Matt Kemp has let down their fans mightily over the last two seasons, but the team took L.A. by […]

Full Story »Washington Nationals Pitching Analysis: 2014 Fantasy Baseball
Washington Nationals Pitchers for 2014 Fantasy Baseball Welcome to what is quite possibly the best pitching rotation in the major leagues. Everyone knows Stephen Strasburg’s potential. Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmerman demonstrated their dominance over opposing bats last year. And the team landed Doug Fister, a #2 starter in most rotations, as the #4 man […]

Baltimore Orioles Top Prospects for Fantasy Baseball The Orioles, who as recently as a decade ago had one of baseball’s weakest farm systems, have resuscitated the farm as of late.

Full Story »Neil Walker (2B, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The former first-round draft pick is entering his age-28 season, coming off an underwhelming performance in 2013. Don't let his lack of production last year fool you, though-- here's a guy at a really thin position who will not hurt you in any category, and as a member […]
Full Story »Ivan Nova (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Ivan Nova, the Yankees # 4 starter, is available in more than 50% of mixed league formats and really should not be. He hits 93 mph consistently on his fastball and drops down to 80 mph on his curve which is enough to keep most hitters off balance. But the […]
Full Story »Adam Dunn (DH / 1B, CWS) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Long-time darling of BA punters the world over, Adam Dunn's 270 ADP shows his power is not the draw it was just a few years ago. He can still hit the ball a long, long way when he makes contact, but that's happening less and less as the […]
Full Story »Michael Pineda (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who lived through the 2011 fantasy baseball season, you'd remember Michael Pineda busting onto the scene behind King Felix in Seattle's rotation. Some might have even remembered him putting up a better strikeout rate than Felix Hernandez, as he struck out 9.11 batters per […]
Full Story »David Freese (3B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: David Freese is coming off what was basically a lost season for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he will get a new opportunity in 2014 with the offense-riched Angels. It's not exactly clear where in the order he will bat, probably in the 6 to 8 range, but even in that lineup […]
Full Story »Alcides Escobar (SS, KC) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Escobar is coming off a disappointing 2013 season, where he put up a .234/.259/.300 line and a lowly .559 OPS. Escobar will never get you any power production, or win you any leagues on his own, but he has stolen 22, 35 and 26 bases the past three seasons. […]
