Zach Britton (RP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (if you need saves) ANALYSIS: Zach Britton is in his first season as a reliever and has started off dominating the opposition in such a fashion that he has grown into the Baltimore closer job. In the past he was an underwhelming starting pitcher who lacked the ability to pitch through […]

Jake DeGrom (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues; Continue Scouting in Most ANALYSIS: Jake DeGrom has completely caught me by surprise so far. DeGrom was one of the Mets young hurlers to get a shot in the rotation when Gee went down with an injury and Mejia got bounced into the bullpen, and he has been a pleasant […]

Dayan Viciedo (OF, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: After hitting .348 in April, Dayan Viciedo's batting average has come down to earth in May. The man known as Tank is now slashing .283 on the season with 27 R, 5 HR & 20 RBI. The 25 year-old outfielder has tremendous power but has always been known as […]

Someone told me you're looking to add power to your fantasy roster. Who isn't?

I’m selling some heavy hitters and base stealers this week.  It’s not that these guys have performed poorly, but they all have issues glaring fantasy owners in the face.  The good news is that they all of them still have value and you can sell for some really nice value that will help out that […]

The 2014 MLB season is just past the quarter point, and as the season wears on, injuries usually start to play a factor.

Rafael Montero (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting, Add in NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Rafael Montero has been a favorite prospect of mine since he showed us a sub 3.00 ERA last season while racking up 150 strikeouts in the minor leagues. Montero has plenty of upside for fantasy baseball, and is one in a list of potential rookie sleepers for […]

Drew Pomeranz (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Drew Pomeranz was a very highly regarded prospect going into the 2012 season, some had him on their list of fantasy baseball sleepers, but he let down in 2012 and 2013 in Colorado. So with that in mind I wrote Pomeranz off for 2013, as did most owners. But he […]

Roenis Elias (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Roenis Elias, the rookie left handed starting pitcher out of Cuba, has done a respectable job in his first 11 starts making him a waiver wire option to consider.  His 7.89 K/9 is 4th amongst all rookie pitchers with at least 10 starts, adding him to the list […]

Gordon Beckham (2B, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Formats ANALYSIS: Gordon Beckham seems to have found his form with the White Sox this season. The sure-handed second baseman is one of this year's post-hype sleepers, and has hit safely in 19 of his last 21 games and in each of the last eight, making him a waiver wire pickup […]

Checking in with the Los Angeles Dodgers: Late May Update

It has been an eventful couple of weeks in Dodgertown, as they got back franchise player Clayton Kershaw, saw their multi million dollar investment (Alex Guerrero) get a piece of his ear bitten off during a minor league contest by one of his own teammates (Miguel Olivo), and watched their bullpen continue to struggle, at […]

Bronson Arroyo (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL only and deeper leagues ANALYSIS: Much like the rest of his career, Arroyo continues to puzzle fantasy owners with his hot and cold streaks.  This season, the velocity on his fastball is down a bit, his changeup has gotten quicker and he's been relying on his sinker a lot more. […]

Brian Roberts (2B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Not only is Brian Roberts an injury liability- he has yet to play more than 77 games in a season since 2009- but he has been mediocre at best this season with 2 HR, 11 RBI, 20 R, a .241 AVG and .311 OBP.  Including his 2-for-5 "breakout" performance in last […]

Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups (NL Edition): Week 9

It's hard to believe that Memorial Day has already come and gone. For many, the day signifies the unofficial beginning of summer, but for fantasy baseball owners it signifies the first "mile marker," so to speak, to gauge what their players are doing. In other words, while there still is plenty of time left for underachieving players […]

Chris Owings (SS, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues, Continue Scouting In Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into 2014, it was unclear whether Didi Gregorius was still going to be the starting shortstop for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was flawed against left handed pitching and not overwhelming with the bat in general. In came charging was Chris Owings, a […]

Alex Avila (C, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues, AL-Only Leagues (if you're desperate) ANALYSIS: Let's be very honest here for a second - Alex Avila hasn't done squat to warrant him a good fantasy baseball reputation, or a waiver wire pickup, since his one outlier season in 2011 when he hit .295 with 19 HR and 82 runs […]

Kolten Wong (2B, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Wong has 4 SB and 5 Runs and is 10 for his last 27 since he's been recalled.  He is hitting like the Cardinals expected him to when they handed him the 2B gig out of the gate in 2014.  Wong is setting the table in the Cardinals lineup and […]

Rougned Odor (2B, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Rougned Odor is a name to be monitoring on the waiver wire for deeper leagues. The recent news of Jurickson Profar's injury setback could be opening up long term playing time and value for Odor this season, and hitting in Texas never hurts. So far in 40 at […]

Garret Jones (OF / 1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Jones has been scorching over the past couple weeks and is 8 for his last 19 with 2 HR and 6 RBI.  He has been steadily producing even after many of his detractors have said he'll fade away.  He plays in a better than expected lineup in Miami, and as […]
