BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues for Speed ANALYSIS: Eric Young is once again getting consistent at bats in the Mets lineup, so if you got the need for speed, you should pay close attention to what EYJ is doing. Young's steals come in spurts, so while he only has 1 over his past 8 games, […]
Full Story »John Jaso (C, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Look at John Jaso's stats and you understand why the Oakland A's have a rampaging offense. He has a .276-.369-.457 triple slash line, as a backup catcher and part time DH. What other backup catcher in the MLB has stats even close to 4 HR, 12 RBI, 16 Runs with […]
Full Story »Seth Smith (OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Seth Smith is a pretty interesting player to me in the sense that while several of the other Padres players have drastically underperformed (three full-time players hitting under .200!) and failed to meet expectations, Seth Smith has outperformed his expectations by a wide margin. In particular he has crushed the […]
Full Story »Josh Beckett (SP, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Only in Deep Leauges ANALYSIS: It appeared that Josh Beckett was on his way back after having two good starts in which he gave up 1 ER in 13 IP, but then he got rocked by the Mets in New York even though he was awarded the W. It appears the old […]

Full Story »Buy / Sell: Fantasy Baseball Hitters for Week 8
I don’t know if a single player can win a fantasy baseball league, but Troy Tulowitzki is beginning to make me think it’s possible. This season, Tulo has a 227 wRC+. That means that out of every other hitter in baseball, Tulo is creating 127% more runs! You just can't find production like this often in your […]

Full Story »Carl Crawford (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Carl Crawford enjoyed a nice semi-resurgence in 2013 hitting for average with some speed and runs. After a slow start in April, Crawford is now 15-for-his-last-36, raising his BA from .245 to .280, and he is hitting .396 with all three of his home runs in May and is […]

If you are looking for help off the waiver wire at either of the corner infield spots for your fantasy baseball team, you've come to the right place.

The Good Many fantasy baseball pundits have been waiting for Yangervis Solarte's early season success to fade but every time falls into a mini slump, he picks himself up, dusts himself off and starts hitting again.

Full Story »Junior Lake (OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In Deeper Mixed Leagues & NL Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Please don't get your hopes of fantasy baseball glory all wrapped up in Junior Lake.

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Solarete just keeps on hitting, and keeps playing full-time, and not enough fantasy baseball owners are paying close enough attention.
