BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (NL Only Must Add) ANALYSIS: We all know that this twitter machine monster has often tweeted better (and more) than he hit, but since his return from injury earlier in 2013, he is actually having a very nice campaign for the fish hitting .273 with 4 HR, 17 RBI […]
Full Story »Cody Ross (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The following one-uppers went back for a second helping: Justin Upton topped off an 8-for-18 series against the Rockies with two moonshots for his 17th and 18th long-balls of the season. He’s been a sleeping giant since April. It seems the […]
Full Story »Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Lohse just somehow continues to get hitters out. He isn't doing it very sexily, as the strikeout rate is not what we'd like it to be, but he limits the walks and induces enough ground balls to keep the WHIP down nonetheless. He can be valuable as a […]
