Jorge De La Rosa (SP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues, All NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Jorge De La Rosa is pitching very well recently, making him a very intriguing waiver wire pickup, and one of those starting pitcher sleepers that people aren't paying enough attention to. Currently he is only owned in 39% of Yahoo leagues, but holds a 3.66 ERA and 1.17 […]

Michael Saunders (OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Saunders has a 4 game hit streak going with 2 HR and 8 RBI during that span. On the season he has only 4 HR and 2 SB in 136 AB, which is not on pace with preseason hopes for him to be a potential 20-20 guy like he nearly […]

Conor Gillaspie (1B / 3B, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues for a Batting Average boost ANALYSIS: Simply put, Conor Gillaspie can rake. There have been only four games this season in which he did not have at least one base hit. Conor doesn't have enough plate appearances to quality for the batting title, but his .351 average is higher […]

Mark Reynolds (1B / 3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (if you're power starved) ANALYSIS: Mark Reynolds is one of the easiest pro ballplayers to predict the statistics for going into a season. If he is alotted 450-500 at-bats he has a chance to strikeout the most times in one season (a record he currently owns with 223). On the flip […]

Waiver Wire Starting Pitchers for ERA and WHIP

Ahhh, pitching. It can be a bit of a headache, that's for sure. What's the best way to manage your rotation for your fantasy league? Do you stream pitchers?

We are here to analyze each starting pitcher matchup for Week 10 of the MLB season, and help determine […]

Trevor Plouffe (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Plouffe is like a quad-A fantasy player. Good enough for all deep leagues, but not quite good enough for shallow leagues. While the batting average does not impress, he will pop a few homeruns for you and as the #3 hitter in a better-than-expected Twins lineup, he'll have plenty […]

Lorenzo Cain (OF, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Lorenzo Cain has underachieved for the past few seasons, even in 2012 when he got off to a good start but got hurt. Injuries have always seemed to bite him just as he was getting rolling.  In 2014 he is off to a great start, batting .339 with 18 RBI, […]

Week 10 Two-Start Streamers This weekly piece focuses on the best two-start pitchers and streamers for the following week of fantasy baseball.

Top 5 Hitter Streamers For Week 10: Waiver Wire Targets

  Week 10 Lineup Tools: Hitting Streamer Options It's hard to believe that the season is almost 2 months old to be honest. For many, myself included, it's been a tough two months as fantasy owners have watched lineup mainstays drop like flies due to injuries seemingly every day. In light of these numerous injuries, […]

Phil Hughes (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Filth Hughes is back!  Well, with the exception of one solid season in New York, he was barely ever "here" to begin with. Instead of saying he's back, we'll just say he has finally, after long last, arrived and found himself.  Hughes, a flyball pitcher who never had hope of […]

Oscar Taveras (OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: The moment we've been waiting for has finally arrived.  Prospectors waiting for the arrival of Oscar Taveras since his incredible 2012 minor league campaign had to suffer through an injury plagued 2013 and an overcrowded outfield in April-May of 2014.  There's finally a spot for Taveras and he'll make […]

Jaime Garcia (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Jaime Garcia has pitched very well since coming off the DL, and is someone that should be considered off the waiver wire in most fantasy baseball leagues (except for shallow formats). It seems like this guy is always one of those post-hype sleepers, but now that he's back and […]

Josh Willingham (OF / DH, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, All AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Willingham has now hit home runs in  back to back games, so he immediately becomes a speculative waiver wire pickup, especially if your team is looking for power sleepers to help beef up your HR and RBI stats. Injured for most of the year, Willingham has been […]

Denard Span (OF, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Denard Span has generally  been an undervalued fantasy baseball commodity over the past few MLB seasons. He has never been a guy who you can build your fantasy team around, nor will he ever be, but he can provide valuable help in stretches off the waiver wire with […]

Drew Stubbs (OF, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues, NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Drew Stubbs has been a very frustrating player over the past four seasons, and has tormented me more than once after drafting him or grabbing him off the waiver wire. He has such great talent, and has been on many people's list of sleepers, because in any season […]

Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups (AL Edition): Week 10

In this week's waiver wire installment, I will bring to your attention some young MLB players who have recently walked into some playing time, are making the most of it, and may be sleepers for deeper leagues like AL-Only formats depending on your league depth.

Getting A Grip: Waiver Wire Pickups for Holds

These Pitchers Can Help You In The Holds Category It's difficult to create a lineup that includes pitchers who can generate  holds since you need to try to determine if a pitcher will enter the game in the right situation. The players noted in this article feature some previously overlooked relievers who may be sleepers off the […]

Sean Doolittle (RP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Sean Doolittle is a relief pitcher that for the past few years I expected to take the closer role in Oakland and run away with it. He has the filthy stuff it takes to be the dominant late inning reliever he has shown flashes of, but sometimes seemed to throw a stinker in […]

Derek Jeter (NYY, SS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Only in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Jeter was once a player who provided his owners with a good average, 200+ hits, double digit homers, double digit steals, and good on base percentage.  Jeter has been one of the leagues best players for 15 years and has well earned his place in Cooperstown, but […]
