Austin Jackson (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting / Stash in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Jackson has had a disappointing first half in 2014, hitting just .244 with only 3 HR thus far. Coming off two seasons in which he hit .300 and .272, many fantasy owners had him on their list of pre-season sleepers, and expected him to produce nicely […]

DJ LeMahieu (2B / 3B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: DJ LeMahieu is a speedy middle infielder / corner infielder who plays for the Colorado Rockies. LeMahieu hasn't gotten all that much attention in fantasy leagues so far, and that's probably for good reason. He really hasn't been a plus producer so far this year. However […]

Adam Lind (1B / DH, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Edwin Encarnacion is headed to the DL with his strained quadriceps, and his estimated two-to-four week absence may be key to any playoff hopes that the Jays have. Adam Lind, Munenori Kawasaki and Juan Francisco will all be important in filling the holes left by both Brett […]

Jhonny Peralta (SS, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jhonny Peralta made the move from the enormous Comerica Park in Detroit, to the much more hitter-friendly Busch Stadium this season after signing with the Cardinals. As a result, his power numbers are better than they've been in recent seasons, and with his recent hot streak he is […]

David Freese (3B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: David Freese is probably most remembered for being the World Series hero for the Cardinals in 2011. However, after his trade to the Angels, he hasn't quite been the same player for most of this year. Contrary to his last name though, Freese has been heating up […]

Taijuan Walker: MLB Prospects, Rookies & Call-Ups Evaluation

Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups Taijuan Walker finally made his long awaited 2014 debut. His debut in the Seattle Mariner's rotation this year hit a few road bumps early on, as the former first rounder from 2010 dealt with a shoulder injury to start the season before beginning the year in AAA. In 6 AAA starts, Walker worked […]

Below are some of my Week 15 picks for starting pitchers to consider streaming off the waiver wire. Some of […]

Getting A Grip: Waiver Wire Pickups for Holds (Week 15)

Dellin Betances (RP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues, All Keeper Leagues ANALYSIS: The Yankees' "Killer Bs" never amounted to anything as a starting pitching duo, but while Manny Banuelos has seen elbow trouble ruin his career, Dellin Betances has really come into his own as a set-up man. Standing at an intimidating 6' 8", Betances has […]

Mike Leake (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake is quietly enjoying a very solid season in the shadow of Johnny Cueto. The win/loss record is not quite as impressive, currently at six wins and six losses, but there a plenty of reasons to be excited about the progress Leake has made […]

Mookie Betts: MLB Prospects, Rookies & Call-Ups Evaluation

Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups Mookie Betts made his major league debut recently after skyrocketing through the minors in early 2014.

Nick Castellanos (3B / OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The Tiger's rookie Nick Castellanos had a very rough start to the season, batting in the neighborhood of .220 for the first two months of the season. In fact, all non-keeper leagues where I owned him in I gave up on him because of the lack of every aspect of […]

Andre Ethier (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Andre Ethier has been a major first half player for the past eight seasons who totally drops off at the All-Star break. That has not been the case this season, as he has been awful so far and has only just started to make some gains in the end […]

Logan Forsythe (2B / 3B / SS / OF, TB) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only leagues / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS:  Left for dead just a few weeks ago, Logan Forsythe has been resurrected by the mad scientist Joe Maddon.  Well, kind of.  Since June 22, the Rays’ second baseman (with multi-position eligibility in certain leagues) has had seven multi-hit games including two three-hit games.  During […]

Marcus Stroman (SP / RP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Stroman pitched spectacularly getting a no decision Friday vs Tommy Milone and the Athletics.  The Blue Jays lost 1-0 in 12 innings, but it wasn't an fault of Stroman's. In his seventh start of his young career the 23 year old Duke product went seven shutout innings allowing […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitters to Buy and Sell for Week 15

Move over Billy Hamilton and Dee Gordon, there is another speedster at the show who has made quite an impact, Jose Altuve.  What a week Altuve had last week.  He had 10 SB to bring his total for the season to 37.  That total has already surpassed his total last year and he does not […]

Brad Boxberger (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Brad Boxberger has been one of the Rays' more dominant relief pitchers in 2014. He's having a breakout season, pitching to a 2.87 ERA with a.93 WHIP and an impressive 48:12 K:BB ratio in just 31.1 IP. His filthy strikeout stuff is well suited to the closer role, but Boxberger, with just […]

Clay Buchholz (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Clay Buchholz looked like his old self in his latest start Tuesday, giving up one earned run on five hits in 6.1 innings pitched. This coming a week after a dazzling debut after being activated from the disabled list, where he allowed three runs in the second […]

Logan Morrison (1B, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting, Add Only in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Logan Morrison showed a ton of promise as a 23-year-old in 2011, but has not quite lived up to the hype since, with 23 of his 46 career home runs coming in that 2011 campaign with the Marlins. The .242/.305/.411 triple slash line he is currently sporting […]

Brad Miller (2B / SS - SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Brad Miller has been hitting better in the month of June than he had to start the season, but that only means his average now sits slightly above the Mendoza line at .207. This would be a tolerable average to some if he hit for more power, stole more bases, […]

Kevin Kiermaier (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite seeing regular time in the lineup for the cellar dwelling Rays, Kevin Kiermaier is flying a bit under the radar while hammering his way through the last month, and is the most recent addition to our sleepers list. The rookie slugger has stepped up in a […]
