Full Story »Sean Doolittle (RP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Sean Doolittle is a relief pitcher that for the past few years I expected to take the closer role in Oakland and run away with it.

Full Story »Derek Jeter (NYY, SS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Only in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Jeter was once a player who provided his owners with a good average, 200+ hits, double digit homers, double digit steals, and good on base percentage.

Full Story »Ubaldo Jimenez (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In 2013 Jimenez recorded 13 wins, 194 Ks, and a 3.30 ERA for the Cleveland Indians. He was a stud all year and especially in the second half.
