L.J. Hoes (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting / Add In Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Seemingly a throw-in player for the deal between for Astros and Orioles for starter Bud Norris, L.J.

Felix Doubront (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: After shutting out the Giants tonight on the road to the tune of 8 IP, a 1.13 WHIP and the Win, it is safe to say that Felix Doubront is at least worth a flier in deeper mixed formats (as he is most likely 100% owned in your... Read More
Devin Mesoraco (C, CIN)
BALLER MOVE: Add In Deep Leagues (2 Catcher Leagues Must Add) ANALYSIS: Devin Mesoraco has quietly put together some stellar numbers over the the past 14 days at the Catcher position for the Reds and is owned in only 8% of Yahoo leagues.
