Ronny Rodriguez (1B/2B/3B/SS, DET) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Ronny Rodriguez's true talent level reflected in his current .305/.344/.644 line? Absolutely not, but that doesn't mean he can't be useful to your fantasy squad. Even after this hot streak peters out, the 27-year-old may have some sneaky value in deep and AL-only […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the Toronto Blue Jays called up Eric Sogard to the big leagues, he's done nothing but produce. In his 18 games since April 16, he's hit .328 with four homers, 12 runs, 12 RBI, and two stolen bases. The Jays have […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 7

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube (hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones. I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 7

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Jonathan Villar Continues To Slump In May

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar went 1-for-5 with a double and three strikeouts in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Angels.

Addison Russell is Sitting Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Dee Gordon Won't Play on Saturday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Shed Long will make his Major League debut on Saturday.

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 7

Welcome to the RotoBaller waiver wire column which falls in-line with most fantasy “who should I pick up?” articles with a skew towards points leagues. Yes, there is positive correlation to standard 5x5 scoring but in our format, specific categories matter less and the accumulation of total stats is the ultimate objective. Some stats are […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 7 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]
