Top Five Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week Three

Quality over quantity. Every fantasy owner knows this. But when looking at the starting pitcher free agent waiver wire for the coming week, ideally you would like to have a guy that is going to be on the mound more than once. Most teams are going to have a couple of starters pitching twice in […]

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Don’t let Anthony DeSclafani’s 2014 ERA – one that was north of six runs a game – scare you away from taking a small risk and giving the young righty a slot in your rotation. If he can keep the walks to a minimum and locate his […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Ottavino, DeSclafani, Haren)

In last week's Deeper League NL Waiver Wire, I talked about a few batters that should see pretty consistent at-bats in the coming months. This week, I'm flipping gears to help you find a few "quality" pitchers that should amass a good number of starts, or, at the very least, be called upon from the […]

Carlos Martinez (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The best pitcher many fantasy owners have never heard of, Carlos Martinez should be added to most rosters or at least strongly considered for addition. The Cardinals appear to finally be happy with the progress that Martinez has shown over the last year. The one cause for concern is […]

Carlos Rodon (SP/RP, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: The third overall pick in the 2014 draft, Carlos Rodon is a must add in all leagues and has the potential to be a top-40 SP ROS. It was reported yesterday that Rodon will be called up and pitch out of the bullpen initially, but that won’t last long, considering […]

Aaron Harang (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Not all pitching comes in the form of force or finesse. Aaron Harang packs a little bit of both. During his 14-year baseball odyssey, he has brought the element of stability to every team for which he has played. Harang is the type […]

Now that we’ve all finished filing our taxes for the year, we can turn our attention to the next big baseball story.

Real Deal or Impostor: Time to Sell on Mesoraco, Hughes, and Pearce?

Three Players Who You Should Considering Selling High On While this weekly column exists to determine whether you should trust a given player's performance, there are not enough data points to consider meaningful analysis of 2015 statistics. Last week we looked at three 2014 breakouts who we expect to continue their improved play, and this week we will look […]

Edinson Volquez (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After ten years of generally dismal pitching, Edinson Volquez seems to be finding some answers in the latter stages of his long career. Two horrific years with the Padres from 2012-13 looked like they might spell the end for Volquez. However, he was miraculously […]

Daniel Norris (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Next week, Daniel Norris pitches against the Rays and Braves, two offensively deficient teams. Entering his first full season in the majors, Norris owns a 5.40 ERA in just 6.2 innings over just five appearances. Spending most of 2014 in the minor leagues, he had a strong 12-2 record with a 2.53 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a […]

Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Starting Pitcher Watch List for Week 2

If you’re anything like me, you don’t like to be told what to think when it comes to fantasy baseball. I want to make my own judgments when it comes to assembling my fantasy roster. I’m convinced that you feel the exact same way. I respect that. If you’re anything like me, you want to […]

Wade Miley (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wade Miley burst onto the scene with the Dbacks  in 2012. He finished second to Bryce Harper in Rookie of the Year voting on the strength of 16 wins and a 3.33 ERA. The following season, Miley weathered significant jumps in both walks […]

Shane Greene (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Greene was considered an afterthought in a three team trade last season between the Dbacks, Yankees and Tigers. The Yankees got their next everyday SS in Didi Gregorius, the Diamondbacks got the best prospect of the bunch in Robbie Ray and the […]

MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Gomes, Rios, Calhoun, Felix, Alvarez 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 […]

Brandon Morrow (SP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues; Continue Scouting Elsewhere OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The signing of Brandon Morrow by the San Diego Padres did not make as much news as many of their other moves, mainly because he isn’t exactly a headline drawing player. Since 2012, he has yet to throw more than 60 […]

Archie Bradley (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Highly touted prospects are often proclaimed as saviors toward their organization. These same prospects are hyped ad nauseum and are often rushed to the big leagues. The Arizona Diamondbacks are hoping that Archie Bradley was worth the wait. Bradley spent 4 seasons […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 2 (Part 1)

Congratulations to Jordan Spieth for winning the 2015 season. Spieth went out and dominated from the first tee box on Thursday until the 18th hole on Sunday.

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DeScalfani was a sleeper among select fantasy pundits entering 2015 after a strong spring. He did nothing to dissuade them in his debut at Pittsburgh, holding the Pirates to two runs on five hits and one walk with six punchouts. […]

Daniel Norris (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Gotta love the man in the van. Norris blazed through all three levels of Toronto’s minor league system in 2014 to earn a spot in the Blue Jay’s rotation this spring. It was hard to tell Norris is only 21 as he displayed […]

James Paxton (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no reason Paxton should be so widely available in ESPN and Fleaflicker leagues. Paxton is definitely what you’d define as an injury risk, but when he’s on the mound he is electric. His fastball sits around 95 mph and results in […]

Aaron Harang (SP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Someone who might be useful in deeper fantasy leagues this year is Aaron Harang. Harang was beat up most of spring training and has yet to produce an ERA of less than 3.57 in his career. However, throughout his last start against the Red Sox, […]
