BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: Shssh...Michael Pineda has been quietly good over the past two months.

Miguel Sano (1B/3B, MIN) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano had been slumping coming out of the All-Star break, but even after waking back up last week he still remains criminally under-owned at only 33%. Over this last week, Sano hit three more home runs, with eight RBI and four […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: After missing the first six weeks of the season, and coming off a year in which he slashed a lowly .199/.281/.398, it's not surprising that Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano is available in over two-thirds of leagues. But in his first forty games since […]

Devan Dubnyk Frustrated In Road Loss Against Carolina

Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk was gouged for five goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 5-1 road loss against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Wild provided him with very little offensive support, and a bad turnover on an unassisted goal from Teuvo Teravainen in the third period had Dubnyk boiling over. He slammed his paddle on […]
