What’s up RotoBallers. It seems that for the first time, in a long time, pitching around baseball isn't quite as dominant as it has been. A lot of the non-elite pitchers are struggling to find consistency, leading to higher team ERAs and WHIPs for fantasy baseball owners. In such times, I find it's best to bench some iffy […]
Full Story »Carson Smith (RP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve touched on Smith and Rodney in the past. It may finally be time to just get rid of Rodney while you can. Rodney has had an embarrassing stretch as the closer, giving up runs in seven of his last ten appearances. That […]

Full Story »Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 10
While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that could be the difference between winning or losing in your fantasy league. If you play […]
Full Story »First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 10
Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season. This can be especially true at the infield corners, an area where the stars are readily scooped up and finding a low cost alternative can be often difficult. Here at RotoBaller, we're always looking […]

Full Story »Top Five Two-Start Pitcher Streamers & Sleepers for Week 10
Quality over quantity. Every fantasy owner knows this. But when looking at the starting pitcher free agent waiver wire for the coming week, ideally you’d like to have a guy that is going to be on the mound more than once. Most teams are going to have a couple of starters pitching twice in a […]
Full Story »Pedro Strop (RP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Saves are one of the most fickle categories in fantasy baseball, and Saturday afternoon showed us why. After being called on to try and shut the door on the Nationals during yesterday's game, Hector Rondon was pulled after facing only batter. He walked Anthony Rendon, so […]
Full Story »Carlos Correa (SS, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: And there we have it... it's finally Carlos Correa time. Earlier today, it was announced that the top MLB shortstop prospect for the Houston Astros has been called up to the big leagues, making him an immediate must-add in all fantasy baseball leagues.

Full Story »Taijuan Walker (SEA, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Walker was one my preseason picks for a breakout performance, and he proceeded to make me (and others) look foolish with a rough start to 2015. Yes, going off a strong Spring is foolish when it comes to starting pitchers. But check out his splits in […]
Full Story »Alex Guerrero (OF/3B, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Guerrero likely won’t appear on this list again, as his ownership level has crept up to the cutoff point. With Juan Uribe now toiling in Atlanta and Scott Van Slyke on the shelf, Guerrero has the clearest path to playing time he’s […]
Full Story »Rusney Castillo (OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% owned in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Obviously, Castillo has been a disappointment so far. He opened the season in the minors, missed significant time with injuries, and has scuffled in his second taste of major league action. An OPS below .400 is abysmal, of course, but keep in mind […]
Full Story »Andre Ethier (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Like Guerrero, Ethier has benefited from injuries to his teammates and has taken full advantage of increased playing time. He’s cooled off a bit in recent days but still boasts a .295/.380/.517 line, with seven homers and 22 RBI. Last season notwithstanding, Ethier […]
