Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 5
I have been very neutral in both of the Bryce Harper debates that have gone on between this season and last season. Last season, people were saying that he was overrated and will never be a great hitter. I knew that was too harsh on him considering his youth and still blossoming career (he is younger […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week Six)
It finally happened. Noah Syndergaard was called up to the Majors. Mets’ right-hander Dillon Gee was placed on the DL with groin issues and the Mets decided to give his spot in the rotation to Noah Syndergaard. It isn’t very surprising. Steve Matz has looked impressive, but he doesn’t have the same level of upside. […]
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/11/15
Just a 10 game slate for May 11th, but with no day games scheduled there’s plenty of options for your FanDuel lineup. The pitching options – save for a really expensive Zack Greinke ($10,300) – are underwhelming to say the least. It’s not so much that the caliber of pitchers today are poor, it’s just […]
First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 6
Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season. This can be especially true at the infield corners, an area where the stars are readily scooped up and finding a low cost alternative can be often difficult. Here at RotoBaller, we're always looking […]
Kelly Johnson (OF/1B/3B, ATL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson was a revelation way back in 2010, hitting 26 homers, stealing 13 bases and posting an .865 OPS as a second baseman. He hasn’t been fantasy relevant since, but he’s tearing the cover off the ball right now. Over the last two weeks, […]
Mark Canha (1B/OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It took a while to make a splash at the show for Mark Canha but make no mistake he is here to stay. Canha is the type of guy to not only have on the field but in the locker room. […]
The Cut List, Week 5: Time to Let These Players Go
Welcome back to the Cut List, the place where I bitch and moan about my terrible fantasy team. Seriously, what is up with Carlos Gonzalez? My season is slipping away with every 0-for-4. So what do I do? I can't trade CarGo now, at his lowest value, so my only choice is to bench him and […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Five)
Kris Bryant hasn’t hit a home run yet. Just let that sink in for a moment. 14 games into his career and a big goose egg under the home run total. It will come eventually though, and many more will follow. For now, who is number one in the MLB ready prospect power ranking list […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 67% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While the batting average might be lagging behind the rest of his impressive statistics, Big Teix is back and finally fully healed from the wrist injury that has hampered his production over the last year.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/6/15
Another full slate of games on this Wednesday, including three early games (MIA v WAS ; ARI v COL ; SD v SF). We’ve got two aces on the mound (Scherzer, Sale) along with a steady amount of quality pitchers (Cole, deGrom, Lester, Carrasco). I’d recommend settling on one of the cheaper pitching options […]
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/5/15
Happy Cinco De Mayo! Also, sorry for laying a dud yesterday with two of the three offenses I suggested stacking. One due to postponement, the other due to the Yankees not figuring out R.A. Dickey. Everybody plays today and for that I am thankful. A chance for stacking redemption. These options are "like" - not […]

Mark Canha (1B/OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: Canha’s power is legit. He mashed 20 home runs last year in Triple-A with a .303/.384/.505 slash line, impressing the A’s brass enough to snag him from the Marlins in the Rule 5 draft. Thanks […]
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/4/15

Guys like Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez, Madison Bumgarner, Jordan Zimmermann, and Carlos Martinez all take the bump, and yet there are still a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Freshly activated off his recent DL stint and ready to make an impact in deep leagues is James Loney.
