Full Story »Tyler Skaggs (SP, LAA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Going into last year, Tyler Skaggs was a Top 20 prospect in all of baseball.

Full Story »Aaron Loup (RP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Analysis
Update (5/3 - after today's game): Loup came in the 7th inning of today's game, and had a disastrous outing giving up 3 ER. Certainly a different tune than what the Blue Jays had said coming into today. The bullpen situation is ugly here, most likely yielding towards a committee going forward until Janssen is back, […]

Full Story »Trevor Plouffe (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Plouffe first caught the fantasy world's attention when he hit 24 HR in less than a full season in 2012.
