Wilmer Flores (3B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: One thing worth noting about Wilmer Flores: he is currently listed at 3B because that is where he played last year. But he will gain position eligibility for SS pretty quick, and maybe gain eligibility at 2B too. Flores has hit .300 or better in the minors each […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Adam Lind has had good years, where he was a hot add off the waiver wire, and he's had bad years where he's been dropped to the waiver wire. At his worst in 2010, he hit just .237 with an OPS .712. There was still some […]

Brayan Pena (C, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues and Two Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Brayan who? He's the guy filling in for Devin Mesoraco while he's on the DL. Pena has batted .313 (10-for-32) over the last two weeks with 3 HR and 6 RBI. With Jay Bruce and Mesoraco out and Brandon Phillips still floundering, as long as […]

Omar Infante (2B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (when he returns) ANALYSIS: It can sometimes be hard to find offensive production at the 2B position. Let's face it: the position just isn't very deep. For that reason, Infante's .267/.325/.391 is enticing. Infante also has 2 HR and 19 RBI already this season, which makes him a better-than-average option […]

Marlon Byrd (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Marlon Byrd is one of those players that seems to go largely unnoticed in fantasy because, with the exception of 2013, he has never been an exciting player. Additonally he is now 36 years old. On the other hand Byrd is coming off a career year where he […]

Juan Uribe (3B, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Uribe has somewhat cooled since his hot start to the year, but that shouldn't deter you from adding him off the wavier wire as your second option at third base, or starting him at the UTIL position.  Uribe is one of those sleepers that people are hesitant to pickup, yet […]

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scout; Strictly a Streamer ANALYSIS: Collin McHugh surprised the fantasy world with a fantastic first two starts for the Astros this year.

Henderson Alvarez (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only leagues ANALYSIS: Will the real Henderson Alvarez please stand up?  One start he's giving up 3 HR to Atlanta then the next start he's pitching a complete game shutout.  There's nothing fantasy baseball owners loathe more than inconsistent starting pitchers, so it's best to stay away from Alvarez.  His 2.6 K/BB […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Garrett Jones is not a flashy exciting player with a lot of potential. We've seen the best that Jones can be in 2012 when he hit .274 with 27 HR and 86 RBI. Or perhaps in 2009 when he hit 21 HR in just 82 games. Either way, Garrett Jones […]

Rick Porcello (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: For the last few years, Tigers fans have been waiting for a breakout season from Rick Porcello. It looks like this might be the year.

Rajai Davis (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis is off to a scorching start for Detroit this year. In years past, Davis' value has come strictly on the basepaths. While he is still a speed demon (11 steals in 13 attempts), he has been far from a one-trick pony up to this point. His slash line […]
