Mike Moustakas (3B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: How is Mike Moustakas only owned in 25% of Yahoo leagues? We understand that he got off to a very slow start this year, but he is one of those post-hype sleepers that should be added off the waiver wire now. Today he went yard again, hitting his second HR […]

Martin Perez (SP, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: The Texas Rangers' number-two starter Martin Perez should avoid the dreaded sophomore slump this year, and should also be added off the waiver wire.

Kevin Kouzmanoff (3B, TEX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Kouzmanoff got his chance at third base when starter Adrian Beltre went on the DL, and he has made the most of the opportunity: 2 HR, 10 RBIs, 8 Runs and a .361 BA in only 13 games. This makes him an interesting waiver wire name to […]

Justin Morneau (1B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Morneau is off to a torrid start in 2014, hitting .344 as of 4/22.  Calling him a waiver wire pickup is a bit of a stretch, given his current ownership numbers, but regardless if he's still available on your league waiver wire add him asap. Unlike most Rockie hitters, […]

Wily Peralta (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Wily Peralta is still only owned in 36% of Yahoo leagues, which is just way too low.

Michael Brantley (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately ANALYSIS: Given that Michael Brantley is already 68% owned in Yahoo leagues, its a bit of a stretch to call him a waiver wire pickup.

Tyler Lyons (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Lyons pitched well today against the Mets, filling in for an injured Joe Kelly. In 6 IP, he racked up 7 K with only 2 ER, but also had 4 BB.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Earlier today the Mets announced that Jose Valverde is being removed from the closers role, after a few brutal outings, and Kyle Farnsworth will be replacing him.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jesse Chavez has become a starting pitcher revelation for both the Oakland As and fantasy baseball owners, as one of those relatively unknown sleepers to emerge off the waiver wire.  Injuries to both Jarrod Parker and A.J.
