Full Story »Wily Peralta (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Don't flinch-- we just told you to add Wily Peralta immediately if not sooner (in all leagues, while you are at it).

Full Story »RotoBaller Presents: Hitters to Target in the Second Half
Today we're going to take a look at some offensive candidates to turn it around in the second half. Each of these guys has underperformed to some degree, and might represent a really nice buy-low opportunity if his owner is frustrated with the lack of production.

Full Story »Rex Brothers (RP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately. ANALYSIS: Rafael Betancourt was placed the DL today, retroactive to 7/15.

Full Story »Brad Miller (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: It's tough ignore a highly-touted prospect when he gets the call to the majors and has a 2 HR, 5 RBI game.
