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

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.

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.

BALLER MOVE: Bench Stash in 12+ Team Leagues  OWNED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite an 0-for-12 start at the plate to the 2016 campaign, Pedro Alvarez has displayed plenty of power in the past, hitting 30, 36, 18, and 27 home runs respectively over his last four seasons.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor was very impressive this spring, yet he entered the season as the Nationals' fourth outfielder.

Aaron Nola (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I seriously want to start calling Aaron Nola "Big Easy."
