Week 3 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball

It's Week 3 and the stars are just beginning to align in the cosmos of the MLB. Injuries are rampant, waiver wires are scarce and Nelson Cruz home runs are abundant. Fantasy owners everywhere are vigorously trying to gain an edge quickly and enjoy early season success. But remember; baseball is a marathon, not a […]

Ike Davis (1B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Another forgotten player this year is Oakland A’s first baseman Ike Davis. The once highly touted Mets prospect seems poised for a bounce back season in the bay area. After his breakout season in 2012 when Davis hit 32 HR, the lefty slugger has had […]

Kevin Plawecki (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in two-catcher and NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Before the season began, many (including yours truly) were touting Travis d'Arnaud as a breakout candidate. TDA was well on his way to making good on that promise, slashing .317/.356/.537 through his first 11 games before having his hand broken by […]

Ian Kennedy Coming Off DL, Start Saturday

Ian Kennedy will return from the 15-day DL Saturday to start for the San Diego Padres at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to the Times of San Diego. Kennedy started the home opener for the Padres on April 9. Unfortunately for the 30-year-old veteran, he had to leave in the middle of the […]

Addison Russell (SS, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Though he has not received the attention that Kris Bryant receives in the Cubs system, Addison Russell has quietly hit at every level. He has consistently been counted on at every level to maintain a high batting average and provide a lot of […]

Dustin Ackley (OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Target in AL only leagues and Deep leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So far in 2015 we're seeing more July and August 2014 Dustin Ackley than we're seeing September and October 2014 Dustin Ackley. And that's a good thing. Ackley limped to the finish line last season hitting .149, but in […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 3 (Part 2)

There is a saying during the NBA playoffs: "It ain’t a series until the home team loses," or something like that. There is a similar saying for MLB that goes, “it ain’t a season until a manager melts down.” Okay maybe that saying doesn’t exist. But it sure feels like it does. Recently, Reds manager […]

Fantasy Baseball Strategy: 7 Tips to Avoid Early Season Jitters

  For Long-Term Success, Don't Overreact Early in the Season Perhaps more than at any other point in the season, fantasy owners are prone to overreaction in April. Everybody wants to get off to a good start, and correctly identifying breakouts and busts as early as possible can go a long way toward determining who […]

First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week Three

Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season. This can be especially true at the infield corners, an area where the stars are readily scooped up and finding a low cost alternative can be often difficult. Here at RotoBaller, we're always looking […]

Alex Cobb To Throw First Bullpen Session Friday Since DL Stint

Alex Cobb will throw a bullpen session Friday for the first time since he was placed on the disabled list right before the start of the 2015 MLB season, according to the Tampa Bay Times. This is big news for a Tampa Bay Rays team that has dropped four games in a row before Wednesday’s […]

Jose Bautista Could Land On DL With Shoulder Soreness

Jose Bautista could land on the 15-day DL because of a sore shoulder, according to a report by Sportsnet. The Toronto Jays outfielder may have aggravated an already hurt shoulder on Tuesday when he attempted to throw Delmon Young out at first base from right field, according to the tweet by Sportsnet reporter, Barry Davis. […]

Jake Marisnick (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues; Monitor in All Other Leagues  OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marisnick is already on his third organization, though he turned just 24 a few weeks ago. He was part of that mammoth Blue Jays-Marlins trade that broke the Internet back in 2012. Miami is known for aggressively promoting their […]

Miguel Gonzalez (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep (14+ Team) Leagues or AL Only OWNED IN: In 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Gonzalez has been sneaky effective for Baltimore, posting a 2.07 ERA since the All-Star break of last season. He was tremendous in his second to last start, setting a career high in strikeouts (10) while limiting the Yankees to […]

Shane Greene (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ll admit, I was not ready to buy Greene in shallower leagues after his first start vs Minnesota. Unfortunately owners in my leagues did not need his second start at Pittsburgh to make the move. Greene was dominant against the Pirates, pitching eight innings of scoreless […]

Luis Valbuena (2B/3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s about time Jose Altuve got a bit of help in the Astros lineup. Eventually George Springer will get going and find his niche once again, which lies in the form of eye-opening power. But until he gets hot, Luis Valbuena is virtually the only […]

Will Middlebrooks (3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you need a third basemen, or corner infielder, to provide some production in the coming weeks, take a look at the Padre’s Will Middlebrooks. Middlebrooks has been a valuable fantasy player at times throughout his short career but has also had long slumps […]

Nori Aoki (OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's an odd-numbered year, so of course the Giants are struggling. Most of them, anyway. Aoki's doing quite well for himself in the early going, hitting .344/.408/.438 with four stolen bases. He's only scored seven runs as San Francisco has been held to two […]

Archie Bradley (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Mixed Leagues OWNED IN: Owned In 26% of Fleaflicker! Leagues ANALYSIS: Archie Bradley was a heavily-touted prospect in 2014, with many fantasy pundits labeling him as a can’t-miss player. Fast forward to Spring Training of this year and it was looking like he’d be the odd man out until Arizona dealt Trevor Cahill […]

MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Lucroy, Zobrist, Jansen, d'Arnaud, Mesoraco and More

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner. They're the little “what if” clauses hanging over every fantasy season - that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to […]

The 2015 season is well underway, but it’s never too early to start trying to improve your team. Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team off the waiver wire. These players are usually widely available in […]

Darren O'Day (RP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite not tallying many wins or saves, Darren O’Day is still an excellent fantasy option. He can help lower the ERA and WHIP of any fantasy squad. In seven innings, O’Day has allowed just two hits and one run while striking out seven batters. He has a […]
