JaMychal Green (PF, MEM) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm a huge fan of Brandan Wright's fantasy potential if he can work his way up to anywhere near a starter's share of minutes in filling in for Marc Gasol. Wright has never played more than around 20 minutes a game, though, […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Byung-Ho Park

Okay, so you’ve heard some chatter about this Korean power hitter who the Twins signed this offseason, but you still aren’t sure what he brings to the table. Now it’s hard enough to project how minor leaguers will adjust to major league pitching, but to then add this international wrinkle to it means there’s no […]

Chicago Cubs Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

Everyone knew that when the Chicago Cubs promoted their young prospects it would not take long for them to become a dominant force within the National League. But I don’t know if anyone envisioned them finishing with the third best overall record in baseball, winning 97 games, beating the Pirates in the Wild Card, and […]

Catchers: Five Draft Day Sleepers and ADP Values

Trade to Cardinals Sinks Jedd Gyorko's Value

Going into the off-season, Jedd Gyorko's fantasy relevance was like his status as the Padres' starting second baseman: on thin ice. That ice gave way when he was acquired during the off-season by the Cardinals to be their new utility infielder. Even after rebounding slightly from a dreadful 2014 that saw Gyorko's batting average and […]

Jordan Walden On Schedule For Spring Training

Jordan Walden is on schedule to join his fellow pitchers for the start of Spring Training. A right shoulder strain last May prematurely brought his season to an end. Before that injury, Walden was sporting a pristine 0.87 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 10.45 K/9, along with eight holds, over 10.1 innings. He is expected to […]

Yadier Molina's Thumb Out Of Cast

The cast on Yadier Molina's surgically-repaired thumb has fully been removed. He and the Cardinals continue to be cautiously optimistic that he'll be ready for Opening Day. Molina says he knows where he needs to be in his recovery to be ready for the rigors of the regular season, and it is just a matter […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Tiered Rankings: Catcher (February)

As pitchers and catchers report, I too am here to report with another round of catcher rankings analysis. The analysis focuses on one-catcher standard leagues. In deeper and two-catcher leagues, you will want to prioritize the safer options. You'll also want to drop the higher-risk/higher-reward options lower in your rankings, as the waiver wire will […]

Here at RotoBaller we’ve been cranking out tons of preseason content for some time now. We might be a little obsessed with baseball ‘round these parts. But that’s okay, because so are you!

Philadelphia Phillies Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

It has to be rough to be a fan of Philadelphia sports right now. The 76ers are purposefully tanking to get higher draft picks, the Eagles just lost the division to the Redskins, the Flyers are only a mediocre team at best, and the Phillies are still mired in a very long rebuilding process. This […]

Can Yasmany Tomas Step Up In 2016?

The Diamondbacks took a big leap of faith when they signed Yasmany Tomas to a six-year, $68.5 million contract. Unfortunately for them, and for Tomas' fantasy owners in 2015, Tomas did not perform up to the level a contract like that would merit. He was also a disaster at third base so the dual position […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Week 16 Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers

We are now past the All-Star Break, so it's time is running short to improve your playoff positioning. Remember, the later in the season we get, the less long-term value trumps short-term value.

Max Scherzer’s Consistency Calls For More Brilliance

After signing a seven-year mega deal with the Washington Nationals, Max Scherzer did not disappoint in his first year, posting a strong 2.79 ERA to go with a subpar 14-12 record. The record shouldn’t tarnish his season, however, as he threw four complete games, three shutouts, and two no-hitters. His K/9 ratio was a strong […]

David Wright A Risky Pick On Draft Day?

David Wright is still a good baseball player, and chances are he can still be productive...when he plays. That is the major issue here; a prolonged DL stint will likely hang over Wright and his fantasy owners like the sword of Damocles in 2016. Spinal stenosis is a serious condition for athletes and one has […]

Welington Castillo A Top 15 Catcher in 2016?

Welington Castillo played on three teams last year, but the third one was the charm. In his first 45 games with the Diamondbacks, "Beef Welington" (yes I really want this nickname to stick) went yard 13 times. That pace was obviously unsustainable, but it was impressive nonetheless. That run he had has him poised to […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Looks To Build On Strong Second Half

Let's be real for a second. Asdrubal Cabrera is not a sexy pick at shortstop by any means. The reality is though that shortstop is basically the top 10 options, and then 50 feet of crap. So say you're fishing at the bottom of the barrel, Cabrera isn't a bad guy to take a flier […]
