Jeremy Hefner (SP, NYM)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Hefner is only 15% owned in Yahoo! leagues, and that's got to be because he plays for the Mets. With a name like Hefner you'd think he'd get a little more attention. If not the name, maybe his past 6 starts will catch your eye: 37 IP, 29:8 […]

Josh Reddick (OF, OAK)

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Those of you who persevered through the bad times are finally, at long last, being rewarded with some quality production from Reddick. Those of you who dropped him, well, go pick him up, right now! Reddick is 5-for-12 over his past 3 games with 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, […]

Jeremy Hellickson (SP, TB)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Hellickson is one of the saber community's perennial overrated players because of his seemingly never ending BABIP luck. Well everyone should take note of Hellickson's past two starts: 13 IP, 15:3 K:BB ratio, 2 ER, 2 Ws. He has been nasty, and he is striking out a ton […]

Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL)

Lohse had a great outing Wednesday night, going 8 IP with 7 Ks while picking up the W and allowing just 1 ER and 5 baserunners. He's turned his season around and with his exceptional control he now has a 3.43 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He's far from a strikeout machine, but his ratios make […]

Chris Carter (1B, OF, HOU)

Carter had a monster game Wednesday night, going 2-for-4 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs. The inconsistent slugger has 17 HRs and 44 RBIs on the year, but he's towing along a .231 BA with those nice power numbers. He's a decent deep league option, but you have to be patient with him and wait […]

Cody Ross (OF, ARI)

Ross has heated up with 2 HR and 4 RBIs over his last 3 games. He had 22 HR and 81 RBIs last year in just 476 ABs, so we know he's capable of hitting for solid power. Ross plays his games in a great hitters park and sees bad pitchers in his division for […]

Ricky Nolasco (SP, MIA)

Looks like Nolasco has been motivated by the swirling trade rumors surrounding him. He went 7 IP Wednesday night with 7 Ks while allowing just 2 ER on 6 baserunners. Nolasco is a very inconsistent pitcher but he does have a somewhat decent 3.85 ERA and 1.22 WHIP on the year. His 90:26 K:BB ratio […]

Randall Delgado (SP, ARI)

Delgado has been very solid since getting the call to be Arizona's 5th starter, and his high-upside profile should have you paying attention now. He hasn't allowed more than 3 ER in 5 starts, and has a 25:4 K:BB ratio in 27 IP over that span. He had his strongest outing yet on Wednesday going […]

Scott Feldman (SP, BAL)

Feldman has slowed down a lot since his hot start, but he had a great debut on Wednesday night for the Orioles. He went 6 IP with a 6:0 K:BB ratio, just 6 hits and 2 ER allowed and the W. He regressed bigtime in June after a ridiculous May, but he's still a nice […]

Johnny Giavotella (2B, KC)

Giavotella was raking in the minors and is being given a real shot to hold down the 2B job in KC. He's off to a nice start with 3 hits in his first 7 ABs. He's worth adding in very deep leagues if your 2B / MI situation is in big trouble. Otherwise just keep […]

Nick Franklin (2B, SS, SEA)

Franklin has a nice stat line in just 117 ABs: .299-4-15-13-5, which would put him on pace for a 20-20 season with nice production and a great BA. He's been shadily consistent and solid and deserves to be owned in much more than 40% of leagues.

Rickie Weeks (2B, MIL)

Weeks is batting .310 with 4 HR over the past 2 weeks. He's 64% owned right now in Yahoo! leagues and that will continue to rise as he puts his cold start behind him. He has potential to produce like a top-5 2B for a couple months at a time, and if you snag him […]

Ichiro Suzuki (OF, NYY)

Ichrio's numbers on the year are still worse than ugly, but over his last 10 he has 2 HR, 4 RBIs, 6 Runs, 2 SBs, and 12 Hits. Very solid for a 4th or 5th OF. When he arrived in New York last year he was fantastic, and his game has picked up of late. […]

Kendrys Morales (1B, SEA)

Morales is owned in 51% of leagues, but his .282-11-48 line on the year means he's underowned. He has 8 hits in his last 4 games and he hit 2 HRs and 6 RBIs on Tuesday night. If you need some decent pop from your 1B or CI, Morales is a nice addition.

Paul Konerko (1B, CHW)

Konerko really does look his age this year. Even his back is going out on him. Despite the fact the White Sox won't trade him, Konerko isn't doing much to even generate interest from other teams. His .249-7-30 line on the year means that at 55% owned, he's highly overowned. Leave him for the deepest […]

Scott Kazmir (SP, CLE)

Kazmir continues to defy his doubters by going 14 IP with an 11:1 K:BB ratio and just 1 ER allowed in his past 2 starts. He will absolutely get blown up here and there, but he's a fine addition in deep leagues if you need the K help and can stomach the occasional shellacking.

Jayson Werth (OF, WAS)

Werth has been really hot recently, racking up 5 Runs and 6 RBIs over his past 3 games with 2 2Bs and a HR. Bryce Harper has given the Nats' offense a boost and Werth will be one of many beneficiaries. Pick him up if you need OF help as he's only 51% owned right […]

Colby Rasmus (OF, TOR)

For a player with 15 HR and 42 RBIs over 271 ABs to only be owned in 26% of leagues, well, it tells you there's a nice opportunity there. If you can withstand Rasmus's putrid cold stretches, you'll be rewarded with nice short bursts of enormous production. He's a must-own in leagues with 4-5 OFs, […]

John Lackey (SP, BOS)

How on earth is John Lackey owned in just 55% of Yahoo! leagues. In short, the guy has pitched like an ACE since joining the Sox rotation. He hasn't allowed more than 2 ER in his last 4 starts, he has a 79:18 K:BB ratio over 86.1 IP, and he has been utterly dominant at […]

Brandon Beachy (SP, ATL)

Unless only 36% of you play with DL-slots, it's not understandable why Beachy isn't more owned in Yahoo! leagues. He's been a dominant pitcher whenever he's been healthy, and he's about to begin a rehab assignment. Expect him back by the end of June.

Adam Laroche (1B, WAS)

Just as we predicted, Laroche snapped out of his funk with 2 HR over the past 5 days. Once the calendar turns to July, Laroche is a top-10 1B - if you endured the wait to this point, you can finally reap some rewards. At only 63% owned, he's available in more leagues than he […]

Jhoulys Chacin (SP, COL)

Chacin is flying under the radar at 23% owned despite a relatively decent fantasy campaign thus far. Spectacular in April, the righthander struggled throughout May and into June, but he has righted the ship lately with three strong outings that have seen him allow just two earned runs over 23.2 innings with a ridiculous 18 […]

Andrew Cashner (SP, SD)

Cashner has been pitching well, but his Ks are well down from the elite numbers he put up last year. His ERA and WHIP sit at a solid 3.31 and 1.17, but his 62 Ks in 92.1 IP make it tough to own him outside of deeper formats.

Stephen Fife (SP, LAD)

The 6% owned Fife hasn't allowed more than 3 ER in his first 6 starts of the year, and has a 35:11 K:BB ratio over 41.1 IP in that timeframe. Consistency is hard to come by with young pitchers, and Fife also pitches for a hot LAD team in a great pitchers park. He's a […]

Matt Adams (1B, STL)

Adams is healthy and hit 2 HRs on the 29th. Even more important, he's getting enough starts to be super-deep leauge relevant. He's only 4% owned right now, and as long as you play in daily leagues where you can check the STL lineup each day, Adams will be a productive player to have on […]

Eric Hosmer (1B, KC)

Ever since George Brett was named the Royals' hitting coach, Hosmer has turned it on at the plate. He's looking like the hitter that everyone wanted him to be for the past couple years. With 3 HR in his last 3 games, even the power is coming back. His production has been high quality in […]

Rajai Davis (OF, TOR)

Rajai has 5 SBs over his past 3 games. He's starting regularly for the Jays and he is also scoring runs. What else do you need to know? If you need speed, grab him.

Alfonso Soriano (OF, CHC)

Surprisingly, Soriano is only owned in 46% of leagues. That is sure to go up after his recent stretch. He's got 9 hits, 2 HR and 5 RBIs over his past 5 games. Soriano is a very streak player in his old age, so if you have room for him make the move while he's […]

J.J. Putz (RP, SEA)

Putz was activated from the disabled list. He's been fine in rehab, and ARZ will be glad to get him back as Heath Bell was falling apart recently. Putz should resume closing nearly immediately so if you need saves, he's a great add.

Bruce Rondon (RP, DET)

He's baaack! The Tigers bullpen has been a mess all year. Rondon, the 'closer of the future' has been called up once and demoted a few days later. He is definitely a work in progress and Leyland went on record Friday and said Rondon will not be used to close games. Not yet. There is […]
