Nick Castellanos (3B / OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The Tiger's rookie Nick Castellanos had a very rough start to the season, batting in the neighborhood of .220 for the first two months of the season. In fact, all non-keeper leagues where I owned him in I gave up on him because of the lack of every aspect of […]

Andre Ethier (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Andre Ethier has been a major first half player for the past eight seasons who totally drops off at the All-Star break. That has not been the case this season, as he has been awful so far and has only just started to make some gains in the end […]

Logan Forsythe (2B / 3B / SS / OF, TB) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only leagues / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS:  Left for dead just a few weeks ago, Logan Forsythe has been resurrected by the mad scientist Joe Maddon.  Well, kind of.  Since June 22, the Rays’ second baseman (with multi-position eligibility in certain leagues) has had seven multi-hit games including two three-hit games.  During […]

Marcus Stroman (SP / RP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Stroman pitched spectacularly getting a no decision Friday vs Tommy Milone and the Athletics.  The Blue Jays lost 1-0 in 12 innings, but it wasn't an fault of Stroman's. In his seventh start of his young career the 23 year old Duke product went seven shutout innings allowing […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitters to Buy and Sell for Week 15

Move over Billy Hamilton and Dee Gordon, there is another speedster at the show who has made quite an impact, Jose Altuve.  What a week Altuve had last week.  He had 10 SB to bring his total for the season to 37.  That total has already surpassed his total last year and he does not […]

Brad Boxberger (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Brad Boxberger has been one of the Rays' more dominant relief pitchers in 2014. He's having a breakout season, pitching to a 2.87 ERA with a.93 WHIP and an impressive 48:12 K:BB ratio in just 31.1 IP. His filthy strikeout stuff is well suited to the closer role, but Boxberger, with just […]

Clay Buchholz (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Clay Buchholz looked like his old self in his latest start Tuesday, giving up one earned run on five hits in 6.1 innings pitched. This coming a week after a dazzling debut after being activated from the disabled list, where he allowed three runs in the second […]

Logan Morrison (1B, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting, Add Only in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Logan Morrison showed a ton of promise as a 23-year-old in 2011, but has not quite lived up to the hype since, with 23 of his 46 career home runs coming in that 2011 campaign with the Marlins. The .242/.305/.411 triple slash line he is currently sporting […]

Brad Miller (2B / SS - SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Brad Miller has been hitting better in the month of June than he had to start the season, but that only means his average now sits slightly above the Mendoza line at .207. This would be a tolerable average to some if he hit for more power, stole more bases, […]

Kevin Kiermaier (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite seeing regular time in the lineup for the cellar dwelling Rays, Kevin Kiermaier is flying a bit under the radar while hammering his way through the last month, and is the most recent addition to our sleepers list. The rookie slugger has stepped up in a […]

Zach Putnam (RP, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (that value saves) ANALYSIS: With the news that Ronald Belisario was officially removed from the closer's role, Zach Putnam becomes the most recent addition to our list of saves sleepers to target off the waiver wire. While it hasn't been officially stated that Putnam is the new team closer, he looks like the favorite and is […]

Travis d'Arnaud (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Travis d'Arnaud of the New York Mets had an abysmal season up until June when the team decided to demote him to AAA Las Vegas. While in Las Vegas, he got some of his swagger back and began raking. Granted, Las Vegas is a hitter's league, but when your hitting […]

Marlon Byrd (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Marlon Byrd had one of the best seasons among outfielders who don't get much recognition last year when he hit 24 home runs, 88 RBIs, and scored 75 times all while batting .291. This year he is on the dreadful 2014 version of the Phillies but he's doing his […]

Omar Infante (2B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Considering how many questions per week I seem to get about the 2nd base position, I'm surprised Omar Infante's ownership tag currently sits at 19% in Yahoo! I realize that 2nd base is deeper than a lot expected this year, but Infante does have 7 RBIs, 5 runs […]

Collin McHugh (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Only Add in Very Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Up until his recent 3 HR, 5 ER mini-blowup vs. the Mariners, Collin McHugh was enjoying a very nice 2014 campaign, with a 2.86 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP.  He had been rather unimpressive in his first two partial seasons. In fact, he was terrible: 8.94 ERA, 1.80 […]

Santiago Casilla (RP, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: With the recent news that the struggling Sergio Romo has been removed from the closer's role, Santiago Casilla becomes an immediate addition to our waiver wire sleepers list for saves. Bruce Bochy stated that Casilla and Jeremy Affeldt would form a committee, but we prefer Casilla is the better option […]

Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Howard is a 6’4” 250 pound behemoth and blasted an average of 52 HR and 143 RBI from 2006-2009. Due to knee issues and his advancing age at 34, those days are far behind him. A year ago, Howard underwent surgery to repair a tear of the left […]

Roenis Elias (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Roenis Elias continued his inconsistent June campaign Saturday, allowing five earned runs on six hits over six innings in a 5-0 loss to the Indians. He has three quality starts in six games started this month, leaving fantasy owners quite confused. Despite being a surprise pick for […]

Lucas Duda (1B / OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Right off the bat (no pun intended) I'll say Lucas Duda intrigues me. He has moderate power and can hit the ball as hard as any major leaguer, which we have known for a while. Duda has proven to be serviceable and for actual Met fans he has been pretty […]
