Garrett Cooper (1B/OF, MIA) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cooper enjoyed moderate success in his first full season in 2019 and was solid in the shortened 2020 season. Cooper was a popular sleeper in the later rounds of standard drafts, but a miserable April in which he hit just .197 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: When we last saw Kike Hernandez (pronounced KEE-KAY), he was mashing lefties for the Dodgers for the last few years. That limited his chances. His career high in at-bats is 414, set in 2019 when the Dodgers had a lot of […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating isn't it?

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating isn't it? A look as the surface suggests nothing special about Peterson. The .255 average is, well, average. Four homers and 20 RBI is below average. Peterson has made a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: The pandemic hit some players harder than others. Castro was one of the ones that felt it the worst of players that still played. After playing every game in 2019 with the Marlins and setting a career high with 21 home […]
Mike Marteny 3 years agoA.J. Pollock (OF, LAD) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: We all had high hopes for Pollock coming into the 2021 season. After all, he hit .276 with 16 homers in 55 games last season. He hit .264 with two homers and two steals in April. Not bad, but not what we paid […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's not often that we advise you to rush out and pick up a 37-year-old player off of waivers, but here we are. Yeah, his .257 average in the first half is still far below his .303 career batting average and his days […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ah, stolen bases. The unicorns of fantasy baseball. The last league leader with more than 50 in a season was Dee Gordon in 2017. Gordon and Jonathan Villar are the only guys to steal 60 bases in a season in the […]
Mike Marteny 3 years agoHunter Renfroe (OF, BOS) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Renfroe has gained quite a reputation for being an all-or-nothing type of fantasy player. His abhorrent .156 average with the Rays last year set that in stone. His .263 average in the first half of this season is 15 points better […]
Mike Marteny 3 years agoLuis Urias (2B/SS/3B, MIL) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating, isn't it? The .279 BABIP in the first half is a touch low, so there is hope that the .237 average can increase a little. Still, who can't use 14 […]
Mike Marteny 3 years agoBobby Bradley (1B, CLE) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Bradley struggled in his September call-up in 2019 and didn't play last year due to the pandemic.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The positional eligibility alone is fantasy gold, but what if a guy is hitting .265 while providing that?
