Week 9 Waiver Wire: Catchers
It's officially June, which hopefully means some bats will start heating up soon. Right now it's pretty rough out there in catcher land. There's only one regular catcher with an average well above .300 - Wilson Ramos. Sure, there are a couple out there that are close, but it's still a rough situation for those who... Read More

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups For Week Nine (American League)
While doing research for this article, specifically Royals new third baseman Whit Merrifield, I remembered my AL-only league's waiver period was still open for a little longer and immediately made a claim.

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Catcher
It's kind of appropriate that it feels like summer as I write this today. The temperature's in the red and so are the ownership levels of catchers on Fleaflicker. Week Eight is not great.

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Outfield
It's already Week 8 of the MLB season and there aren't many on-the-fence guys left on the waiver wire, at least not in the outfield.

Week 8 Waiver Wire: First Base and Third Base
As the season progresses, it becomes simultaneously easier and harder to mine the waiver wire for production.

The usual caveats about sample size and arbitrary endpoints aside, using... Read More
