Week 11 Waiver Wire: Catchers

This season continues to be a grim one for those who need good catchers on their team. Sure, Buster Posey just had a good series against the Brewers and is showing signs of actually being Buster Posey, but it literally took until the middle of June for any catcher to break double digits in home […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield

I want to put Ichiro Suzuki on this list so badly. After most critics thought it would be a race with retirement to reach 3,000 MLB hits, Ichiro is batting .350 this year in a backup role with the Marlins. At the ripe age of 42, he's still a menace on the basepaths. Though he's […]

Week 11 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Another week above water for Buy/Sell! I might just be getting the hang of this fantasy baseball thing.

Jake Lamb had […]

Peter O'Brien (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Since being called up last week, Peter O'Brien has gone 1-for-14 with six strikeouts. Obviously that's not incredibly reassuring. There is good news, though. His one hit was a three-run homer, and his minor league numbers have been stellar this year. In 51 games with […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 11)

A couple of pretty good prospects were called up this week. One was sent down just as soon as he came up, and another looks like he is here to stay. The one brought up and then down: Jameson Taillon, who started against the Mets, only to be demoted right after that start. The one to […]

David Peralta (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: David Peralta was supposed to combine with A.J. Pollock to give the Diamondbacks one of the most dynamic outfields in the league. So much for plans. While Pollock's season is in question, Peralta missed almost an entire month and just recently returned on June […]

Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 6/13/16

Peter O'Brien (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 9% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Peter O'Brien has a pretty standard M.O. at the plate. Swing really hard, and either strikeout or hit a HR. That will likely be his approach when he is called up to the big leagues. He has had just […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're now 10 weeks into the season and the state of catching still leaves a lot to be desired. As of this writing, there still has not been a catcher to crack the 10-homer mark and the top mark of 32 RBIs was 23 behind the Major League leader. One of the main reasons I […]

Last week’s recommendations worked out pretty well. On the buy side, Joey Votto hit .318/.464/.727 with two homers and three (!) stolen bases. Scott Kazmir had his outing against the Braves cut short by leg cramps and didn’t post great ratios. He still struck out a batter per inning and got a win, though. Moving […]
