Billy Burns (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in most leagues OWNED IN: 30% of fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Billy Burns has one of the most fitting last names in baseball. It's like if Barry Bonds was named Barry Bombs. It is no secret that if you are looking into Billy Burns as a roster addition, you need stolen bases. On […]

Jayson Werth (OF,WSH) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Jayson Werth has reverted back to his 2012 ways, he is still a viable option for anyone in need of outfield help especially with the Nationals needing any and all help they can get. Yes, his season numbers have not […]

Grichuk (Elbow) Starts Wednesday, Bats Fifth

Randall Grichuk returns to the starting lineup for the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs, according to the Cardinals Twitter account.

Schwarber (Ribs) Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday: Plays LF, Bats 2nd

Kyle Schwarber will return to the lineup for the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to the Cubs Twitter account.

Minor League Spotlight: Top Hitting Prospects from Week 22

Top MLB Prospects to Pickup off the Waiver Wire in Week 23

Did you see that home run Kris Bryant hit?! That was a bomb! Any time a ball travels 495 feet, you know it was absolutely crushed. With the recent struggles of Pederson, it looks like Bryant is the most likely candidate to win Rookie of the Year. Noah Syndergaard and Randal Grichuk could make a […]

Chris Coghlan (OF / 2B, CHC) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy owners have overlooked Coghlan all season, but it's time for that to end. Since the break, the former Rookie of the Year has compiled an .812 OPS with seven homers, four steals, and 39 R+RBI in 42 games for the Cubs. He has […]

Mark Canha (OF / 1B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Athletics have had a historically unlucky campaign, but Canha is certainly finishing strong. Over the last month, he's hit .327/.367/.574 with five homers, 18 runs, and 22 RBI. He's been a streaky hitter all season, but the thing about streaky hitters is that […]

Stephen Piscotty (OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Though he's gone hitless in his last two games, the Cardinals rookie had hit safely in a dozen straight games before that. Half of those were multi-hit efforts. Piscotty has done nothing but hit since getting promoted to the majors in July, producing a […]

Jayson Werth (OF, WAS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a difficult season for Werth - and for many of his teammates - but he's shown signs of life in recent weeks. Thanks in part to a nine-game hitting streak that includes three homers, Werth has an .872 OPS over the last […]

Avisail Garcia (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Garcia is a player I've always been more bearish on than most, production is production. The White Sox right fielder has bounced back from a midsummer swoon and filled up the box score over the past month. He's posted a solid .274 average […]

Martin Prado (2B / 3B / OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: From a counting stats perspective, Martin Prado has been disappointing in 2015. When you really think about it though, he’s pretty much done as much as possible given his lineup. The Marlins have been without Giancarlo Stanton for quite some time, limiting Prado’s run-scoring and driving-in […]
