Full Story »Robbie Ray (SP, AZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ and NL-Only Leagues. OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If someone were to ask you who the best pitcher in 2015 has been for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the answer should be Robbie Ray. Chase Anderson had a nice first half, but ever since Robbie Ray was inserted into the […]
Full Story »2015 Deep PPR Sleeper: Browns WR Andrew Hawkins
I’ll start this by saying that Andrew Hawkins is definitely exclusive to deeper leagues and PPR leagues. He provides some sneaky value and showed that last year right up to the point that target-hog Josh Gordon and poor excuse for a football player Johnny Manziel sapped his late season value. Prior to that, the 5’7” […]

Full Story »Recent Prospect Call-Ups: Conforto, Nola, Schwarber
It's that time of year when teams think about testing their prospects in the majors. Part of this comes with the trade deadline.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ and AL-Only Leagues. OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ever since Danny Duffy came back from left biceps tendinitis, he has become the pitcher the Royals were expecting all along.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Byron Buxton and Torii Hunter have grabbed the headlines during Minnesota's surprisingly resurgent season, it is Aaron Hicks who has been stealing the show lately (not in attention though, just look at his ownership). Hicks has just 155 AB in […]
Full Story »Michael Conforto (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The 22-year-old Conforto was just called up from Double-A, and he’d only been there since May. So expectations probably should be on the modest side. On the other hand, he was the 10th overall pick in last year’s draft and hit .312/.396/.503 in that […]
