1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
This point of the season is a rough one for reinforcements on the waiver wire. Pretty much everyone is still trying to win, and with early breakouts long since snapped up and injuries taking their toll as usual, it can be tough to find help that doesn't require a trade partner. Tough - but not […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of All Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into 2019, David Fletcher was only on the radar in the deepest of leagues.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
Week 10 provides a number of young arms and a few pitchers whose limitations make them easy to overlook. I’m particularly excited about the Indians’ calling up Zach Plesac. I’m not sure what happens when Mike Clevinger gets back, but Plesac looks like a legitimate SP2 talent. A reminder before we begin: This column focuses […]
The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

May is coming to an end, but luckily, buy and sell windows are still open on a certain set of players discussed in today's piece. There is nothing worse than seeing one of your guys underperform, but if that is the case, eight times out-of-ten it is most prudent to hold on until they at […]
Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 10
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. For Week 10, […]
