Odubel Herrera (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 20% of Leagues It is no secret I am a HUGE fan of this former Rule 5 pick of the Philadelphia Phillies, and he continues to pay dividends to how much of a great player he truly is. Last season he had some rough patches but […]

Joe Ross (SP, WSH) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ leagues Owned in: 52% of Fleaflicker leagues If you didn't know who Joe Ross was during his audition with the Washington Nationals in 2015 you have no reason to forget him now. Ross started 13 games in 2015 and had a 5-5 record with 8 K/9, .265 BABIP, 3.64 ERA and […]

Nathan Eovaldi (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team teagues OWNERSHIP: 16% in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: In most cases, being in the Yankees' starting rotation is enough to warrant fantasy consideration. Nathan Eovaldi has been under the radar thus far, despite posting a 14-3 W-L record last season. The main reason he is undervalued is due to his career 4.14 ERA […]

Overrated, Underrated: Week Two

Prior to the season's commencement, I offered up a pair of players who could have been selected later in drafts as cheaper, yet comparable, alternatives to more highly-touted players. To continue the same train of thought, I will provide, on a weekly basis, underrated alternatives to overrated players. Aside from the first week of baseball […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 2)

Michael Saunders (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Saunders has always had the ability to be a five tool player but it sure helps to regain your form by getting out of Seattle and being amongst the murderer's row of talent known as the Toronto Blue Jays. Saunders can slot in the bottom third […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As the biggest prize for the Philadelphia Phillies in the Ken Giles trade this past winter, Vince Velasquez was not only expected to compete for a rotation spot but also to be a major factor early in 2016. Velasquez was nothing short of dominant in his first […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (4/11/16): MLB DFS Advice

One week down in the 2016 MLB season and we’re already starting to see those wild price fluctuations that are oh-so rare in August. Be sure to check the names of players dropping in price. Sometimes that aging veteran at $3,200 is a better play than that red hot up-and-comer priced at $4,500. Except Tyler […]

Joey Rickard (OF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After spending four years in the minor leagues with the Tampa Bay Rays hitting .280 with a .390 OBP and a .790 OPS, Joey Rickard is now bouncing back and forth between hitting 9th and 1st for Baltimore.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Hector Olivera began his major league career at the age of 30 last season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only leagues. OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker leagues.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/11/16): NBA DFS Advice

My favorite stacks of the night are the Houston Rockets against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings against the Phoenix Suns.

Yasmani Grandal (C, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Flea Flicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes in fantasy baseball, owners tend to know about a player long before they reach the Majors, which can stretch a career retrospective back further than the career itself. Yasmani Grandal is one of those players, at least for me. One of […]

Baller move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 72% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Souza managed an impressive 16 homers and 12 stolen bases last season despite the fact that he dealt with wrist injuries that limited him to only 373 at-bats.
