Dillon Borgida - RotoBaller

52 articles

My imaginary best friends are Gilbert Arenas and B.J. Surhoff. I am from the outskirts of Washington DC but did not abandon the Orioles when that other team came in 2005. I'm so passionate about fantasy sports that they become real.

Kevin Jepsen (RP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jepsen has been getting the save opportunities for the Twins and at only 39% owned in fantasy leagues, is a nice waiver wire option to end the season.

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch for 8/27

While some MLB teams are fighting for playoff spots, others are just trying to wrap this season up.

Bruce Rondon (RP, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Just as it seemed like Rondon was locking in the closer role after two straight saves, he blew his most recent opportunity.

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch For 7/22/15

The All-Star break has come and gone and two of MLB's worst bullpens have attempted to address their needs in different ways. Moves are being made, and a man with 207 career saves is somehow a sneaky waiver wire pickup this week! The second half of the season has begun and now it's time for […]

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch For 6/26/15

As we get closer to All-Star break I'm hoping for some trades revolving closers to shake things up a bit. There are still some contending teams like the Jays and Diamondbacks in the market for a stable closer. It's likely a move will happen in the near future, so be sure to stay tuned for […]


MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch For 6/22/15

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch For 6/9

Most teams' bullpens are starting to take shape, meaning that you won't see many drastic changes unless there's an injury or an absolute implosion from the closer spot.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve touched on Smith and Rodney in the past. It may finally be time to just get rid of Rodney while you can.
