Full Story »Noah Syndergaard (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Owned In: 12% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It took unfortunate injuries to Mets starters Zack Wheeler and Dillon Gee, but the club has promoted top prospect Noah Syndergaard to fill out the starting rotation. Syndergaard has been stellar this season for Triple-A Las Vegas, going 3-0 with a 1.82 ERA, […]
Full Story »Rajai Davis (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep, AL-Only Leagues Owned In: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We know what Rajai Davis is at this point. He’ll give you a decent batting average, plenty of steals and not much else. He also doesn’t have a full-time starting gig and hasn’t topped 500 plate appearances since 2010 – the only […]
Full Story »Yasmani Grandal (C, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of FleaFlicker Leagues Yasmani Grandal has absolutely exploded in the first week of May, but the signs of a breakout were already there. Fantasy managers are going to snatch up Grandal based on his recent streak, but i'm here to tell you this likely isn't just a flash in the pan. This looks […]
Full Story »Jung-Ho Kang (SS/3B, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kang was one of the biggest question marks coming into the year for fantasy baseball owners. He was a prolific shortstop in Korea, who hit a lot of home runs and stole bases too, and fantasy owners were all hoping to uncover a gem […]
Full Story »Kelly Johnson (OF/1B/3B, ATL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson was a revelation way back in 2010, hitting 26 homers, stealing 13 bases and posting an .865 OPS as a second baseman. He hasn’t been fantasy relevant since, but he’s tearing the cover off the ball right now. Over the last two weeks, […]
Full Story »Mark Canha (1B/OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It took a while to make a splash at the show for Mark Canha but make no mistake he is here to stay. Canha is the type of guy to not only have on the field but in the locker room. […]
Full Story »Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 6
We’re rapidly approaching the point where unexpected successes or struggles can’t merely be hand-waved as small sample flukes, though some still qualify as such. While 80 percent of the season remains, there is such a thing as being too patient. Around this time last year, I was able to trade Allen Craig and Tony Cingrani […]
Full Story »Alex Colome (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Colome has been gradually working his way back into the rotation, recording consecutive scoreless outings going five innings a piece. He has yet to eclipse 80 pitches in an outing but he’s also yet to yield a walk with ten strikeouts. The results […]
Full Story »Chase Whitley (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 + Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Whitley was a popular stream this weekend and didn’t deliver for fantasy players, going 5.2 innings with five runs including three long balls vs Baltimore. Because of this I expect his ownership levels to drop, which only benefits those looking for […]
Full Story »Wily Peralta (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 + Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Peralta scared off most owners with his inconsistent start to 2015 and saw his ownership rate drop into the 20s. After three consecutive quality starts, I think it’s time owners give him a second chance. Peralta was fantastic his last time […]
Full Story »Tim Lincecum (SP, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10 + Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: It’s been difficult to trust the former ace since Tiny Tim lost the velocity on his fastball in 2012, with his best ERA being 4.37 since then. He somewhat lost his identity as a pitcher and was even relegated to […]
Full Story »Noah Syndergaard (NYM, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Mets made it official on Friday that Syndergaard will make his debut on Tuesday at Chicago, replacing the injured Dillon Gee in the rotation.
