Full Story »Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Since 2008, Adam LaRoche has 25 or more homers in every year except 2011 - and he was hurt that year. So what is LaRoche doing being owned in only 66 % of Yahoo-leagues? That is just craziness, and he could even be labeled right now as […]

Full Story »Jose Quintana (CWS, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team or Deeper Leagues / Continue Scouting in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: I loved Jose Quintana as one of my pre-season sleepers, somewhat based on the fact that the Sox offered him an extension. I figured their development people must have seen something and thus he'd be a good investment. Unfortunately, he […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: DJ LeMahieu is a speedy middle infielder / corner infielder who plays for the Colorado Rockies.

Full Story »Adam Lind (1B / DH, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Edwin Encarnacion is headed to the DL with his strained quadriceps, and his estimated two-to-four week absence may be key to any playoff hopes that the Jays have. Adam Lind, Munenori Kawasaki and Juan Francisco will all be important in filling the holes left by both Brett […]
