Wilmer Flores (SS/2B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Flores is the latest in a long line of sub-par Met shortstops. He’s actually been pretty good at the plate, tagging five homers with double-digits in runs and RBIs. His batting average leaves a lot to be desired, but I expect that […]

Luis Valbuena (2B/3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Valbuena has the opposite strengths of Forsythe. He’s clubbed eight homers so far in the young season to go along with 14 RBIs and 19 runs scored. However, he’s flirting with a .200 average. While it’ll get a bit better, I’d be shocked […]

Logan Forsythe (1B/2B/3B, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Forsythe is surprisingly the best hitter on a surprisingly good team right now. I had the Rays pegged dead last for the AL East this year, but they’re playing some good ball right now, and Forsythe has been a big part of […]

Aaron Hill (2B/3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Hill probably wan’t one of the names you expected (or wanted) to see on here, but hear me out before scrolling down. He’s owned in less than 10 percent of most leagues, he’s got eligibility at second and third base, he’s […]

Delino DeShields Jr. (2B/OF, TEX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DeShields isn’t going to maintain an average around .300 or a .400+ OBP for much longer. That said, he’s filling up the box score on a nightly basis for the Rangers, who quite frankly deserve a positive fluke with how the last […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/18/15

For the first time this season, today's slate truly feels like slim pickins. Only 14 teams take the field today, and with six of the seven games taking place at night. I'm going to ignore the one day game to help make building a roster a less time sensitive thing. I figured you'd understand. Editor’s […]

Logan Forsythe (2B, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues Owned In: 22.6% of ESPN leagues ANALYSIS: Logan Forsythe has surprisingly been the best hitter on a surprisingly good team right now. I had the Rays pegged dead last for the AL East this year, but they’re playing some good ball right now, and Forsythe has been a big […]

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. […]
