Full Story »Drew Smyly (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first year in the rotation, Drew Smyly is performing quite nicely. Even though he's the Tigers' fifth starter, Smyly's numbers indicate that he's actually the third best man in the rotation behind Sanchez and Scherzer. His 3.19 ERA and 1.26 WHIP are more than respectable, and he has a […]
Full Story »Jedd Gyorko (2B / 3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Jedd Gyorko had a solid rookie campaign in 2013 in which he belted 23 HR in 486 AB. He was a favorite sleeper coming into this year, however in 204 AB he has mustered only 5 HR, 33 H and 12 BB, good enough for an abysmal .162/.212/.270 slash line […]

Full Story »Matt Shoemaker (SP, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper ANALYSIS: Matt Shoemaker has a K/9 rate of 9.18. Why is that important? Because if he qualified by innings pitched, that would place him as the 8th best K/9 rate in the American League behind Jon Lester and ahead of his teammate Garret Richards. That is […]

Full Story »Jeremy Guthrie (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Guthrie is on a little run right now, having only given up more than two runs once in his past 7 starts. He also had back-to-back 9 strikeout games which is fairly impressive in itself. I'd be a tad more impressed with Guthrie if he wasn't […]
Full Story »Carlos Martinez (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep / NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Martinez has incredible stuff-- some of the best among young pitchers in all of baseball, even drawing comparisons to Pedro Martinez. Like Pedro, the Cardinals' prospect is extremely undersized for a pitcher. Despite that, Martinez throws even harder than the future Hall-of-Famer who shares his […]
