BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds Current ADP: 122 STD ANALYSIS: The Packers allowed the 10th most rushing yards last year (1,919)-- opposing tailbacks averaged 4.3 YPC, but they had the ninth-most sacks (41) and gave up the 10th fewest passing yards (3,623). Despite allowing 26 TDs through the air, they were able to snatch […]
Full Story »J.A. Happ (PIT, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's always interesting to see how players react after joining a playoff contender. In J.A. Happ's case, he's found a groove that's padding the Pirates lead as the top Wild Card. Since joining the Pirates from Seattle, Happ has started four games […]
Full Story »Raisel Iglesias (CIN, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Raisel Iglesias has been covered plenty here at Rotoballer. How is his ownership still only 41%? Has everyone shifted their focus to football already? We have a month of baseball left people, don't give up now! He's been on a roll since the All-Star Break, accruing […]
Full Story »Joe Ross (WAS, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm officially baffled. Yes, the Nationals have indicated Joe Ross will be shut down in the next 2-3 weeks. But why in the world would you not use him until that point? Ross saw his ownership take a dip after a rough West Coast trip (8.2 IP, 9 ER) and […]
Full Story »Jonathan Schoop (2B / 3B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With 27 homers in 653 career at-bats (including 10 dingers in just 184 turns this season), Schoop’s power has always been readily apparent. His atrocious plate discipline, on the other hand, raised serious concerns about his ability to stick with the Orioles. He’s still […]
Full Story »Mark Canha (1B / OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In and out of the lineup for most of the season, Canha’s gotten more consistent playing time in August and has taken advantage. He’s posted an excellent .325/.350/.532 slash line. Though he’s only hit two homers in that span, he does have eight doubles […]
Full Story »Yangervis Solarte (1B / 2B / 3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After back to back months of sub-.600 OPS hitting in the first half, Solarte was essentially forgotten in all formats. Since the calendar turned to July, however, he’s been among the most productive hitters in baseball. The Padresinfielder is hitting .291/.346/.514 with eight homers […]
Full Story »Brett Lawrie (2B / 3B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve stumped hard for Jung Ho Kang in this space lately, and he’d still be my preferred add in the under 50% crowd (he’s at the very edge with a 49% ownership rate). But in the interest of not sounding like a broken record, […]
Full Story »Jedd Gyorko (2B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ughhhhh, Jedd Gyorko. I have to address him here because he has regained control over the starting second base job and has actually been fairly useful of late. In his last 30 games, he’s hitting .298 with five homers and a very solid 19 […]
Full Story »Eduardo Escobar (SS / 2B / 3B / OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Boy howdy is Escobar thriving atop the Twins lineup. In his last 15 games, he’s slugging an absurd .732 while hitting .341 over that span with seven RBIs, 13 runs scored, and four big flies. Another well-rounded player eligible at multiple positions (SS, 3B, […]
Full Story »Ketel Marte (SS / 2B, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ketel Marte has been a revelation for the Mariners in a mostly lost season, as he is hitting .307 in the 88 at-bats he’s had with the big club. He doesn’t have a homer yet, but that’s to be expected from a light-hitting middle […]
Full Story »Andres Blanco (2B / 3B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Blanco has emerged as the semi-regular third baseman for the Phillies, but he’s eligible for second base on almost every platform. He’s been particularly hot of late, hitting .341 over his last 15 games. In that same time frame, he’s scored eight runs and […]
