Week 6 Buy and Sell Pitchers for Fantasy Baseball

Trevor Plouffe (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Plouffe has been better than ever before as of late.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So you are still chugging along with an offense that can easily win you your league, but you need one more SP to really seal it.

The Cut List, Week 5: Time to Let These Players Go

Welcome back to the Cut List, the place where I bitch and moan about my terrible fantasy team. Seriously, what is up with Carlos Gonzalez? My season is slipping away with every 0-for-4. So what do I do? I can't trade CarGo now, at his lowest value, so my only choice is to bench him and […]

Dynasty / Keeper Deeper Dive: Jose Peraza

Peraza's Time Draws Near It's hard to find quality offensive players at either shortstop or second base. That's common knowledge. That's why teams like the Yankees are rumored to be looking to the trade market for some help. One such guy they have been rumored to like is Jose Peraza. Now the Braves' front office […]

David Ortiz Loses Appeal, Serves One-Game Suspension Friday

Alfredo Simon (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues and Deep Leagues (14+ Teams) OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm still a little hesitant on fully endorsing Alfredo Simon this season, but he's doing his best to convince me that he's at least worth a bench spot in deep leagues.

Colby Rasmus (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream vs. RHP; add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Nothing says consistent, cheap power like Colby Rasmus. His power may be an even greater value this season. What  is most important about Rasmus is just how much power he packs into his swing. Rasmus currently ranks 11th in […]

Jon Niese (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed or NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jon Niese's numbers are practically calling out for regression. The 2.74 ERA with two wins may be shiny, but his underlying peripherals tell the story of a pitcher who's been remarkably lucky without great stuff. Niese's 5.48 K/9 and 3.52 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Formats OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo, 66% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Last season Denard Span was waiver wire gold for fantasy baseball managers.

Jake McGee (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Upon Activation ANALYSIS: Brad Boxberger has done a great job filling in as closer for the Rays while Jake McGee recovers from elbow surgery.

Joe Niese (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Leagues Ownership: 17% Yahoo!, 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Watching Jon Niese pitch this season, one can sense that he has just not put it all together quite yet.
