Week 5 Waiver Wire: Catchers
We're in May now... though it would have been hard to convince the people of Colorado, who were digging out of a late April blizzard. It feels like a lot of the catchers are buried under that snow, because the pickings are very slim. It's tough, because it seems like a catcher will get hot […]

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.

Week 5 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)
We are officially into May, which means every article you read will mention that readers will get to see the words “small sample size” and “stabilization point” with far less regularity, but breaking that very promise by mentioning that they won’t mention them. It’s that time of the baseball season. Speaking of stabilization, the own […]

Jett Bandy (C, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team and Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: When the Brewers dealt Jonathan Lucroy last season, they chose not to fill that void with another free agent.

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 […]
