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

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.

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.
