BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Texas Rangers are making a desperate push for the playoffs and having as many young healthy horses in their stable will be key to that playoff run becoming a reality.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nathan Eovaldi seems to have found a home in the Big Apple after two dreadful stops in Los Angeles and Miami.

Full Story »Jackie Bradley Jr. (OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: JBJ’s ownership rate figures to shoot up after an absolutely mammoth day at the dish on Saturday (five extra-base hits in six at-bats, including two homers, and 7 RBI). But that was just the cherry on top of a huge week for the former top […]
Full Story »Delino DeShields (OF, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DeShields, who celebrates his 23rd birthday today, got himself an early gift with his first major league homer on Friday.

Full Story »Colby Rasmus (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There are 27 outfielders with at least 15 homers this season. Rasmus is the only one of them not owned in at least a third of Yahoo leagues, and just three others are under 50 percent owned. He’s a bit of a BA drag, […]
Full Story »Yunel Escobar (SS / 3B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Escobar has been a last cut basically every week since I started writing this column. The reasoning behind that?

Full Story »Mitch Moreland (1B / DH, TEX) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Moreland had a tough July, but he’s bounced back this month and owns an impressive .295/.345/.511 line with 17 homers and 61 RBI. He’s still a liability against southpaws and has a pretty checkered injury history. Still, power is a scarce resource in the […]
Full Story »Cesar Hernandez (2B / 3B / SS, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 1o+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Hernandez will almost certainly lose his 3B eligibility next season on non-Yahoo platforms and he’s a better fit at the middle infield slots, but cheap speed is cheap speed. Hernandez is 17-for-21 in stolen base attempts and also sports a nifty, albeit empty, .289 […]

Full Story »The Other Pittsburgh Receiver: Martavis Bryant and Why to Believe the Hype
Remember those ground and pound Pittsburgh Steelers of the decade past? They had the James Harrisons, the Joey Porters, and the Troy Polamalus who were just out there to kick the snot out of people and commit what some would believe to be attempted homicides. Then on offense they would grind out the Jerome Bettis's, […]
