectacular numbers as he rose slowly through the minor league ranks.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For the past decade, Rajai Davis has been a journeyman well known among fantasy owners as a source of cheap speed and not much else.

Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Before the season began, some dashing fellow predicted that Jonathan Schoop would be among the best fantasy options at the keystone.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: A former first round pick and the headliner of the trade that brought Miguel Cabrera to the Tigers, Maybin has bounced around the league and ended up back in the Motor City.
