Justin Smoak (1B, MIL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's a surprise that Smoak is just 7% owned. We covered him as a Week 1 waiver pick-up, and then he went out and started three straight games as the clean-up hitter for the Brewers. He went 3-11 with a HR and one RBI […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: With many baseball fans drooling over the potential of Gavin Lux, Chris Taylor was a fantasy afterthought until about a week ago.

Closer Conundrum: What Does Managing Like It's The Playoffs Mean?

"In a 60-game season, managers will approach every game like it's the playoffs." We've heard that refrain over and over again as we prepare for the 2020 fantasy baseball season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the Pirates putting Keone Kela on the injured list, the team is in the market for a new closer to start the season, and Kyle Crick may just be the right guy. The 27-year-old had an ugly season last year, impacted by […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Voth was a popular name in sleeper circles during spring training due to his breakthrough month-plus last year, but he seemed to be on the outside looking in for the fifth spot in the rotation. However, when Joe Ross decided to opt-out […]

Justin Smoak (1B, MIL) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Smoak is a big winner thanks to the universal DH and the new inter-divisional schedule. He figures to see regular at-bats for a Brewers team that has a top-10 schedule, and nearly 70% of Smoak's games will be in parks that are a […]
