Top 5 Hitter Streamers & Waiver Wire Targets For Week 22

Depending on the league you play in, your fantasy season may be almost over at this point in the year. Especially if you play in any sort of format involving a playoff bracket, this could very well be the last week that you have to make a difference before the playoff spots are determined. That […]

Fantasy Baseball Stars on the DL: Who to Keep, Who to Dump

With the fantasy playoffs right around the corner, there seems to be an abundance of star power sitting on your DL. The recent news of Andrew McCutchen, Gerrit Cole and Wil Myers coming off the disabled list is surely encouraging, but there are still plenty of guys you might be stashing, hoping they'll be your […]

There is room enough for me to love both fantasy football and fantasy baseball at the same time - that's what we're here for. The march to the fantasy baseball playoffs and fantasy championships continues. Either you're in the thick of the race, or hopefully you're […]

Michael Morse (1B / OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Morse is having a solid year at the dish, and his power numbers should be enticing for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, especially given the flexibility offered by Morse's multi-position eligibility. Playing 1B and OF for the Giants this year, Morse is slashing .286/.341/.487 with 16 HR and […]

Chris Carter (OF/1B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Chris Carter has gone yard again today... twice. He's also sprinkled in 5 RBIs, and it's only the 5th inning! This man is white hot, and on an absolute tear, making him the most recent addition to our waiver wire sleepers list, and a must-add in all fantasy baseball leagues […]

Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In the last seven days, LaRoche has been very strong at the plate putting up ten hits in 26 AB, three of which were doubles, along with 7 runs, 3 HR and 4 RBI while taking five walks. His batting average over the last week has been .385, which is fantastic and […]

Mark Reynolds (1B / 3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Very Deep Leagues For Power Boost ANALYSIS: This isn't the same Mark Reynolds who hit 44 bombs back in 2009, but he can still drive the ball out of the park. However, that's about where his fantasy appeal ends. He hasn't posted a batting average over .240 since his breakout 2009 […]

Tommy Medica (1B / OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep 5 OF Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start with the obvious: Tommy Medica is not sexy, as he plays for the worst offensive team in the MLB in the worst offensive park in the MLB.  That's a tough combo to overcome. But he's actually put up somewhat respectable numbers and he is definitely […]

Jon Singleton (1B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Jon Singleton was scuffling for a long time and saw his average dip all the way to .174 as recently as 10 games ago, which is pretty gross and entirely unrosterable in every non-keeper league.  But he's found his stroke recently, and has collected two multi-hit games over his […]

Ike Davis (1B, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Ignore In All But Deepest Mixed and NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: The Ike Davis that hit 32 round-trippers in 2012 has ceased to exist ever since. With only 16 homers in 580 at-bats since his breakout 2012 campaign, Davis has cemented himself as a platoon hitter with no real fantasy value in all but […]

Fantasy Baseball Buy / Sell: Hitters To Target In Week 18

Like last week, now is make it or break it time in fantasy baseball. Making drastic and questionable changes to your team is now necessary if you are far behind in the standings. Trading your big name for two or three solid contributors can make a huge impact. Also, continuing to hold on to your […]

Lucas Duda (1B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Lucas Duda, the Mets' first baseman, is enjoying by far the best season of his career. With the 16 home runs, he has already surpassed his previous career high of 15. His 51 RBIs is just shy of his career-high 57 set in 2012, and he needs just two more runs […]

Fantasy Baseball Buy Low / Sell High: Hitters Week 17

We are now entering the post-All Star Game portion of the fantasy season.  My biggest takeaway from the game itself was how bad Yasiel Puig choked in not JUST the game, but the Home Run Derby, too.  Poor guy. We should all know by now whether our teams need true adjustment or if it'll be […]

Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

It’s another look at the deepest of the deep waiver wire pickups. In our newest trash-to-treasure edition, we have some hot sleeper pitchers and a young prospect coming off injury. I hope you find some sleeper hitters worth salvaging from the bottom of the pile.   James Loney - 1B, TB Owned in 19% of […]

Chris Carter (1B / OF / DH, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper / AL-Only Leagues (if looking for power) ANALYSIS: Chris Carter broke out with the A's in 2012, belting 16 home runs in just over 200 at-bats as a 25-year old, and was on some fantasy baseball sleepers lists after that. Despite hitting only .239, he found ways to get on-base, and […]

Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

The 2014 MLB season has reached the All-Star break, and while a few days off gives the players time to regroup and recharge, it also offers fantasy owners a chance to do the same. With a couple of days off before games resume, there is no better time to take a closer look at your […]

Stephen Vogt (C / OF / 1B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All AL-Only & 2-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Billy Beane's swiss army knife Stephen Vogt has been quietly tearing the cover off the ball the past few weeks, making him the most recent addition to our waiver wire sleepers list. We'll get into the stats shortly, but here's the most important thing to […]

Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

There really aren't any new sleepers on this week's list of waiver wire pickups and the corner infield spots, but there are several familiar faces that I have mentioned throughout the year that continue to make a case to be owned in a variety of fantasy formats. Granted, we are getting to the point in […]

Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Since 2008, Adam LaRoche has 25 or more homers in every year except 2011 - and he was hurt that year. So what is LaRoche doing being owned in only 66 % of Yahoo-leagues? That is just craziness, and he could even be labeled right now as […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Howard is a 6’4” 250 pound behemoth and blasted an average of 52 HR and 143 RBI from 2006-2009. Due to knee issues and his advancing age at 34, those days are far behind him. A year ago, Howard underwent surgery to repair a tear of the left […]

Lucas Duda (1B / OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Right off the bat (no pun intended) I'll say Lucas Duda intrigues me. He has moderate power and can hit the ball as hard as any major leaguer, which we have known for a while. Duda has proven to be serviceable and for actual Met fans he has been pretty […]

Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 14 Sleepers

Among the deep league options this week are four interesting starting pitchers. Some of these starting pitcher sleepers are vets putting together decent stretches, while others are potential front line starters establishing themselves. I hope that you are able to find something to your liking that can give you an edge on the competition.   Lucas Duda - […]

Steve Pearce (1B / OF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce has already hit a career-high nine home runs-- before the all-star break. At age 31, it is unlikely that this is a sign of things to come for the eight-year veteran, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't ride the wave while he's hot. He hit a cool […]

Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

When it comes to the success of a particular player, the right opportunity can be just as important as the player's individual talent. When looking at this week's list of pickups at the corner infield spots, many of the players are taking advantage of the first regular playing time of their careers to put up […]

Corey Hart (1B / OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (when activated) ANALYSIS: After a hot start, knocking out four home runs and posting a .234/.337/.453 slash line in April, Corey Hart fell into a slump in May, with only one home run and a .172/.243/.234 slash line before landing on the disabled list. Hart is a proven power […]

C.J. Cron (1B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the release of Raul Ibanez, C.J. Cron has been lighting it up by going 9 for 21 with 5 home runs and 7 RBIs, including a pair of dingers last night. Cron has big time power as evidenced by his minor league numbers in which he reached 27 homers […]
