BALLER MOVE: Draft Target in Later Rounds / Waiver Wire Stash ANALYSIS: A name to keep in mind going forward is Nathan Eovaldi. Right now Eovaldi is in the fourth slot of the Yankees rotation, opening up plenty of opportunity to thrive. Owned in just 17% of leagues, Eovaldi is being criminally undervalued in relation to his potential […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Adam Warren has now been named the New York Yankee's 5th starter. If he is available in your deeper league / AL-Only league, and you've already drafted, go ahead and grab him him off the waiver wire. As a relief pitcher in 2014, with a 2.97 ERA and a […]

BALLER MOVE: Draft in Late rounds of All leagues as a OF4/UTIL. ANALYSIS: There are some premium positions in fantasy baseball that have a so-called "inner circle" of elite talent.

Full Story »Mark Teixeira (1B/DH, NYY) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Late Round Draft Target or Waiver Wire Stash ANALYSIS: Mark Teixeira is not the player that he once was, but his power still holds some value in the middle of the Yankees order. After all, power is at an all time low, and a late round draft pick that can provide some cheap […]

Full Story »Henderson Alvarez (SP, MIA) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~230 Overall ANALYSIS: Henderson Alvarez compiled a 12-7 record along with a 2.65 ERA in 30 starts last season, yet he is consistently available after the 20th round in most 12-team leagues for 2015. The Marlins have enough belief in Alvarez’s talent to make him their opening day starter while Jose Fernandez is recuperating from […]
Full Story »Yasmani Grandal (C, LAD) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~240 Overall ANALYSIS: Yasmani Grandal was traded to the Dodgers in the Matt Kemp deal, and will bat in a retooled lineup that now includes Howie Kendrick, Jimmy Rollins and Joc Pederson, to go along with Yasiel Puig, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez. This equates to numerous run-producing opportunities for the switch-hitting Grandal. He was surprisingly poor in […]
Full Story »Joc Pederson (OF, LAD) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 Overall ANALYSIS: Joc Pederson decimated the Pacific Coast League’s pitching last year, slugging 33 HR and stealing 30 bases. By jettisoning Matt Kemp to the rival Padres, the Dodgers have given the rookie Pederson a vote of confidence, as well as the everyday centerfield job. Beyond his tools, Pederson gives the Dodgers a young player who wants […]

Full Story »Dynasty/Keeper Deeper Dive: Devon Travis
It seems I have a thing right now for second base prospects picked in the 13th round. Just ask Micah Johnson. There haven't been many familiar names out of the top 300 picked in the 13th round these past ten years. The odds are not in favor of both Johnson and Devon Travis being successful. […]
