Aaron Nola (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I seriously want to start calling Aaron Nola "Big Easy." In his season debut against the Reds, Nola made things look easy. He threw seven strong innings of one-run ball, striking out eight Reds. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the win because […]

John Lamb (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: John Lamb had a sexy 58 strikeouts in 49.2 innings last year, but it came with a 1-5 record, a 5.80 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. He suffered from bad luck in this small sample, and his SIERA was a cool 3.56. Put […]

Jon Gray (SP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Jon Gray is still a good, young talent who is scrapping his curveball, which is good news for a Coors pitcher. He was strong in his few road starts last year, and could prove to be a sneaky buy, especially as a streaming […]

Shane Greene (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Shane Green teased us at the beginning of last season as well, but he’s having another strong spring with a roughly 30% strikeout rate and improved control. Maybe there’s nothing real here, but on the off-chance he puts it together with his put-away […]

Adam Conley (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Adam Conley won’t impress you in any one category, but he looks to be a serviceable back-end starter who can post an ERA in the mid-to-high 3’s with roughly 80 strikeouts per 100 innings. He’ll get matchups against Atlanta and Philadelphia, so fantasy […]

Rich Hill (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rich Hill dominated in a very small 29-inning sample last season (though he was also strong in 64 minor league innings). He signed with Oakland and now gets to pitch in that spacious O.co Coliseum. It costs nothing to see if the re-invention […]

Kris Medlen (SP/RP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Bartolo Colon (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In a rotation that is blessed with young arms that command so much attention, Colon isn’t getting any love despite pitching in the NL East for a strong team. He still has impeccable command, which helps keep his WHIP manageable, even […]

J.A. Happ (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If J.A. Happ can hold onto some of that Ray Searage magic from Pittsburgh, then he could win plenty of games on a strong Toronto team while posting serviceable ratios and striking out 160 in 180 innings. Check out RotoBaller's entire […]

Vincent Velasquez (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vincent Velasquez has the kind of pitches that can get you more than a strikeout per inning, and that talent deserves to be targeted. Those who play in leagues where wins are big pieces won't be as excited, since he does […]

Aaron Nola (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Aaron Nola logged 186 innings last year, so he should have a strong arm heading into 2016 with no significant limit to him. Steamer paints this picture of Nola: 181 IP with a 9-12 record, 152 K, a 3.87 ERA and […]

Jerad Eickhoff (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If Jerad Eickhoff is unowned in your league, then clearly others don’t believe in the ratios from last season and are shying away from the Phillies altogether. Eickhoff’s fly-ball stuff is hard to trust in Philadelphia, but if he keeps his […]

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Oblique injuries can be quite pesky, but before suffering one, Anthony DeSclafani was looked at as a fun sleeper type. He’ll be back at some point in April and hopefully finds the same success with his sinker and slider that he […]
