Mark Teixeira (1B/DH, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 62% Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Historically, Mark Teixeira starts his seasons terribly until he turns it on and doesn't look back. This season has been different despite a .242 BA. Teixeira, 35, is one off the MLB lead in HR with eight in the young season. He’s also among […]

It's Week 4 of the 2015 MLB season and you need to make some moves.

Yonder Alonso (1B, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I bet a lot of people would be surprised to find out Yonder Alonso is hitting .379 this season.

Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's face the facts. Ryan Howard will never be the fantasy star that he once was, or hit 40+ home runs again. But he is the quintessential power hitter, which means he'll do about 80% of […]

The Cut List: Time to Let These Players Go?

Welcome to The Cut List, the place where everyone comes to cut the cheese. This week, we will be talking about Mozzarella, Muenster and my personal favorite old cheese, LaTroy Hawkins. If you were unfortunate/dumb enough to draft him, you deserved it. But if you are getting naked for saves like a stripper for dollar bills, […]

First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week Four

Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season.

Ike Davis (1B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Another forgotten player this year is Oakland A’s first baseman Ike Davis.

Brock Holt, (1B/2B/SS/3B/OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues If Brock Holt had an everyday job, he’d be a must add. The combination of speed, batting average, and positional flexibility he offers is hard to find in today’s game. He’s still useful even in his current role, however. As the Red […]

Kendrys Morales (1B/DH, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kendrys Morales entered 2015 looking to remind the baseball world of why people used to be so afraid of his bat. So far he’s done so. Morales has been huge for the surging Royals, hitting over .400 with two home runs, nine runs scored, and […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep / AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: When the New York Yankees traded for Chase Headley in 2014, they saw an immediate solution to the gap left by Alex Rodriguez at 3B. Even with the return of Rodriguez, Headley made clear in his 58 game stint with the […]

Mark Canha (1B/OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: The Athletics were set on platooning Mark Canha with fellow first baseman Ike Davis, with the former only starting against left-handed pitchers. However, Canha is off to a hot start and has found some extra playing time in the outfield, as well. He has at least one hit in […]
