BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For most of 2016, Carlos Rodon has been difficult to trust on a start-to-start basis, unable to string together more than three quality starts in a row. Lately, though, Rodon’s been good - and at this time of year, anyone seeking a […]
Anthony Ranaudo (SP, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: As a current 26-year old, Anthony Ranaudo has unfortunately gained the reputation as being a failed prospect of sorts, but it isn't time to give up on him yet especially considering the White Sox are calling him up to start on […]
