Sunderland AFC scraped home at the end of last season in emotional scenes. Even the 'Little General' Dick Advocaat was brought to tears by sustaining EPL soccer for the Black Cats. He was expected to walk off into the sunset and a happy retirement. Move forward three months and Advocaat is back and ready to […]
Full Story »Southampton Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview
The story of Southampton was for most analysts the real story of last season. To lose the very essence of their team and to then be competing for a Champions League place through the New Year was sensational. Ronald Koeman must take a good deal of the credit. Roll on 12 months and Morgan Schneiderlin […]
Full Story »Dez Bryant Gets Into Altercation Because Why the Hell Not?
In the world of football, especially in the magical land of the Dallas Cowboys, tempers can flare and crap seems to escalate rather quickly. Wide receiver Dez Bryant and defensive back Tyler Patmon exchanged a few words, knocked helmets, and threw some punches during team drills at training camp on Sunday. Not wanting to be […]
Full Story »Cashman Says Pineda (Forearm) Won't Return In Augst
New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman has ruled out Michael Pineda returning in August. Pineda, 26, has been out since after his July 24 start with a flexor forearm muscle strain in his pitching arm. The starting pitcher is still a few days away from throwing but he will likely make a couple of […]
Full Story »Preston Tucker (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With George Springer still not close to returning from a fractured wrist, Tucker has stepped up to fill the void. He’s hit five homers in his past 13 games. Unfortunately for him and the Astros, they haven’t come with many men on the […]
Full Story »David Peralta (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Peralta was already having himself a nice little season before the All-Star break, but he’s turned on the jets since. In 15 games, he’s hit .365/.389/.654 with seven extra-base hits. A converted pitcher, Peralta’s compiled an .811 OPS with 18 homers and 11 steals […]
Full Story »Kevin Pillar (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While he’s cooled considerably since the end of June, Pillar remains a sneaky value. Batting in the Jays’ lineup and park means he’ll score plenty of runs even at the bottom of the order, and he’s got a decent shot at a 10/25 season. […]
Full Story »Alfred Blue Balls: Arian Foster to Possibly Have Groin Surgery
Ouch – for both Houston Texans key running back Arian Foster, and to those who were looking forward to drafting Foster in their fantasy football league (and by “those” people, I mean poor Blackberry-texting time travelers from the year 2012). After suffering a serious groin injury during Monday’s training camp, it was reported that Foster, […]
Full Story »Miguel Sano (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All AL-Only and Most Mixed Leagues Ownership: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Miguel Sano has cooled since the break, but that was inevitable. At one point in the early going, his BABIP was .600.-- regression was bound to happen. He’s still showing great plate discipline and power, and remains in the middle of the Twins' lineup. If […]
Full Story »Taylor Jungmann (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in NL-Only and Most Mixed Leagues Ownership: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Taylor Jungmann is on a terrible team in a small market, but his 22% ownership is still astoundingly low. His 7.38 K/9, 3.10 FIP and 51.4% GB rate are excellent splits for any pitcher, let alone a rookie. Even if the Brewers do not give him run support, […]
Full Story »Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Very Late Rounds Current ADP: 234 STD, 172 PPR ANALYSIS: Matt Jones should be the immediate 3rd down back for the Redskins, given Alfred Morris' passing game issues-- he currently averages 12 receptions a year. Jones could potentially take on even more of a role, as many reports have him impressing during the non-contact portion of […]
Full Story »Reggie Bush (RB, SF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Round 10 Current ADP: 120 STD, 112 PPR ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush isn’t the same flashy name he has been in past years, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t talented enough to keep putting up numbers. Since 2011, Bush has only seen injury twice-- once in 2013 when, during a pre-game warmup, he hurt his calf, […]
