Jhonny Peralta (SS, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jhonny Peralta made the move from the enormous Comerica Park in Detroit, to the much more hitter-friendly Busch Stadium this season after signing with the Cardinals. As a result, his power numbers are better than they've been in recent seasons, and with his recent hot streak he is […]
Derek Norris (C, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: The catcher position is one that is relatively thin when it comes to offensive production. In many cases, Derek Norris is probably an upgrade over your current catcher. He's slashing .302/.405/.509 in 59 games so far this season with 8 HR and 35 RBI, a more-than-respectable state line […]
Drew Smyly (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first year in the rotation, Drew Smyly is performing quite nicely. Even though he's the Tigers' fifth starter, Smyly's numbers indicate that he's actually the third best man in the rotation behind Sanchez and Scherzer. His 3.19 ERA and 1.26 WHIP are more than respectable, and he has a […]
Waiver Wire Starting Pitchers for ERA and WHIP
Ahhh, pitching. It can be a bit of a headache, that's for sure. What's the best way to manage your rotation for your fantasy league? Do you stream pitchers? Do you carry more pitchers than position players? How many relievers do you carry? What can you do to make your pitching staff better than it […]
Waiver Wire Pickups for Home Runs & RBIs
Someone told me you're looking to add power to your fantasy roster. Who isn't? Problem is, adding power off the waiver wire can be tricky sometimes, especially in deeper leagues like NL-Only and AL-Only formats. But I have good news for you. I've found four guys you may be able to add today in many fantasy leagues, […]
Omar Infante (2B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (when he returns) ANALYSIS: It can sometimes be hard to find offensive production at the 2B position. Let's face it: the position just isn't very deep. For that reason, Infante's .267/.325/.391 is enticing. Infante also has 2 HR and 19 RBI already this season, which makes him a better-than-average option […]
Rick Porcello (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: For the last few years, Tigers fans have been waiting for a breakout season from Rick Porcello. It looks like this might be the year. Porcello, a ground-ball pitcher, is off to a 4-1 start for Detroit with a 3.66 ERA. After a strong outing against Kansas City, […]
Rajai Davis (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis is off to a scorching start for Detroit this year. In years past, Davis' value has come strictly on the basepaths. While he is still a speed demon (11 steals in 13 attempts), he has been far from a one-trick pony up to this point. His slash line […]
Kelly Johnson (1B / 2B / 3B / OF, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. ANALYSIS: Kelly Johnson is a jack of all trades for the Yankees this season and has position eligibility at 1B, 2B, 3B, and OF in Yahoo! Leagues. Johnson's early productivity makes him worthy of a roster spot in most (if not all) leagues. Through 47 AB for the Bombers […]
Mark Reynolds (1B / 3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting; Consider Adding in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Reynolds is off to a decent start in the HR category as he already has three long balls through fourteen games. The days of Reynolds' 40+ (or even 30+) homers are likely in the past, and Reynolds is notorious for his high strikeout rate […]
Eric Young Jr. (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Young was off to a slow start at the plate, slashing a measly .154/.233/.192 through his first 30 plate appearances before Thursday night. At Turner Field, Young went 4-for-5 with 4 Runs score and 3 SB - for a player like him this is the equivalent of a […]

Whether you're playing in a roto league or head-to-head, there is no underestimating the value of having home run hitters on your team. But who will be the top producers in the HR category in the […]
Detroit Tigers Hot Stove (Part 2): MLB News & Fantasy Baseball Analysis
2014 Detroit Tigers - Team Preview In this MLB offseason, perhaps the team that has undergone the most drastic change has been the Detroit Tigers. In years past, Dave Dombrowski has looked to bolster his team through the addition big-name free agents. This year? Not as much. Through trades and smaller signings, Detroit has […]
