Three Up, Three Down: Home Run Outliers to Buy or Sell

A huge key to having success at the game of fantasy baseball is being able to spot outliers. The game of baseball, more than most other sports, is largely dictated by randomness, at least over the short term.

Hunter Renfroe (OF, BOS) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Renfroe has gained quite a reputation for being an all-or-nothing type of fantasy player.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's contest at Triple-A Reno.
