Kris Humphries (PF/C, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 4.1% of ESPN Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you’re thinking, this must have been a typo right? Nope, in fact, I can’t come up with a reason why he shouldn’t be rostered in all leagues. It hasn’t been made official yet, but I have a very […]
Meyers Leonard (PF/C, POR) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 30.5% of ESPN Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Meyers Leonard has been a pretty hot name this off season in the fantasy basketball world, but it looks like a lot of owners got cold feet when it came to actually drafting him. I actually own him in the RotoBaller […]
John Henson (PF/C, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add for Blocks or Rebounds OWNED: 20% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS:This is more of a situational pick up. If you are thin in the Forward/ Center department I would definitely suggest taking a look at John Henson. Although last year his minutes were extremely inconsistent, the Bucks signed him to a lucrative contract this summer […]
Robin Lopez (C, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
Definitely not the sexiest name in fantasy basketball, but don’t sleep on Robin Lopez as a potential key piece to more than a few winning fantasy rosters this season. Players like Robin Lopez are perfect to round out any roster and add a significant amount of consistency. I expect Robin Lopez to duplicate his 2013-14 […]

Dioner Navarro said he’s open to returning with the Toronto Blue Jays for the 2016 season. The 31-year-old catcher will be a free agent after this season.

As many of you all may remember, during the regular season I discussed which Top 30 prospects would have the biggest impact for fantasy owners during the regular season.

Twins Pursuing Pierzynski For 2016
The Minnesota Twins are “expected to look to bring back” A.J. Pierzynski for the 2016 season. The veteran catcher had an amazing season for a 38-year-old catcher. Pierzynski finished the 2015 season with a .300/.339/.430 batting line with 9 HR and 49 RBI over 113 games for the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta could look to re-sign […]
Roy Hibbert (C, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
It seems like forever since the former All-Star has been an exciting fantasy player to own – but this preseason Hibbert has looked rejuvenated. He has been rebounding the ball at a tremendous rate for the Lakers – averaging 10.4 rebounds in just 25.3 minutes. Minutes should not be an issue as Hibbert, as the […]
The Portland Trailblazers - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
When Lamarcus Aldridge left Portland this summer, many people probably dismissed the entire Trailblazers team for fantasy purposes. That would be a mistake. Although the loss will hurt the actual team, it may be a huge blessing for the remaining players on the team in terms of fantasy value. Along with Aldridge, they also lose Wes […]
Ryan Anderson (PF/C, NO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
Watch out for Ryan Anderson this year. He’s had injuries and struggled to start over the past few seasons, but as a PF who has shown he can shoot over 40% from the three-point line on high volume, he is a valuable commodity for any NBA team. He should especially do well in Alvin Gentry’s […]
Tyson Chandler (C, PHO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
Chandler’s reputation has suffered from a down year with the Knicks. But who can really blame him, really. The 2013-2014 Knicks were a disaster, and only look respectable in comparison to the absolute catastrophe that was the 2014-2015 season. Tyson turned it around once he was traded back to Dallas where he won his only […]
Euro 2016 - The Playoff Picture

Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part IV: Peoria Javelinas
Given the performance of the teams supplying the Javelinas, one would think that there would be great talent on this team. Alas, that is not to be the case. While the Atlanta Braves have provided quality to this club, they are just about the only ones. The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres foolishly thought that they […]
Molina (Thumb) Not In Cards Game 4 Lineup
Yadier Molina is not in the St. Louis Cardinals starting lineup for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Molina was set to be in the lineup, but Cardinals manager Mike Matheny decided to sit the 33-year-old because of the ongoing pain in his thumb. Tony Cruz will get his first […]
