Minor League Spotlight: Top Hitting Prospects from Week 20

Trea Turner was actually called up by the Nationals, and it happened before rosters expanded. Turner may not see starting time right away, but it may only be a little bit longer before a desperate Nationals squad plugs Turner into the shortstop spot to replace the underperforming Ian Desmond. With his job on the line, Matt Williams could […]

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 20

Matt Shoemaker broke a lot of hearts, and fantasy team ratios, last week. Taylor Jungmann and Shelby Miller each turned in uninspiring efforts early in the week before dominating on Sunday. Mike Fiers was solid. But Hisashi Iwakuma threw a no-hitter, so who cares about any of that? Swish! Before we tackle this week's recommendations, a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in most leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Now that Gerardo Parra and Carlos Gomez have been shipped to Baltimore and Houston, there is a wide open outfield in Milwaukee that will let Khris Davis continue to slug.

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 19

Due to publishing delays on the last buy/sell column (brought to you by Comcast's incompetence), we're going to skip the usual review of the previous week's entry and get right to the task at hand.

BALLER MOVE: Stream in NL-Only and Most Mixed Leagues Ownership: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Taylor Jungmann is on a terrible team in a small market, but his 22% ownership is still astoundingly low. His 7.38 K/9, 3.10 FIP and 51.4% GB rate are excellent splits for any pitcher, let alone a rookie. Even if the Brewers do not give him run support, […]

Scooter Gennett (2B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I don’t get how Gennett’s ownership percentage is still so low.
