Full Story »Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Howard is a 6’4” 250 pound behemoth and blasted an average of 52 HR and 143 RBI from 2006-2009. Due to knee issues and his advancing age at 34, those days are far behind him. A year ago, Howard underwent surgery to repair a tear of the left […]
Full Story »Roenis Elias (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Roenis Elias continued his inconsistent June campaign Saturday, allowing five earned runs on six hits over six innings in a 5-0 loss to the Indians.

Full Story »Lucas Duda (1B / OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Right off the bat (no pun intended) I'll say Lucas Duda intrigues me. He has moderate power and can hit the ball as hard as any major leaguer, which we have known for a while. Duda has proven to be serviceable and for actual Met fans he has been pretty […]
Full Story »Yan Gomes (C, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Two Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Last year Yan Gomes was so good with the bat that the Indians felt comfortable moving Carlos Santana from behind the plate this year to make room for Gomes. Unfortunately, so far this year Gomes has responded by hitting .267/.311/.421 which is no better than OK for […]

Full Story »Dynasty League Quarterback Rankings: Top 15 for 2014
Flawed NFL Quarterbacks With Upside 15. Andy Dalton - If Jay Gruden had stayed, or if he didn’t put up a stink bomb in the playoffs for the third straight year, Dalton would be much higher on this list. With that said, he’s got a plethora of weapons on the field. The opportunity is there. […]
Full Story »Steve Pearce (1B / OF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce has already hit a career-high nine home runs-- before the all-star break. At age 31, it is unlikely that this is a sign of things to come for the eight-year veteran, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't ride the wave while he's hot. He hit a cool […]
Full Story »Drew Stubbs (OF, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Both Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer pulled their usual shenanigans of hitting the disabled list for an extended amount of time.

Full Story »Mike Zunino (C, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The Mariner's decided in spring training to give catcher Mike Zunino a chance to play and show why he was the top catching prospect in the minors last season. He has been just okay so far in 2014. Zunino has shown power and has looked eerily similar to his […]
Full Story »Chris Young (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Chris Young had been having an abysmal season before the past week in which he hit 3 HRs and 6 RBIs. The only person surprised with Chris Young's numbers was Sandy Alderson who felt the need to give him 7.5 million dollars. Everybody else realizes that this is the real Chris Young, […]
