Full Story »Starting Pitcher Streamers For Week 7 (Part 2)
1. Jonathon Niese (New York Mets) Next scheduled start: Friday at Washington Considering that Niese is pitching for New York and has arguably been the team's most consistent pitcher, it's odd that he's owned in only 41% of Yahoo! and 44% of ESPN leagues. Nevertheless, he is available and he's an excellent streamer on Friday. […]

Full Story »Rougned Odor (2B, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Left handed hitting second baseman Rougned Odor is certainly no Hall of Famer, but there have been more than a few Wally Pipp and Lou Gherig comparisons drawn between him and the injured Jurickson Profar.

Full Story »Phil Hughes (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: We had a hunch that moving from homer haven Yankee Stadium to homer graveyard Target Field would really help Phil Hughes. He is a heavy fly ball pitcher, and Target field is where fly balls go to die. Not only has Hughes slashed his HR/FB rate from ~12% over the […]
Full Story »Danny Duffy (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Duffy was a well-regarded prospect in the not too distant past. Tommy John surgery and some struggles since have put him well off the radar.

Full Story »Juan Francisco (1B / 3B, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Juan Francisco has always tantalized fantasy owners by putting up big numbers at AAA (.901 career OPS) and then failing to deliver at the Major League level (.731 OPS heading into the year).

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jason Hammel has had a nice start to his 2014, going 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 37 Ks in 47.2 innings. Considering he’s on the Cubs in the bottom of the ever competitive NL Central, it’s an immediate handicap in terms of fantasy relevance. However, […]
