Adam Eaton (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eaton continues to climb back from the abyss he fell into in April. Though his slash line for the season still sits at a middling .252/.318/.388, he’s posted an .855 OPS in June with three homers and four steals. He’s been the leadoff hitter for […]

Nick Hundley (C, COL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Rockie’s seem to have a surplus of good offensive backstops, and their starter is Nick Hundley. He’s been on a nice little streak recently, bringing his season slash line up to .304/.349/.464. In the last seven games in which […]

Wilin Rosario (C / 1B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s not often that multiple catchers from the same team can be fantasy relevant, but the Rockie’s fit that case this season. Along with Nick Hundley as their starter, Wilin Rosario is their starting first basemen and is catcher eligible […]

Kendall Graveman (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you take away a pair of awful outings against the Houston Astros, Graven has been quietly excellent this season. Since making his return to the A’s rotation on May 23, he’s 2-2 with a 2.27 ERA with 30 strikeouts and just nine […]

Jaime Garcia (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 63% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If Garcia were a robot, he would have blossomed into one of the premier southpaws in baseball years ago. He’s failed to crack 150 innings since 2011, which feels like an eternity. After years of shoulder woes, he’s finally healthy and has done a […]

Why Petr Cech is a Gamechanger of a Signing for Arsenal

The date was July 25th, 2003. Arsenal had just replaced their legendary goalkeeper in David Seaman with Borussia Dortmund's Jens Lehmann. Not much was known about the German but he was brought into the first team as the Gunners looked to build on their 2002-2003 season where they won the FA Cup but failed to […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 13 (Part 1)

What’s not to love about Madison Bumgarner? The guy rolls out World Series wins, dominates on the mound in the playoffs, and drives a pickup truck like he’s still living in the mountains of North Carolina. On Sunday, Bumgarner absolutely destroyed a pitch into the left-field bleachers for his second homerun of the season. His […]

2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook: Cleveland Browns

Remember last season’s offseason drama regarding the Cleveland Browns and their decision to draft Johnny Manziel while simultaneously refusing to commit to a quarterback? Luckily, the hoopla surrounding Manziel in Cleveland has calmed down to somewhat acceptable levels but the team as a whole is still a bit of a mess. Several personnel changes at […]

Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 13

The deeper we get into the season, the harder it becomes for a column of this nature to avoid getting repetitive. Guys who are playing well tend to be owned in the majority of leagues, for obvious reasons, but for one reason or another, certain players get ignored. Often it’s a lousy start that obscures […]

Ivan Nova (NYY, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14-team leagues or deeper OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: After over a year away from the game to recover from Tommy John surgery, Nova came back strong against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. He pitched 6 and 2/3 innings of shutout baseball, allowing only three hits, two walks, and […]

Dioner Navarro (C,TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep two-catcher and AL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dioner Navarro is not the sexiest name in fantasy baseball, but don't be fooled - the guy can produce if given the chance to show it. Fantasy catchers often go underutilized unless leagues require that two backstops be started. […]

Justin Turner (1B / 2B / 3B / SS, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ and NL-Only Leagues. OWNED IN: 23% in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Turner has gone from plug-and-play utility man to fantasy juggernaut in 2015. With injuries galore for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Turner has found himself on the field regularly and playing a key part in seemingly every game. His .320 […]

Week 13 Buy and Sell Starting Pitchers

Solid showing on the buy side last week, as all three pitchers produced quality starts. Of course, both Scott Kazmir and Carlos Martinez spun gems of their own. At least Dan Haren had the courtesy to toss out a clunker against the Cardinals, although he actually pitched well. For once this season, the vagaries of batted […]

Taijuan Walker (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As talented of a pitcher as Taijuan Walker clearly is he has struggled mightily to the point of ownership in fantasy leagues plummeting in epic proportions. At 26% owned Walker is a guy that will not last very long on the wire […]

Eduardo Nunez (SS, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only and Deep Mixed Leagues Ownership: 1.7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eduardo Nunez is slowly finding his way into the lineup regularly-- a result of solid work at the plate on his part and abysmal performances from Eduardo Escobar and the now-demoted Danny Santana. Nunez is hitting .302 on the season, and […]

Marco Estrada (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only and Deep Mixed Leagues Ownership: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marco Estrada made headlines this past week with his perfect-game bid vs. Tampa Bay. He ended up with 8.2 scoreless frames with two hits, no walks and 10 strikeouts. Estrada now has a 3.45 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 63/23 K/BB ratio […]

Yasmani Grandal (CA, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Ownership: 29% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Yasmani Grandal was a pre-season sleeper pick at the catcher position, and is rewarding those who decided to instill faith in the 26-year-old former 12th overall pick. He is currently ranked as the tenth best backstop for fantasy purposes, and his defense has received praise […]

Rougned Odor (2B, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only and Deep Mixed Leagues Ownership: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rougned Odor is only 21 years old. Small timeframes can lead to significant improvement at that age, and inconsistency can also plague such young hitters. I bet on Odor to start the season and lost, but he obliterated AAA pitching to the […]

Logan Forsythe (1B/2B/3B, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This guy shouldn't be a difficult sell, but apparently 77% of Fantasy Baseball Managers still need to be sold. Logan Forsythe currently has a .293 BA, a .827 OPS, eight home runs, and seven stolen bases. He went 1-3 last night on […]

Cut List: Players to Consider Cutting Bait On (Week 12)

Stoneface (micro)brewery on the Seacoast of New Hampshire is FANTASTIC. Hidden in a warehouse space in a commercial office park near the highway. It has no particular appeal, other than the beer. No restaurant or bar, just a concrete floor with kegs, boxes and stacks of beer surrounding a counter with taps for tasting and […]
