BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien, 24, shortstop, is hoping that there’s no place like home.

Shane Greene (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Greene was considered an afterthought in a three team trade last season between the Dbacks, Yankees and Tigers.

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Miller made quite an impression on fantasy owners as a rookie in 2013.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Highly touted prospects are often proclaimed as saviors toward their organization.

Anthony Gose (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Anthony Gose was a second-round pick by the Phillies in the 2008 amateur draft. Like many of the organization’s prospects, he was plucked out of high school with more athleticism than baseball skills.

Top Five Dynasty / Keeper Shortstops for 2015

Winning in a dynasty league requires bold strategy, smart trades and a ton of luck. This past season in a keeper league, I lost in the semifinals on account of a Carlos Santana stolen base.
