When I saw the news that Blake Snell was going to start against the New York Yankees, my first thought was, “Potentially elite left-handed pitching prospect debuting against a team that just struggled against lefty Rich Hill?!

Week 4 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Starting off on the right foot is great. That’s exactly what happened with this column, as both sell recommendations (Carlos Gomez and Aaron Sanchez) have struggled and Domingo Santana has performed well in the past week.

Khris Davis (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned In: 38% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: While Khris Davis's initial 2016 slash line of .200/.257/.308 may make it seem like he forgot to eat his spinach this season, the fate of a player who crushed 27 HR in just 392 Brewer at-bats in 2015 may not be […]
