Tyler Duffey (MIN, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We're digging deep here, so AL-Only owners listen up. Perhaps owners are scared off by the 4.60 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, but there's more to Duffey than meets the eye. Duffey debuted at Toronto and allowed five earned runs in just two innings before getting […]

Jerad Eickhoff (PHI, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team / NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I wanted to include Eickhoff in last week's article but considering you couldn't even add him for his debut in most leagues, I decided to hold off. We ended missing out on an excellent debut - six scoreless innings with a 5/1 K/BB ratio and […]

Wade Miley (BOS, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: One week after I discussed a player I was frightened of (Garza), it's only fitting I feature another play that makes my stomach turn. Jokes aside, Wade Miley has earned our attention. In the month of August, Miley has put together […]

Kris Medlen (KC, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As I predicted, Medlen has found his way back into the rotation after replacing Jeremy Guthrie for Kansas City. Medlen has a 2.51 ERA in seven relief appearances this year, but it needs to be noted that all of those runs were in his […]

Chris Colabello (1B / OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: But Max, he isn’t playing in 7 games this week. Well guess what? My article, my rules! With Toronto now lined up to face three LHP (Holland, Perez, Boyd) I except Colabello to find his way back into the lineup after sitting […]

Michael Conforto (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Conforto hasn’t contributed too much to the Year of the Rookie, but most pundits expected him to struggle making the jump from Double-A. He’s currently hitting .224/.333/.448 with 3 HR and 11 RBI as part of a platoon in LF. He’s […]

Charlie Morton (SP, PIT) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite having an up and down season, Charlie Morton has hit quite a high the past few starts. After striking out nine Mets, he followed up with another eight over a combined 13 innings while only giving up two earned runs in […]

Mike Zunino (C, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team / Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This player has been such a pariah to many fantasy owners who thought he would be one of the best sleeper catchers in fantasy baseball. His amazingly slow start had owners dumping him fast and letting him figure out his hitting issues […]

Blake Swihart (C, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team / Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: A few weeks back fellow Red Sox C Ryan Hanigan made this list and Blake Swihart seemed to be fading into the distance. This rookie has decided to turn around and sprint towards proving he deserves to belong. Recently Swihart has […]

Chris Coghlan (OF / 2B, CHC) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Chris Coghlan has put up a very respectable campaign in 2015, and he has been particularly hot of late. In his last 15 games, he’s hitting .297 with eight runs scored, 10 RBIs and three homers. He’s eligible at second base and in the […]

BALLER MOVE: Target in Fourth Round as WR2 Current ADP: 47 STD, 45 PPR ANALYSIS: Amari Cooper has a current ADP of 47 in standard leagues, placing him in the fourth round of most 12-team drafts.

It’s not easy being a statistics nerd. It’s even rougher being a baseball nerd. Talking baseball with family and friends is difficult.

An extraterrestrial […]
