Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Marcell Ozuna was a popular target in fantasy drafts last year after hitting 23 homers in 2014.

Derek Dietrich (2B/3B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Dee Gordon suspended, Derek Dietrich has been handed the starting job at second base.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Martin Prado isn’t going to hit .400 all season. We all know better than that. But he is a career .293 hitter and routinely one of the most difficult hitters in baseball to strike out. Reliable sources of batting average are […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire: Catchers

The first month of the season is usually filled with oddities. I'm not talking weather-related ones where it still feels like winter in May.
