Waiver Wire Pickups At Second Base And Shortstop For Week Four

The 2015 season is well underway, but it’s never too early to start trying to improve your team. Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should […]

Wilmer Flores (SS/2B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilmer Flores was a guy I was touting back when I wrote about three shortstops who should outperform their average draft position, and he’s beginning to make me feel pretty good about including him in that piece. Like Flores, the season is still […]

The Cut List: Time to Let These Players Go?

Welcome to The Cut List, the place where everyone comes to cut the cheese. This week, we will be talking about Mozzarella, Muenster and my personal favorite old cheese, LaTroy Hawkins. If you were unfortunate/dumb enough to draft him, you deserved it. But if you are getting naked for saves like a stripper for dollar bills, […]

Ball Street: Roto Never Sleeps - MLB Recap Featuring Butler, Utley, Fiers, Machado, Betts, Travis and More

With week 3 coming to a close, let's recap some players whose stocks might be rising or falling. Now that we're almost through April, we're developing a decent sample size so we can start to see who might be for real and who we should cut. Stats current as of 9am, 4/24/2015     MLB […]

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Devon Travis is the truth. I loved this guy coming into the season after he was named the starting second baseman in Toronto, and my opinion hasn’t changed at all. An injury to Jose Reyes has afforded Travis an opportunity to hit from the […]

Week 3 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball

It's Week 3 and the stars are just beginning to align in the cosmos of the MLB. Injuries are rampant, waiver wires are scarce and Nelson Cruz home runs are abundant. Fantasy owners everywhere are vigorously trying to gain an edge quickly and enjoy early season success. But remember; baseball is a marathon, not a […]

Luis Valbuena (2B/3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s about time Jose Altuve got a bit of help in the Astros lineup. Eventually George Springer will get going and find his niche once again, which lies in the form of eye-opening power. But until he gets hot, Luis Valbuena is virtually the only […]

MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Lucroy, Zobrist, Jansen, d'Arnaud, Mesoraco and More

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner. They're the little “what if” clauses hanging over every fantasy season - that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to […]

Waiver Wire Pickups At Second Base And Shortstop For Week Three

The 2015 season is well underway, but it’s never too early to start trying to improve your team. Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team off the waiver wire. These players are usually widely available in […]

Alex Guerrero (LAD, 2B/3B/OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only and Deeper Leagues Immediately; Scout in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 6% in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At first glance Alex Guerrero’s numbers are gaudy. A .385/.357/.923 slash line is nothing to sneeze at, unless of course one does not understand how a player’s OBP can be lower than his AVG. His […]

Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Hot Hitters to Trade For

This week’s edition of the RotoBaller Stock Watch takes a look at five hitters, whom some fantasy owners shied away from this offseason for a variety of reasons, but have so far impressed through the early part of the season. All five are owned in virtually every league, but with their stock on the rise, […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire: AL Edition (Flaherty, Young, O'Day)

Hey RotoBallers. Welcome to my Week 3 rundown of valuable waiver wire options for AL-Only fantasy baseball leagues. It's always a challenge to stay ahead of the curve in deeper fantasy formats, so it is important to know which players are performing well.

Minor Leagues Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 2

This past week saw several top prospects get the call up to the Majors.

Below are my top MLB hitter streamer options for Week 3 of fantasy baseball. All players listed here are under 50% owned in Yahoo leagues and play seven games this week. Streaming hitters is a great way to increase production and fantasy stats off the waiver wire for your head-to-head matchups, or if you're dealing […]

Brock Holt, (1B/2B/SS/3B/OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues If Brock Holt had an everyday job, he’d be a must add. The combination of speed, batting average, and positional flexibility he offers is hard to find in today’s game. He’s still useful even in his current role, however. As the Red […]

Waiver Wire Pickups At Second Base And Shortstop For Week Two

And we’re back! The 2015 season is just getting underway, but it’s never too early to start trying to improve your team.

Week 2 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball

It's officially week two and there are plenty of ill-founded assumptions being made based on small sample sizes. Adrian Gonzalez is going to hit 130 HR this year! Exciting stuff. While everyone else is making hasty decisions based on week 1 performances, you can take the high road and make informed decisions derived from early […]

Marcus Semien (2B/3B/SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien, 24, shortstop, is hoping that there’s no place like home. Not only is the Oakland Athletics giving him a chance to play the position he’s played since tee-ball, but he’s getting the chance to do it in his hometown. In two seasons […]

MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Gomes, Rios, Calhoun, Felix, Alvarez and More

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner. They're the little “what if” clauses hanging over every fantasy season - that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Miller made quite an impression on fantasy owners as a rookie in 2013. In 76 games, he posted a .265-8-36-41-5 line. The only question heading into last season was whether or not he’d beat out Nick Franklin for the starting job […]

Odubel Herrera (2B/SS/OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Herrera has a chance to score some runs and steal a few bags, especially when manager Ryne Sandberg slots him at the top of the order. Just 23 years old, Herrera was only the second Phillies player in the last 45 years to make […]

Brandon Phillips (2B, CIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: ESPN 39.9% owned, Yahoo 38% owned, 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Up until last season, Phillips had eight straight years of 17 or more home runs. Owners are certainly hoping that last year's eight home runs were an anomaly, and that he can rebound in 2015. He still was able […]

Jace Peterson (2B, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Jace Peterson, who was acquired by the Braves in the Justin Upton deal, was probably a lock to be the starting second baseman since day one of Spring Training. Not one to leave things to chance, he made sure his performance in the Grapefruit League erased any doubt Fredi Gonzalez may have had by hitting .321 over 68 […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week One)

To be clear, this list is not the top 30 prospects in baseball. This is a list of the top 30 prospects who are likely going to rise to the major leagues and provide fantasy baseball value this season. The qualifications are simple: a player must not be on an active roster, they must have a […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Herrera, Peterson, Lamb)

Here we are, just a few short days into the season. The injury bug has already bitten and the hot stove has decided to burn past winter's end (see: Kimbrel, Craig). It's exciting stuff, so long as none of it has decimated your roster. You may have a few slots to fill already. That's okay. […]
