Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS:  After his killer 2012 campaign with the Cardinals that saw him put up career numbers, Lohse followed it up in 2013 with solid numbers: 11 Wins with 5.7 K/9, 3.35 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP.  Now at 35, Lohse has not shown any signs of slowing down (with […]

Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: A spark plug of a player, Gennett is well on his way to being a fan favorite in Milwaukee.   The Brewers are anxious to see if he can keep putting it together over a full season and hold down the 2B job.  So far the results have been favorable, off to a […]

5 Setup Men: Waiver Wire Pickups for Holds Leagues

The Holds statistic is a very difficult statistic to rely on. Specialist relievers who get one batter out can earn a hold, and so can an eighth inning setup man expected to be the final part of the bridge to a win. There are a lot of different relievers that will earn holds for a […]

Charlie Morton (SP, PIT) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting; 2-Start Stream this Week ANALYSIS: Charlie Morton (6% ownership) had a no decision in his 2014 debut against the Chicago Cubs.  He pitched 6 innings, allowing 4 hits and striking out 6. Coming off a solid 2013 where he used a change in his arm slot to much success, Morton looks to build upon […]

Félix Doubront (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting; Add in AL-Only leagues ANALYSIS: Félix Doubront can be a useful pitcher in the right format. With a superb offense and an above average defense behind him, he is one of those sleepers that can pick up some wins for you. And he's shown the potential to be an above average strikeout […]

Early Season Waiver Wire and Trade Targets: Players to Pickup & Ignore

  Early Season Fast Starts: Who's For Real? It’s always a fun exercise to extrapolate 5 or 6 games of stats across 162: I loved Trumbo coming into the season, but 80 homers seems a little aggressive, and fresh off a season in Japan, I’ll take the under on 270 RBI from Casey McGehee. The […]

MLB Fantasy Baseball DFS Fanduel Lineup Picks for 4/8

Quick Notes Charlie Morton is a decent pitcher overall. Nonetheless, he’s got the highest wOBA against vs. LHH (.390) over the last three seasons amongst starting pitchers. Over that span, left-handers are hitting .326 AVG/.429 OBP/.455 SLG against him. Vegas expects far more runs in the CWS vs. COL game than in any other matchup. […]

Jonathan Broxton (RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonathan Broxton was not a name I even expected to mention this MLB season. But with the early injury to incumbent closer Chapman, and the floundering of Hoover, Broxton will take over the closer duties once he is activated from the DL tomorrow. Broxton throws hard and gets a lot of […]

Shawn Kelley (RP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: The Yankees places their closer David Robertson on the DL today, and Shawn Kelley got the save against the Orioles. If Kelley is available in your league, he should be picked up off the waiver wire immediately. He looks to be the fill-in closer for the Yankees and will get the […]

Nate Eovaldi (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Eovaldi is a sneaky pickup for owners who like to stream starting pitchers, but even though he is a Marlin, he does in fact hold value. Two starts into the 2014 Eovaldi has struck out 14 batters over 13 innings which is a huge improvement from his 2013 numbers. […]

Cody Asche (3B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting; Add in NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Asche is off to a nice start for the Phillies, batting .250 with 1 HR, 2 RBI and 4 Runs over 4 games.  After three solid minor league seasons at the plate, the 23 year old has established himself as the starter at third base.  Proceed with caution […]

Erick Aybar (SS, ANA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Aybar’s value would be higher if he were batting at the top of the lineup instead of near the bottom.  It would give him extra at bats and more opportunities to score runs behind a powerful offense.  Mike Scioscia has decided on Kole Calhoun as the leadoff man because of […]
