MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 3

Week 3 saw some surprising disappointments and some surprising great performances. It's already been a season of rising and falling, and we're still more than a week away from May. We've already had a manager get fired, closers lose their jobs, and other closers get sometimes-dreaded votes of confidence from their managers. It's been a […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Corner Store is open! Primary shoppers: Eugenio Suarez owners, Greg Bird owners, Jake Lamb owners, Wil Myers owners, Justin Turner owners, Josh Harrison owners, Anthony Rizzo owners, Nolan Arenado owners, and Josh Donaldson owners. Injuries are one of the biggest cause for concern of most fantasy managers to start the season. However, it is not the […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire - Outfielders (OF)

With half of April in the books, some trends are starting to emerge. We finally have enough data to start to assess if areas of statistical interest are real or mirages. Players with hot two or three game stretches are starting to peter out or at least normalize, but there is still a lot of […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 3

We are now on to Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season and the picture is getting clearer, in regards to streaming options. Last week, we separated the streamers by fantasy sites (Yahoo and Fantrax). This time, and probably for the foreseeable future, we’ll focus on the ownership percentage in two additional categories: below 50 […]

How Superior Setup Men Provide Value to Closers - NL Focus

The era of the home run has been a bit of a double-edged sword for fantasy owners. On the one hand, the bench bat drafted in the 27th round can emerge as a 20+ HR hitter, adding value from an unexpected source. On the other side, pitcher ERAs are up, and the value of the […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire - Catchers

It's ugly out there on the catcher landscape. The drop-off of player ownership goes from Jonathan Lucroy at 70%... which is still well above the 50% Yahoo! ownership cutoff that we use for these waiver wire columns... to Austin Barnes at 38%. That is one heck of a drop-off. It's like going into a neighborhood […]
