BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Avila has been en fuego over the past two weeks, with a .344/.400/1.025 triple-slash with 2 HR and 11 RBI in his last 29 at-bats. If you need a boost at your second catcher, or you own Yadier Molina and need a replacement, Avila is a good option […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (NL Only Must Add) ANALYSIS: We all know that this twitter machine monster has often tweeted better (and more) than he hit, but since his return from injury earlier in 2013, he is actually having a very nice campaign for the fish hitting .273 with 4 HR, 17 RBI […]
Full Story »Cody Ross (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. ANALYSIS: Cody Ross has been on a roll recently, and that's grabbed my attention. He's a streaky hitter, and when he heats up he can hit HRs in bunches. After a mediocre season, he may just be heating up now. Last night Ross went 4-for-5 with a HR, 3 […]
Full Story »Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis August 2: Greedy Boppers
There were homers galore on Thursday-- twenty-one to be exact. Some guys ONLY hit one, psshh, slackers. The following one-uppers went back for a second helping: Justin Upton topped off an 8-for-18 series against the Rockies with two moonshots for his 17th and 18th long-balls of the season. He’s been a sleeping giant since April. It seems the […]
Full Story »Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Lohse just somehow continues to get hitters out. He isn't doing it very sexily, as the strikeout rate is not what we'd like it to be, but he limits the walks and induces enough ground balls to keep the WHIP down nonetheless. He can be valuable as a […]

Full Story »Paul Konerko (1B, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Yes this is likely Pauly Konerko's (AKA The Small Hurt) swan song and yes he has been injured and largely ineffective all year, but this is exactly the time to buy in on a waiver wire add for a guy that is available in plenty of Yahoo leagues […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. ANALYSIS: Ernesto Frieri has had a rough stretch, with 2 losses and 3 blown saves since 7/19. He's also given up a ridiculous 7 ER in his last 2 2/3 IP.
