Full Story »Michael Saunders (OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: In 2012 Michael Saunders hit 19 HR and stole 21 bases making him at the very least, roster-worthy. Last year his numbers declined across the board and he was not relevant in just about any league. Saunders does not have extreme R/L splits either, meaning he has been relatively mediocre no matter […]
Full Story »Tyler Lyons (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals seem to churn out good pitchers at an alarmingly high rate. Tyler Lyons appears to be another example. Lyons made 8 starts in the majors last year and while the ERA was a not-so-pretty 4.75, his peripheral numbers were much better as his 3.73 FIP indicates. This year […]

Full Story »Wilmer Flores (3B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: One thing worth noting about Wilmer Flores: he is currently listed at 3B because that is where he played last year. But he will gain position eligibility for SS pretty quick, and maybe gain eligibility at 2B too. Flores has hit .300 or better in the minors each […]
Full Story »Adam Lind (1B / DH, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues, AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Adam Lind has had good years, where he was a hot add off the waiver wire, and he's had bad years where he's been dropped to the waiver wire. At his worst in 2010, he hit just .237 with an OPS .712. There was still some […]
