Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Hitters to Buy and Sell for Week 15
Move over Billy Hamilton and Dee Gordon, there is another speedster at the show who has made quite an impact, Jose Altuve. What a week Altuve had last week. He had 10 SB to bring his total for the season to 37. That total has already surpassed his total last year and he does not […]
Full Story »Brad Boxberger (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Brad Boxberger has been one of the Rays' more dominant relief pitchers in 2014. He's having a breakout season, pitching to a 2.87 ERA with a.93 WHIP and an impressive 48:12 K:BB ratio in just 31.1 IP. His filthy strikeout stuff is well suited to the closer role, but Boxberger, with just […]

Full Story »Logan Morrison (1B, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting, Add Only in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Logan Morrison showed a ton of promise as a 23-year-old in 2011, but has not quite lived up to the hype since, with 23 of his 46 career home runs coming in that 2011 campaign with the Marlins. The .242/.305/.411 triple slash line he is currently sporting […]
Full Story »Brad Miller (2B / SS - SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Brad Miller has been hitting better in the month of June than he had to start the season, but that only means his average now sits slightly above the Mendoza line at .207. This would be a tolerable average to some if he hit for more power, stole more bases, […]
Full Story »Kevin Kiermaier (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite seeing regular time in the lineup for the cellar dwelling Rays, Kevin Kiermaier is flying a bit under the radar while hammering his way through the last month, and is the most recent addition to our sleepers list.

Full Story »Travis d'Arnaud (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Travis d'Arnaud of the New York Mets had an abysmal season up until June when the team decided to demote him to AAA Las Vegas. While in Las Vegas, he got some of his swagger back and began raking. Granted, Las Vegas is a hitter's league, but when your hitting […]
Full Story »Marlon Byrd (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Marlon Byrd had one of the best seasons among outfielders who don't get much recognition last year when he hit 24 home runs, 88 RBIs, and scored 75 times all while batting .291. This year he is on the dreadful 2014 version of the Phillies but he's doing his […]
Full Story »Omar Infante (2B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

I realize that 2nd base is deeper than a lot expected this year, but Infante does have 7 RBIs, 5 runs […]
Full Story »Collin McHugh (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Only Add in Very Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Up until his recent 3 HR, 5 ER mini-blowup vs. the Mariners, Collin McHugh was enjoying a very nice 2014 campaign, with a 2.86 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP.
