Champ or Chump: What to Make of Pomeranz, Beltran, and Lucroy

The non-waiver trade deadline has officially passed, and baseball fans were treated to a number of last second deals.

Week 18 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We've now flipped the calendar to August. Wait. In this age of smartphones, do we still actually use flip calendars?

Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield

Max Kepler smacked three home runs for the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Today, he remains owned in just 36% of leagues. In fact, he leads the league with 11 HR since July 1. The German sensation should be added in all leagues. But Kepler's fate remained relatively unchanged after the flurry of activity over the […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/2/16): MLB DFS Advice

I can't believe the trade deadline has come and gone and we've already reached August. The baseball fan in me is excited as this is when the pennant races really start to heat up, but the daily fantasy player in me is a little sad we've got roughly 8-10 Tuesdays left. Tuesday, in my opinion […]

Poetry in Motion: The Maturity of Jon Gray

Jon Gray isn't a rookie. OK, that's a lie because technically he is, but you know what I mean. The man (he's almost 25 years old for crying out loud) is pitching like a seasoned veteran and yet I keep seeing him mentioned as a streaming option or waiver option. It's a travesty that we […]
