BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis is back with the Mets and the only thing keeping him from playing regularly is the hotting hitting of Satin. In 92 PAs with the Mets Triple-A affiliate, Davis went bananas with a .293-.424.-.667 triple slash and had 5 HR and 18 RBIs. He was flat out […]
Full Story »Kendrys Morales (1B, SEA)
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Morales had another two HR game last night. That makes 2 in the past 7 games. Granted he only had 3 hits in 19 ABs in the middle 5 games, but his 4 HRs and 9 RBIs in the two bookends is plenty of production to hold you over. Morales […]
Full Story »Ricky Nolasco (SP, LAD)

Full Story »Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis July 9: Hollywood Hanley
A Happy Hanley is a Hittin' Hanley Hanley Ramirez went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Monday, extending his hitting streak to 20 games. After spending six-and-a-half years in an abysmal Florida Marlins organization which had a winning record only twice while Ramirez was there, he finally seems interested again. Hanley often was labeled as a […]
Full Story »Colby Rasmus (OF, TOR)
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Rasmus had a big night on Monday going 3-for-4 with a HR and 3 RBIs. The inconsistent slugger has 16 HRs and 48 RBIs on the year with a better than expected .250 BA. His plate discipline really hasn't changed much, so it's likely his BA will fall back to […]
Full Story »Ivan Nova (SP, NYY)
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The Yankees opted to stick with Nova as their 5th starter instead of the rehabbing and higher-upside Michael Pineda, and Nova responded in a BIG way. He tossed a complete game with 11Ks on July 5th while only allowing 2 ERs on 4 baserunners. It was a dominant […]
Full Story »Grant Green (2B, SS, OAK)
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Through 81 games in the minors, Green batted .318/.374/.500 with 11 HR and 49 RBI. He's been called up and you should definitely keep and eye on him. He has quick hands and a good line-drive stroke through the hitting zone. Don’t expect great power in the majors, but doubles […]
Full Story »Erasmo Ramirez (SP, SEA)
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Seattle called up their hidden gem Erasmo Ramirez on Monday night. Many of you may have forgotten him and his 3.36 ERA/ 1.00 WHIP through his 59 IP last year. He was injured in Spring Training and has been rehabbing successfully in the Mariners’ minor league system. This year he […]
Full Story »Nick Castellanos (3B, OF, DET)
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: The combination of Andy Dirks and Avisail Garcia has provided average-at-best outfield production for the Tigers. And in that connection, I’d just like to remind everyone to watch Castellanos very closely. He brings third base eligibility and will be inserted into an extraordinarily productive linuep immediately upon receiving the call. […]
