Dexter Fowler (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Dexter Fowler has had a wishy-washy season, to say the least.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Daily Lineups Leagues (12+ Teams) ANALYSIS:  Viciedo has flashed some very solid power for stretches so far during the 2014 season, delivering on the promise showed by his six opposite-field homers in 2013.  At just 25 years old, Viciedo's power continues to grow, and he is on pace to hit 20 […]

Michael Morse (1B / OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Morse is having a solid year at the dish, and his power numbers should be enticing for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, especially given the flexibility offered by Morse's multi-position eligibility.

Dustin Ackley (2B / OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Very Deep Mixed and AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Since his rookie season in 2011, Dustin Ackley has done nothing but disappoint Mariners fans and fantasy owners.

Chris Carter (OF/1B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep 5 OF Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start with the obvious: Tommy Medica is not sexy, as he plays for the worst offensive team in the MLB in the worst offensive park in the MLB.  That's a tough combo to overcome.

Denard Span (OF, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Denard Span is the 3rd ranked player in Yahoo! over the last two weeks, but he's still only owned in 54% of leagues.  Since it's August, you know his ownership % is simply a result of many owners being out of contention and not paying attention.
