Fantasy Baseball Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 15

Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13
There are a lot of newcomers on this week's list of potential pickups at the corner infield spots as several players seeing the first regular playing time of their careers are starting to produce consistent results.

Fantasy Baseball Hitters to Buy and Sell for Week 13
I’m going to change things up a bit for you guys this week. I’ve decided it would be more beneficial for the readers if I wrote four buys and only two sells in my articles. I'll discuss additional players who are overdue for a hot-streak, and spend less time on guys whose value depends largely […]
Third Base (3B) and First Base (1B) Waiver Pickups for Week 12
There is a healthy mix of new blood fantasy baseball sleepers, and veterans, headlining this week's list of waiver wire options at the hot corner. Perhaps more importantly, there are a few potential pickups that have a chance to help out in several offensive categories and not just one or two specific departments. Of course, […]

While this week's waiver wire pickups at the corner infield spots include some familiar faces that continue to produce and remain widely available, there are also two sleepers on the list that have yet to have play in a game in 2014. Fresh options are usually hard to come by at this point in the season […]
Buy / Sell Fantasy Baseball Hitters Week 9
I’m selling some heavy hitters and base stealers this week. It’s not that these guys have performed poorly, but they all have issues glaring fantasy owners in the face. The good news is that they all of them still have value and you can sell for some really nice value that will help out that […]
Buy / Sell: Fantasy Baseball Hitters for Week 8
I don’t know if a single player can win a fantasy baseball league, but Troy Tulowitzki is beginning to make me think it’s possible. This season, Tulo has a 227 wRC+. That means that out of every other hitter in baseball, Tulo is creating 127% more runs! You just can't find production like this often in your […]
Buy Low and Sell High Hitters for Week 6
Hitters to Buy and Sell for Your Fantasy Baseball Team Week 6 is upon us and don’t we all wish we had drafted Dee Gordon. It’s not like the guy came out of nowhere, but no one could have expected him to be hitting .344 with 19 SB already. Yes, you read that right. […]

Casey McGehee (3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ll start off by saying Casey McGehee will not be any threat to the front-end Third Basemen, this will just be about his ability to play for your fantasy team as opposed to the average 3B. Let’s call it fantasy WAR. The 31 Year Old McGahee has had […]
Three Undervalued Third Basemen: 2014 Fantasy Baseball Rankings
In a continuation of my recent piece on overvalued third basemen, today I'll be looking for underrated gems among the 3rd base class...

Kris Bryant: Fantasy Baseball Dynasty League Keeper
20, I repeat 20 players have manned the hot corner for the Chicago Cubs since 2000. This is a sore subject for all Cubs fans (Like me!) who have seen the highly touted prospects such as Gary Scott, Kevin Orie and Josh Vitters fizzle in a Cubs uniform. Aramis Ramirez provided production for most of […]

Top 25 Third Basemen (3B): Rankings, Tiers & Projections
Before I sat down to rank the Top 25 Third Basemen for 2014 fantasy faseball, I thought I'd have a tough time coming up with twenty-five players at the position who I would consider drafting in 2014. I thought I might have to cut this list to twenty, but even after losing hot-corner mainstays such […]

2014 Dynasty Leagues: Third Base Keepers
Today I'll be covering what are, in my opinion, the top-5 3rd base keepers for the 2014 season. To be honest, I agonized over this article, because there are really 7 players for whom you could make an argument. The way I whittled down my list is actually a good way for me to explain […]
Chicago Cubs Lineup Preview for 2014 Fantasy Baseball
2014 Chicago Cubs Lineup Preview for Fantasy Baseball In short, there’s not much fantasy intrigue in the field for the Cubs this year. Only two players have much more than back-end-of-draft upside, and they both come with serious risk. Such a poor group is going to struggle to cross the plate, deflating run and RBI […]
