Fantasy Baseball Risers and Fallers from Week 8: Sal Perez, J-Mart, Mazara, and More

It's Week 8 of Risers and Fallers. The weather is warming up, and so are many hitters around baseball. Some of these guys won't remain on your league's waiver wire for long. There's a nice influx of youth around the game and some of the top prospects could soon get the call to the big […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: First Base and Third Base

As the season progresses, it becomes simultaneously easier and harder to mine the waiver wire for production. It’s more difficult in the sense that top performers have mostly been plucked away already, but easier to find players whose early struggles have obscured recent success. The usual caveats about sample size and arbitrary endpoints aside, using […]

Week 8 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Last week’s buys were a mixed bag. Zack Greinke dominated the Cardinals, but Miguel Sano continued to scuffle. He’s still hitting the ball hard enough to anticipate better days ahead, though. On the sell side, Danny Salazar got knocked around by the Red Sox (no shame in that lately) and Adrian Gonzalez’s struggles continued. He […]

Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 8)

Colin Moran was finally promoted in an effort to actually provide some positive production out of the third base position. He is by no means a must-own prospect and could actually himself be replaced by Alex Bregman who is absolutely tearing up Double-A right now. But based on his track record, Moran could provide fantasy […]

Brandon Guyer (OF, TBR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues Owned in: 6% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: The Rays have been hitting for major power in 2016 and Brandon Guyer has gotten in on the game in a big way. Guyer currently has a slash line of .327/.410/.564 and has hit five HR and stolen one base in […]

Steve Pearce (TB, 1B/2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce is a weird guy. He has a breakout season, then you think he might keep it going, and he disappoints.

Poetry In Motion: The Strikeout Prowess of Aaron Nola

Nola? More like Nolan! While Aaron Nola may not be as physically imposing as the Ryan Express, his strikeout rate is in elite territory this season. Nolan Ryan's career 9.5 K/9 doesn't reflect the dominance of his era, as he led the league in strikeouts 11 times. These days, hitters are more aggressive and pitchers […]
