Full Story »Zach Putnam (RP, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (that value saves) ANALYSIS: With the news that Ronald Belisario was officially removed from the closer's role, Zach Putnam becomes the most recent addition to our list of saves sleepers to target off the waiver wire. While it hasn't been officially stated that Putnam is the new team closer, he looks like the favorite and is […]
Full Story »Travis d'Arnaud (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Travis d'Arnaud of the New York Mets had an abysmal season up until June when the team decided to demote him to AAA Las Vegas. While in Las Vegas, he got some of his swagger back and began raking. Granted, Las Vegas is a hitter's league, but when your hitting […]
Full Story »Marlon Byrd (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Marlon Byrd had one of the best seasons among outfielders who don't get much recognition last year when he hit 24 home runs, 88 RBIs, and scored 75 times all while batting .291. This year he is on the dreadful 2014 version of the Phillies but he's doing his […]
Full Story »Omar Infante (2B, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Considering how many questions per week I seem to get about the 2nd base position, I'm surprised Omar Infante's ownership tag currently sits at 19% in Yahoo! I realize that 2nd base is deeper than a lot expected this year, but Infante does have 7 RBIs, 5 runs […]
Full Story »Collin McHugh (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Only Add in Very Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Up until his recent 3 HR, 5 ER mini-blowup vs. the Mariners, Collin McHugh was enjoying a very nice 2014 campaign, with a 2.86 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. He had been rather unimpressive in his first two partial seasons. In fact, he was terrible: 8.94 ERA, 1.80 […]

Full Story »Detroit Lions: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook
What can we expect from the Lions in 2014? Despite their somewhat disappointing record at 7-9 last season, the Detroit Lions remained one of the more relevant teams in the NFL in terms of fantasy.

Full Story »Santiago Casilla (RP, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: With the recent news that the struggling Sergio Romo has been removed from the closer's role, Santiago Casilla becomes an immediate addition to our waiver wire sleepers list for saves. Bruce Bochy stated that Casilla and Jeremy Affeldt would form a committee, but we prefer Casilla is the better option […]
Full Story »Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Howard is a 6’4” 250 pound behemoth and blasted an average of 52 HR and 143 RBI from 2006-2009. Due to knee issues and his advancing age at 34, those days are far behind him. A year ago, Howard underwent surgery to repair a tear of the left […]
Full Story »Roenis Elias (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Roenis Elias continued his inconsistent June campaign Saturday, allowing five earned runs on six hits over six innings in a 5-0 loss to the Indians. He has three quality starts in six games started this month, leaving fantasy owners quite confused. Despite being a surprise pick for […]
Full Story »Lucas Duda (1B / OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Right off the bat (no pun intended) I'll say Lucas Duda intrigues me. He has moderate power and can hit the ball as hard as any major leaguer, which we have known for a while. Duda has proven to be serviceable and for actual Met fans he has been pretty […]
Full Story »Yan Gomes (C, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Two Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Last year Yan Gomes was so good with the bat that the Indians felt comfortable moving Carlos Santana from behind the plate this year to make room for Gomes. Unfortunately, so far this year Gomes has responded by hitting .267/.311/.421 which is no better than OK for […]
