1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

Welcome to the fantasy playoffs. They are like the real life playoffs in that only a select number of teams in the league get to participate.

Recent Velocity Decliners - Arms To Abandon

We are about to turn the calendar to September, which means that a lot of the league's starting pitchers have gone through a five-month slog putting a ton of work on their throwing arms.
