Full Story »Erik Bedard (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Full Story »Khris Davis (OF, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Davis is an interesting prospect. With Ryan Braun accepting his suspension for the remainder of the season, Milwaukee called up Davis to try to replace some of the lost production. So far, he’s pretty much just bench and pinch-hitting duty, but he has 2 HR in just 27 AB, and […]

Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Musings: Underowned Stretch-run Sleepers
If you don’t read past the next paragraph of this article, that’s fine by me. In it, I ask one simple question: Why in Bill James’s sacred sabermetrical name is Hector Santiago so grossly under-owned? Santiago is so widely ignored it blows my mind. Sure, his 3-7 record is ugly on the surface, but how […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Avila has been en fuego over the past two weeks, with a .344/.400/1.025 triple-slash with 2 HR and 11 RBI in his last 29 at-bats. If you need a boost at your second catcher, or you own Yadier Molina and need a replacement, Avila is a good option […]
Full Story »Alex Wood (SP, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: With the fall of Paul Maholm and Tim Hudson to recent injuries, it appears Alex Wood will remain in the Braves rotation for the foreseeable future.

Full Story »Yoervis Medina (RP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. ANALYSIS: On Friday, Seattle's manager said that Tom Wilhelmsen is out for now as the Mariner's closer.

Full Story »Logan Morrison (1B, OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (NL Only Must Add) ANALYSIS: We all know that this twitter machine monster has often tweeted better (and more) than he hit, but since his return from injury earlier in 2013, he is actually having a very nice campaign for the fish hitting .273 with 4 HR, 17 RBI […]
Full Story »Cody Ross (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. ANALYSIS: Cody Ross has been on a roll recently, and that's grabbed my attention. He's a streaky hitter, and when he heats up he can hit HRs in bunches. After a mediocre season, he may just be heating up now. Last night Ross went 4-for-5 with a HR, 3 […]
Full Story »Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis August 2: Greedy Boppers
There were homers galore on Thursday-- twenty-one to be exact. Some guys ONLY hit one, psshh, slackers. The following one-uppers went back for a second helping: Justin Upton topped off an 8-for-18 series against the Rockies with two moonshots for his 17th and 18th long-balls of the season. He’s been a sleeping giant since April. It seems the […]
Full Story »Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Lohse just somehow continues to get hitters out. He isn't doing it very sexily, as the strikeout rate is not what we'd like it to be, but he limits the walks and induces enough ground balls to keep the WHIP down nonetheless. He can be valuable as a […]
