BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Jason Castro didn’t have a spectacular June (.239, 4 HR, 10 RBI), but he produced enough to prove he belongs in the second tier of catchers. Before taking a seat on the 7th, he went 5-for-9 a HR, 4 Runs and 4 RBIs in his previous two games, so it's […]

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: The Jonathan Lucroy hype-machine rolls on. He’s been on-fire lately with 3 HR and 6 RBI in eight July games after hitting .296 with 3 HR and 18 RBI in June. Are you on the Lucroy bandwagon yet? He's the 8th ranked catcher in the 5x5 game, so he should […]

Full Story »Leonys Martin (OF, TEX)
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Since May, Martin has become a stolen base leader, with 18 SB, good for top-10 in the AL, despite having 100 fewer AB than most. He has also displayed modest power with 5 HR and a 12.8 HR/FB rate, which projects out to solid double-digit homerun power over a full […]

Full Story »Jeremy Hefner (SP, NYM)
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Hefner is only 15% owned in Yahoo! leagues, and that's got to be because he plays for the Mets. With a name like Hefner you'd think he'd get a little more attention. If not the name, maybe his past 6 starts will catch your eye: 37 IP, 29:8 […]

Full Story »Jeremy Hellickson (SP, TB)
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Hellickson is one of the saber community's perennial overrated players because of his seemingly never ending BABIP luck. Well everyone should take note of Hellickson's past two starts: 13 IP, 15:3 K:BB ratio, 2 ER, 2 Ws. He has been nasty, and he is striking out a ton […]

We have a very tough slate of games this Sunday with a bunch of stud pitchers going and a bunch of marginal starters with great splits in their favor. There also isn't a lot of BvP data to go on so I had to dig DEEP to discover some advantageous hitting match ups. Turns out there are a lot of bellow […]

Will the Real Matt Kemp please stand up? Y’all act like you've never seen a hurt person before! For owners of Matt Kemp, this season has been a disappointment, to say the very least. A sure-fire first round pick or a $30-plus investment in auction leagues, Kemp has largely underwhelmed through the first half. His lack of production […]
Full Story »Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL)
Lohse had a great outing Wednesday night, going 8 IP with 7 Ks while picking up the W and allowing just 1 ER and 5 baserunners. He's turned his season around and with his exceptional control he now has a 3.43 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He's far from a strikeout machine, but his ratios make […]
