Dillon Gee (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Mets are welcoming Dillon Gee back to the rotation on tonight (July 9th) and if he can pick up where he left off before his disabled list stint fantasy owners must get him while they can. Gee owns a 3-1 record while maintaining a 2.73 ERA and a […]

Jake McGee (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Ray's bullpen has been manned by a number of relievers, but none have been as successful as Jake McGee. McGee seems to have been the closer in waiting for a couple of seasons, and now he's getting more of an opportunity, with 3 saves in […]

Dayan Viciedo (OF, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues / All Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Dayan Viciedo is on another one of his hot streaks and HR binges, making his way back onto our fantasy baseball waiver wire sleepers list. After a long cold stretch, Viciedo has gotten white hot recently. Over the past 7 days, he is hitting to the tune of a […]

Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Since 2008, Adam LaRoche has 25 or more homers in every year except 2011 - and he was hurt that year. So what is LaRoche doing being owned in only 66 % of Yahoo-leagues? That is just craziness, and he could even be labeled right now as […]

Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: One of the more highly-regarded prospects in all of baseball just a few years back, the Rays have trusted Jake Odorizzi unconditionally since acquiring him from the Royals for James Shields. The young righty got off to a questionable start in 2014, allowing three […]

Jose Quintana (CWS, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team or Deeper Leagues / Continue Scouting in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: I loved Jose Quintana as one  of my pre-season sleepers, somewhat based on the fact that the Sox offered him an extension. I figured their development people must have seen something and thus he'd be a good investment. Unfortunately, he […]

Starting Pitchers Returning from the DL to Target on the Waiver Wire

Starting Pitchers Returning from the DL in Week 15 When I took a look at the pitchers available in most leagues, I noticed three sleeper pitchers that are set to return from the disabled list this week. There are different levels of the leagues in which they should be owned, but all three sleepers are worth […]

Fantasy Baseball Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 15

Fantasy Baseball Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups This week we focus on the wildly inconsistent. These players have loads of potential, but cannot put it all together for one reason or another. Some of these players may be turning the corner and can be considered sleepers for the next month or even the second half, […]

Austin Jackson (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting / Stash in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Jackson has had a disappointing first half in 2014, hitting just .244 with only 3 HR thus far. Coming off two seasons in which he hit .300 and .272, many fantasy owners had him on their list of pre-season sleepers, and expected him to produce nicely […]

DJ LeMahieu (2B / 3B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: DJ LeMahieu is a speedy middle infielder / corner infielder who plays for the Colorado Rockies. LeMahieu hasn't gotten all that much attention in fantasy leagues so far, and that's probably for good reason. He really hasn't been a plus producer so far this year. However […]

Adam Lind (1B / DH, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Edwin Encarnacion is headed to the DL with his strained quadriceps, and his estimated two-to-four week absence may be key to any playoff hopes that the Jays have. Adam Lind, Munenori Kawasaki and Juan Francisco will all be important in filling the holes left by both Brett […]

Jhonny Peralta (SS, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jhonny Peralta made the move from the enormous Comerica Park in Detroit, to the much more hitter-friendly Busch Stadium this season after signing with the Cardinals. As a result, his power numbers are better than they've been in recent seasons, and with his recent hot streak he is […]

David Freese (3B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: David Freese is probably most remembered for being the World Series hero for the Cardinals in 2011. However, after his trade to the Angels, he hasn't quite been the same player for most of this year. Contrary to his last name though, Freese has been heating up […]

Taijuan Walker: MLB Prospects, Rookies & Call-Ups Evaluation

Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups Taijuan Walker finally made his long awaited 2014 debut. His debut in the Seattle Mariner's rotation this year hit a few road bumps early on, as the former first rounder from 2010 dealt with a shoulder injury to start the season before beginning the year in AAA. In 6 AAA starts, Walker worked […]

Below are some of my Week 15 picks for starting pitchers to consider streaming off the waiver wire. Some of […]

Getting A Grip: Waiver Wire Pickups for Holds (Week 15)

While the holds statistic is even harder to predict than saves for closers, the players we highlight today feature some sleeper setup men and some looking to reclaim glory they once had.

Dellin Betances (RP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues, All Keeper Leagues ANALYSIS: The Yankees' "Killer Bs" never amounted to anything as a starting pitching duo, but while Manny Banuelos has seen elbow trouble ruin his career, Dellin Betances has really come into his own as a set-up man. Standing at an intimidating 6' 8", Betances has […]
