Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 19

If you read last week’s corner infield pickups column, you know how incredulous I was that Miguel Sano, Maikel Franco, and Jung Ho Kang were all available in more than 50 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues  OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Howie Kendrick on the disabled list, Kike Hernandez has proved why he should be the starter at second base instead of Alex Guerrero.

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Yoenis Cespedes, Jose Reyes, and Cole Hamels

The July 31st non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone, resulting in a good deal of moves that make little sense. Why did the Mets spend solid prospects on a one year rental that is showing all of the signs of a lucky season? Why is Jose Reyes a Colorado Rockie? Why did the Texas […]
