Alex Guerrero (2B/3B/OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed and NL-Only Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: After Sunday’s game, manager Don Mattingly said that Alex Guerrero will see some time in left field, which is not his natural position. It’s the old baseball adage—if you can hit, they’ll find a place in the field for you. […]

The 2015 season is well underway, but it’s never too early to start trying to improve your team. Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. These players are usually widely available in any format, and should […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilmer Flores was a guy I was touting back when I wrote about three shortstops who should outperform their average draft position, and he’s beginning to make me feel pretty good about including him in that piece. Like Flores, the season is still […]

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, […]

Ball Street: Roto Never Sleeps - MLB Recap Featuring Butler, Utley, Fiers, Machado, Betts, Travis and More

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Devon Travis is the truth. I loved this guy coming into the season after he was named the starting second baseman in Toronto, and my opinion hasn’t changed at all. An injury to Jose Reyes has afforded Travis an opportunity to hit from the […]

Week 3 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball

It's Week 3 and the stars are just beginning to align in the cosmos of the MLB. Injuries are rampant, waiver wires are scarce and Nelson Cruz home runs are abundant.

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s about time Jose Altuve got a bit of help in the Astros lineup. Eventually George Springer will get going and find his niche once again, which lies in the form of eye-opening power. But until he gets hot, Luis Valbuena is virtually the only […]

MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Lucroy, Zobrist, Jansen, d'Arnaud, Mesoraco and More

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner. They're the little “what if” clauses hanging over every fantasy season - that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to […]

Waiver Wire Pickups At Second Base And Shortstop For Week Three

The 2015 season is well underway, but it’s never too early to start trying to improve your team. Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team off the waiver wire. These players are usually widely available in […]

Alex Guerrero (LAD, 2B/3B/OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only and Deeper Leagues Immediately; Scout in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 6% in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At first glance Alex Guerrero’s numbers are gaudy. A .385/.357/.923 slash line is nothing to sneeze at, unless of course one does not understand how a player’s OBP can be lower than his AVG. His […]

Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Hot Hitters to Trade For

This week’s edition of the RotoBaller Stock Watch takes a look at five hitters, whom some fantasy owners shied away from this offseason for a variety of reasons, but have so far impressed through the early part of the season.

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 […]

Week 2 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball

It's officially week two and there are plenty of ill-founded assumptions being made based on small sample sizes. Adrian Gonzalez is going to hit 130 HR this year! Exciting stuff.

Marcus Semien (2B/3B/SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Semien, 24, shortstop, is hoping that there’s no place like home. Not only is the Oakland Athletics giving him a chance to play the position he’s played since tee-ball, but he’s getting the chance to do it in his hometown. In two seasons […]
