Gordon Beckham (2B/3B, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In a utility role for the Braves, Gordon Beckham has been producing well above his career averages in almost every offensive category. He's currently hitting .303 with 12 runs and 15 RBI in just 104 plate appearances, and given the lack of talent […]

Trea Turner (2B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s very possible that Trea Turner will be called up within the next week, because in order for the Nationals to obtain another year of control, he had to stay in the minors until May 30. Turner has been absolutely destroying Triple-A pitching this […]

Chris Owings (2B/SS/OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Super-utility man Chris Owings has been filling in in the outfield since A.J. Pollock's injury, and he should continue to collect at-bats with David Peralta also sidelined with a wrist issue. Owings hit .350 over the last week to bring his average up […]

Johnny Giavotella (2B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Besides Mike Trout and Kole Calhoun, someone on the Angels has to hit, right? Johnny Giavotella has been terrific for the Angels over the last couple weeks, going 19-for-52 with eight runs and eight RBI. While it's true that the Angels were considering […]

Eduardo Nunez (SS/3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only league OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Too many fantasy owners are asleep at the wheel if Eduardo Nunez is still just incredibly under-owned. He's gotten off to a blistering start in 2016, hitting .320 with 16 R, 17 RBI, three jacks and eight stolen bases. Nunez is locked in as […]

Danny Santana (SS/OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only league OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Danny Santana has been bringing up the rear in the Minnesota lineup, but he's there to act as a second lead-off hitter more than anything. He's been contributing in multiple categories lately -- hitting .302 with six runs, six RBI and four steals in […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire: Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should turn nice profits in the weeks to come. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire: Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Brad Miller (SS/OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brad Miller got off to a terrible start early in April, but he's really turned things around in the last two weeks. Over his last 15 games, Miller has hit .361 with three homers, and he should start scoring more runs […]

Jose Ramirez (2B/SS/3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jose Ramirez, the Indians' nine-hitter, has been playing left field and third base, and he should occasionally spell Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor in the middle infield slots. He's been hot to begin the season, hitting .310 with 12 RBI, and […]

Danny Santana (OF/SS, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Since returning from a hamstring injury on April 25, Danny Santana has been muy caliente. With Byron Buxton demoted due to lack of production, Santana should have the center field gig to himself, for the most part. This will most certainly be the […]

Ketel Marte (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Following a horrendous start to the season, Ketel Marte has begun to look more like the multi-talented shortstop prospect that most people hoped he would be when they drafted him. In his last 15 games, he's hitting .333 with 15 hits […]

Martin Prado (3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Martin Prado led the Majors in hits last week, with 15 across 28 AB. He now owns a .410 batting average, the best in the league. Prado has very little pop and he's never been a prolific base-stealer, but he's going […]

Brett Lawrie (2B/3B, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brett Lawrie is on an absolute tear at the moment. In his last 15 games, he's hitting .294 with seven RBI and 10 runs scored. While he goes down swinging a ton, if you're in a league that doesn't count strikeouts, he's been […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire: Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should turn nice profits in the weeks to come. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly […]

April's Avengers: The Best Through Four Weeks, & Their Superhero Alter Egos

Marvel's Captain America: Civil War comes out in just a week after building hype for the better part of a year. I figured this would act as a good basis for a recap article of the first month of the fantasy baseball season. Here I'll outline some of April's best and which superhero they compare to. […]

Chris Owings (SS/OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Owings has been the main beneficiary of the A.J. Pollock injury, as he's seen plenty of starts in center field (although he is an infielder normally). While not the greatest outfielder, he's done a decent job at the plate with […]

Eduardo Nunez (SS/3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eduardo Nunez is red-hot right now, as he's hitting .404 with eight runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases over 47 AB. The Twins certainly won't keep his bat on the bench when it's this hot, and given that Trevor Plouffe […]

Jed Lowrie (2B/SS/3B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jed Lowrie has been juggled back and forth between Oakland and Houston over the last few years, and 2016 finds him in the meat of the Athletics’ batting order. He's put that position to good use so far, tallying 10 RBI and […]

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While Devon Travis won't be back with the Jays until at least May, I'm writing about him again this week because if you don't grab him now, you likely won't get him. The rookie second baseman was forced to end his […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire: Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should turn nice profits in the weeks to come. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly […]

Asdrubal Cabrera (SS, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is not the All-Star Asdrubal Cabrera of 2011. As one of the top young shortstops in the game, Cabrera slugged 25 homers and swiped 17 bags for the Indians. He is, however, still a very serviceable fantasy asset. Cabrera has […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Mixed Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien had his power stroke going last week, clubbing three homers in just 18 at-bats. While you can't expect that kind of production every week, you can expect him to be a 20/10 guy batting second lead-off (the nine hole) for the Athletics. Semien […]

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While Devon Travis won't be back with the Jays until at least May, if you don't grab him now, you likely won't get him. The rookie second baseman was forced to end his season early thanks to shoulder problems that sprang […]
