Full Story »Eric Decker (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target ~70-75th overall (Current ADP: 91) ANALYSIS: Eric Decker's move from Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos to Geno Smith's New York Jets has caused his stock to drop heavily amongst most drafters. It's notable that even after a huge breakout year with Peyton Manning in 2012 which saw him finish at WR9, in 2013 Decker […]
Full Story »Jarred Cosart (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Super Deep Leagues; Continue Scouting in Most ANALYSIS: Jarred Cosart is one of my favorite up-and-coming young pitchers in the game. The high school righty was drafted in the 38th round of the 2008 MLB Draft by the Phillies, and after a solid start to his minor league career, he wasshipped […]
Full Story »Tanner Roark (SP, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: The fact that Tanner Roark is only 61 % owned is downright criminal. Sure he had back to back hiccups on June 27th and July 4th, where he gave up 4 runs to the light hitting Cubs, but otherwise he has been an ERA and WHIP saint. On […]
Full Story »James Paxton (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: James Paxton and Taijuan Walker were two of the highly touted Mariners' pitching prospects coming into the year. Taijuan is the one people are more familiar with since he has pitched in the majors more recently than Paxton, but Paxton is the one with more upside in my […]
Full Story »BOLD! - A Fantasy Baseball Second-Half Predictions Thread
Calling All RotoBallers! The MLB All-Star break has come to pass, which means it's time again to make some BOLD! fantasy baseball predictions for the second half of the season. Perhaps the loyal and long-time RotoBallers will remember performing this same exercise last year? I'll admit to making some unreasonable and fairly absurd predictions in […]

Full Story »Noah Syndergaard: MLB Rookies, Prospects & Call-Ups Evaluation
Heading into the second half of the 2014 MLB season, it is easy to see which teams have become buyers and sellers. In the sellers' case, when trading away pieces, the likely corresponding move is to bring up MLB prospects in place of the departing player. When players are traded in MLB, it creates opportunities […]
Full Story »FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 7/23
Congratulations. You’ve been delegated with the enviably task of navigating through the following garbled mess to attempt to make daily fantasy selections based on my [somewhat] extensive knowledge of baseball matchups.

Full Story »Chase Headley (3B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Chase Headley has been worse than dog poop in 2014, and it's incredible he's still 51% owned in CBS leagues. BUUUUUUT, he just got traded to the New York Yankees. You don't need to be a scientist to know that the difference between Petco Park and Yankee Stadium is enormous […]
Full Story »Zach Putnam (RP, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: It's clear the ChiSox have settled on Zach Putnam as their closer after notching back-to-back saves on July 18th and 19th. If you own Petricka, you can safely cut him loose now, because despite Ventura's public statements that the closer role will be shared, it's looking more likely that Putnam […]
Full Story »Wade Miley (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Wade Miley is only owned in slightly more than a 1/4 of Yahoo! leagues, and at this point I'm convinced it's because he's got a really junky sounding name, because there's really no other explanation. Miley's fastball velocity has been increasing each month, and he has a lot of room […]
Full Story »Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17
