BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Formats OWNED IN: 58% of Yahoo Leagues, 33% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson Ramos is hitting seventh in one of the leagues better lineups.

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DeScalfani was a sleeper among select fantasy pundits entering 2015 after a strong spring.

Daniel Norris (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Gotta love the man in the van.

Odubel Herrera (2B/SS/OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Herrera has a chance to score some runs and steal a few bags, especially when manager Ryne Sandberg slots him at the top of the order. Just 23 years old, Herrera was only the second Phillies player in the last 45 years to make […]

James Paxton (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no reason Paxton should be so widely available in ESPN and Fleaflicker leagues.

Aaron Harang (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Someone who might be useful in deeper fantasy leagues this year is Aaron Harang. Harang was beat up most of spring training and has yet to produce an ERA of less than 3.57 in his career. However, throughout his last start against the Red Sox, […]

Brandon Phillips (2B, CIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: ESPN 39.9% owned, Yahoo 38% owned, 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Up until last season, Phillips had eight straight years of 17 or more home runs. Owners are certainly hoping that last year's eight home runs were an anomaly, and that he can rebound in 2015. He still was able […]

BALLER MOVE: Roster immediately as DL slot OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone’s favorite platoon catcher was recently placed on the 15-day disabled list after sliding in to second base head first.
