Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 7

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

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, […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 7

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 7

Welcome to the RotoBaller waiver wire column which falls in-line with most fantasy “who should I pick up?” articles with a skew towards points leagues. Yes, there is positive correlation to standard 5x5 scoring but in our format, specific categories matter less and the accumulation of total stats is the ultimate objective. Some stats are […]

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 […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 7 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Tim Anderson Homers In Loss To Jays

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson went 2-for-4 with a homer -- his first of the month and seventh of the year -- and an RBI during Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. After a red-hot April that saw the 25-year-old amass 32 hits and 17 RBI, Anderson has cooled off in May, averaging .211 […]

Yoan Moncada Scores A Run Against Toronto

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run during Friday's meeting with the Blue Jays. Despite this welcome showing, the 23-year-old has struggled this month, sporting a .214 average while striking out 16 times in 42 at-bats. He will look to end his inefficient play against Marcus Stroman […]

Leury Garcia Brings In A Run On Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Leury Garcia went 0-for-4 with an RBI in the 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday. It was his second game since returning from a thumb injury that kept him out of the lineup for a few days, with the 28-year-old compiling a total of seven hits in the […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 7

Well, seven weeks in and I'm already struggling to come up with a decent intro. I'm calling a mulligan on the intro this week and let's just get into the recap of the last two weeks. Julio Teheran is the winner in Week 5 despite going 0-1 in his two starts. After allowing four runs […]

White Sox Acquire Paulo Orlando

The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Paulo Orlando from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, and he has been assigned to Triple-A Charlotte. It's likely the Dodgers received cash considerations in return. The 33-year-old is a .263/.289/.384 hitter in 918 plate appearances in the big leagues and is strictly outfield depth for the Pale Hose. […]

Eloy Jimenez Runs The Bases Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) ran the bases on Friday and manager Rick Renteria expects Jimenez to do it again either Saturday or Sunday. He'll likely be ready for a rehab assignment after that. Barring any setbacks, there's a good chance we'll see Jimenez back with the White Sox late next week or […]

Yolmer Sanchez Gets A Day Off Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Leury Garcia will play second base and hit leadoff against Blue Jays starting pitcher Daniel Hudson as the opener. Garcia missed two games this week with an injury but is back in the fold and is hitting a fine .295/.341/.380 […]

Jose Abreu Goes For A Hit Against The Tribe

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Jose Abreu went 1-for-2 with a hit during Thursday’s 5-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians, marking his third game in a row in which he has recorded a hit and his 11th of the month. The 32-year-old should continue to be a sufficient source of hits, but will likely continue […]

Leury Garcia Goes Hitless in Return

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia went 0-for-2 during the 5-0 loss to the Indians on Thursday. After going for three hits and a run during Monday’s win in the first game of this series, the 28-year-old missed the previous two outings while dealing with a sore thumb. He will look to get back on […]

Yoan Moncada Goes Hitless in Shortened Game

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 0-for-2 on Thursday in a rain-shortened five-inning loss to the Indians. He struck out in both plate appearances. The White Sox infielder has entered a slump in May, hitting only .205 with 16 strikeouts in the month so far. However, his season stats remain strong with a […]
