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. […]

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 […]

Jarred Cosart (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Jarred Cosart is a real-deal kind of sleeper talent that is simply festering on an MLB team that barely gets any media, or fantasy baseball, attention. Heading into the 2014 campaign, the Astros former #1 pitching prospect showed some nice ability in his first cup of coffee in 2013, posting a 1.95 […]

Casey McGehee (3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ll start off by saying Casey McGehee will not be any threat to the front-end Third Basemen, this will just be about his ability to play for your fantasy team as opposed to the average 3B. Let’s call it fantasy WAR. The 31 Year Old McGahee has had […]

The Sunday Streamer: Matchup Plays for End of the Week

  MLB Roundup & Fantasy Analysis from April 3rd's Action The Marlins, yes those Marlins, in that ridiculous stadium with 20 foot walls and fishtanks and the obscure statue in centerfield...they are 3-1.

Javier Baez (SS, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues Analysis: Let me begin with stating this: Baez will be fantasy gold, it's just a matter of when. He has a ton of power, solid plate discipline, and plays a premium position. The Cubs have already spoke to Castro about moving from shortstop to open up a spot for Baez, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Miguel Montero is currently owned in only about 50% of all leagues.  This is alarming low, given the fact that he hits in the middle of a powerful Diamondbacks lineup, and the hot start he's gotten off to. He has started 5 of the first 6 games, hitting in […]

Marlon Byrd (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Journeyman outfielder Marlon Byrd is coming off his best season since 2007.  Playing for the Mets and Pirates last year, Byrd managed to hit 24 HR and drive in 88 runs.  He is off to a hot 2014 with 5 hits in his first 13 AB’s (.385 AVG) including a […]

Chris Owings (SS, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Chris Owings is the most popular option for owners who left the draft without a quality bat at shortstop. The main reason he went largely undrafted was because he was in a position battle with Didi Gregarious, but he came out on top and has the bat to stay […]
