About Jorge - RotoBaller
A big time sports fan from the Big Apple. I'm a Yankees, Packers, and Knicks fan, as well as a fantasy sports aficionado.
My crowning fantasy achievement would probably be the year I rostered both Randy Moss and Tom Brady back in 2007.

The Cut List (Week 22): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
What's up RotoBallers. There are only six weeks left in the regular season, meaning the playoffs are either starting or only a couple of weeks away. Needless to say, it's no time to hold onto guys out of sentimental value. And with that, if you have someone who is really becoming a waste of roster... Read More
The Cut List (Week 21): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
There are only six weeks left in the regular season, meaning the playoffs are either starting or only a couple of weeks away. Needless to say, it's no time to hold onto guys out of sentimental value.

Things are getting interesting in the realm fantasy baseball. Some rookies are getting called up, injuries are popping up, roles are changing.

The Cut List (Week 19): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
There has been a lot of upheaval going on lately in terms of players losing playing time and entering slumps. Every point and win matters, and there's no point in hanging on to dead weight anymore.

We're getting close to the dog days of summer. The weather is heating up, the trade deadline is approaching, it's a crazy time in baseball.

The Cut List (Week 15): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
The All-Star Break is here folks. Now come the questions of who will rise up, and who will fizzle out in the second half of the season. This is no time to take a break from fantasy, as the moves you make during the next couple of days while the players rest can make all... Read More
The Cut List (Week 14): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
Happy Fourth of July everyone! With all the fireworks, hot dog eating, beer guzzling and all things that make America great going on (that is in no way, shape, or form a Trump endorsement) take a second to check out this week's cut list. The All-Star Break is right around the corner so the season... Read More
Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Bour has been a part of the reason that the Marlins are doing so well this year. The big lefty has smashed 14 homers on the season, and driven in 43 runs. He's hitting .263 and all his peripherals suggest he... Read More
Rajai Davis (OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Steals are down across the MLB this year, so finding someone who can swipe some bags and not kill your ratios is huge. Rajai Davis is that guy. Before you write him off because he doesn't play everyday, you need to look... Read More
Jerad Eickhoff (PHI, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eickhoff is one of the young starters that has been keeping the Phillies at all relevant in 2016. He might be overshadowed by the likes of Aaron Nola and Vincent Velasquez, but Eickhoff is no slouch. On the season, he is... Read More
The Cut List (Week 13): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
It's lucky Week 13 in fantasy baseball. Things are getting interesting. We have some closer upheavals, some new risers, and then obviously the fallers. As always, it's important to know when to let go in fantasy, and to drop the dead weight that may be holding your teams back. So let's get to the cuts.... Read More
The Cut List (Week 12): Players to Consider Cutting Bait On
So I've added two more new segments to this column. We've got the graveyard, and the zombies. The graveyard is basically just a running list of guys who should have been and still should be cut from rosters. The zombies, as the name implies, are some players who have come back and started performing again... Read More
C.C. Sabathia (NYY, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: You know who has the lowest ERA in baseball since May 1st? Believe it or not, it's C.C. Sabathia. The big ol' lefty clearly has some tricks up his sleeve and some quality baseball left in the tank. That said, there... Read More
Danny Duffy (KC, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: That's three straight quality starts in a row for Danny Duffy. Just saying quality starts doesn't even tell the whole story. Duffy's last start was a gem. Against the White Sox, Duffy pitched six shutout innings. He struck out 10 and only... Read More
Jon Gray (COL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Guys, you REALLY need to add Jon Gray. He should be owned in all formats if you ask me, and he probably would be if it weren't for the Coors Field factor. If you look at his body of work though,... Read More

The Cut List (Week 11): Players to Consider Cutting Bait On
So I've added a new segment to this column that I like to call "Reverse Jinx." I'm going to feature a player or two that you can't really cut, despite really wanting to, in the hopes it sparks a hot streak for that player. Worth a shot right? Anyways, it's important to know when to... Read More
Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 6/11/16
Every day, we will be taking a quick look at the best and worst fantasy baseball performers from yesterday's games. Saturday was a letdown if you had guys like Aaron Nola going, whereas usual suspects Manny Machado and Kris Bryant tore it up. Here's a quick rundown of those who impressed on Saturday, and those... Read More
The Cut List (Week 10): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
It worked! Me listing Carlos Correa on the Cut List "hot list" actually sparked him. Of course I was never serious about dropping Correa, but the reverse jinx is real. Anyways, we're basically a third of the way through the season and you're getting a good grasp on how good (or bad) your team is.... Read More
Kirk Cousins Stepped Up for Redskins in 2015
After all the RG3 drama, it was time for Kirk Cousins to put up or shut up in 2015. He didn't have the history of being a great fantasy quarterback, but over the second half of the season he became one of the stronger options available and was even one of the highest scoring players of many fantasy... Read More
Nathan Eovaldi (NYY, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I liked what I saw last time out from Nathan Eovaldi. We all know about the big fastball. He can touch 100 mph regularly and blow hitters away. However, he's developed some off-speed pitches. His slider and splitter have been devastating... Read More
Evan Gattis (HOU, OF/C) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Astros have been playing Evan Gattis as a backstop more lately. If he gains catcher eligibility, his value skyrockets. In some leagues he has already gained the catcher eligibility, in which case scoop him up. Despite the Astros' struggles this year,... Read More
Danny Valencia (OAK, 3B/OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I keep waiting for this guy to come down to earth. However, it looks like Danny Valencia is going to keep being a productive player for the Athletics. Since May 28th, Valencia has three three-hit games. He has two homers and four RBI... Read More
Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 5/28/16
With it being Memorial Day weekend and all, I'm sure many of you are at the beach or on vacation. Unfortunately, this may result in some of your baseball studies being neglected. Every day, we will be taking a quick look at the best and worst fantasy baseball performers from yesterday's games. It's important to keep... Read More
The Cut List (Week 9): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
It didn't quite happen last week, but I know that somebody on this list is going to explode after I recommend cutting him. Just a little disclaimer. That being said, we are about to enter June. The summer is almost here and it's no time to waste roster space on bums. Here is a list... Read More
The Cut List (Week 8): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On
The Cut List curse continues, as some more players are heating up just after I write about them here. I'm looking at you Adam Wainwright. Anyway, June is fast approaching. Some of those highly touted prospects could be up soon and that means it's time to trim the fat on your rosters to make room.... Read More
Sam Dyson (TEX, RP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Shawn Tolleson saga is finally over for now. He went out in grand fashion as Khris Davis crushed a grand slam to effectively end Tolleson's reign as the Rangers' closer. Sam Dyson has racked up two saves since taking over the... Read More
Tyler Duffey (MIN, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Duffey may have lost some of his luster after his most recent start. However, given that it was against the Blue Jays, I think Duffey deserves a mulligan. Before that outing, the Duff Man had only allowed five runs total... Read More
Kevin Gausman (BAL, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'll admit I was skeptical of Kevin Gausman. After looking back at his major league track record, I just thought he was a flamethrower who couldn't get MLB hitters out. In this go around, Gausman has shown a lot of maturity and... Read More
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. Seriously, Pearce is the very definition of streaky. While that can be irritating, it's fun while he's hot. Guess... Read More
