1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

With roughly a quarter of the season in the books, you may be running out of patience with your current fantasy squad. That's okay!

Streaming Pitchers To Fill The Void in 2019

To say that the starting pitcher position has been underwhelming to start the year is an understatement. What was hoped to be a strength for many teams has yet to come to fruition. Part of the reason is that starters haven’t been as effective as desired. That frustration will potentially get rectified once the weather […]

Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube (hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones. I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, […]

Sauceda's Slants - Six Hitters to Buy for Today's Environment

Pitching days can be pure euphoria — firing up the games to watch your pitchers (hopefully) mow down the opposing team for several innings. Catching one of your hitters’ at-bats just doesn’t create that same lasting feeling. Or, at least that’s what I used to say. Nowadays, I find myself bracing for dear life whenever […]

Ronald Acuna Hitting Leadoff Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna is hitting leadoff on Friday night against Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke. It might be a move that sticks going forward as the Braves look to get more production out of their entire lineup. Shortstop Dansby Swanson is also hitting second. Acuna excelled in the leadoff role in his rookie […]

A.J. Minter Optioned to the Minors

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter has been optioned to Triple-A on Friday. Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) is out for the season, so Minter was expected to take over in the closer role. However, Minter posted a 9.82 ERA with nine walks in 11 innings of work with the Braves. Luke Jackson should get some chances […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

Some pretty important moving and shaking went on this week in the bullpens across the league.
