Champ or Chump: Joey Gallo & Aaron Judge

The old saying "Chicks dig the long ball" applies to fantasy baseball owners as well. Billy Hamilton is frequently criticized for offering nothing outside of steals, yet similar players who provide nothing but bombs are not only rostered, but taken inside the top 100. Hamilton goes high too, but at least two owners in every […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/02/17): MLB DFS Advice

Tuesday is normally the enemy for me. For years, it's been getting by with little to no flack for essentially being Monday, but worse. It doesn't deserve a free pass.

Zack Cozart (SS, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cozart hit .252/16/67/50/4 in only 121 games last year. He has started this year with a line of .379/1/9/11/1. His .462 BABIP is unsustainable, so his average will drop. Nevertheless, he should continue to produce at a high level, just as he did […]

Waiver Wire Points Leagues - Week 5

May is finally here and just like the weather, we can only hope that some bats heat up too! After the first month, we definitely have a better feel of the players on our rosters we absolutely do not want to cut, and some of the "on the bubble" guys. Points leagues are nice because we're […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

If you don't see top prospects and recent call-ups Cody Bellinger or Christian Arroyo on this list, there are two good reasons. Bellinger will be sent back down to Triple-A as soon as Joc Pederson is off the DL, so you won't get much more use out of him. Arroyo only qualifies at SS in […]
