Corey Dickerson (OF, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only Leagues; Scout in Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: With Michael Cuddyer hitting the DL, Corey Dickerson will has a very good path to see steady playing time in the Colorado Rockies lineup.  He took that opportunity and ran with it on Monday night, going 3-for-4 with a HR, 2B, 2 RBI and even […]

Erasmo Ramirez (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Add immediately you say? Yes, if not sooner! Orgasmo Ramirez was orgasmic last night, going 7 strong with a nasty 6:0 K:BB ratio, while allowing just 6 hits and 2 ER.  This was a significant start for Ramirez, against a stacked Angels' lineup including the best baseball player in the world, ya […]

Josmil Pinto (C, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting, Add in 2 Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Pinto put up .342-4-12 in just 76 AB last year. Small sample size blah blah blah.  The point is he has big time potential. We're not expecting him to go .342-20-80 over 500 AB. Far from it.  But we do expect that he'll be ingrained as the […]

David Freese (3B, LAA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: David Freese is coming off what was basically a lost season for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he will get a new opportunity in 2014 with the offense-riched Angels. It's not exactly clear where in the order he will bat, probably in the 6 to 8 range, but even in that lineup […]

Kenbrell Thompkins (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (Standard Leagues) ANALYSIS: The rookie Thompkins only had 3 catches on 7 targets in the Pats' 23-3 trouncing of the Bucs, but Thompkins and Brady were at least on the same page in the redzone. Two of his 3 catches went for TDs, giving him a great fantasy line. Thompkins remains a high […]

Josh Gordon (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (All League Types) ANALYSIS: Gordon is owned in 71% of leagues already so he's not your typical RotoBaller waiver wire add. That said, he's worth mentioning because of how dominant he was in his first game back from suspension in week 3.  Gordon torched the Vikings with newly installed Browns QB Brian Hoyer. […]

Willis McGahee (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: McGahee is taking a physical now, but once he passes it (if he passes it, that is), we expect him to sign with the Browns.  If you haven't heard, the Browns shipped out Trent Richardson to the Colts and are left with a gaping hole at RB. The old and […]

Donald Brown (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (12+ Teams with deep bench) ANALYSIS: Meet the Colts' new backup running back.  Vick Ballard tore his ACL and is done for the year. Brown has never been much to write home about, but he instantly becomes kinda fantasy relevant in deep leagues. Ahmad Bradshaw is the #1 but he's had […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (All Leagues) ANALYSIS: Cutler had a very respectable Week One performance versus a good Bengals defense, going 21-for-33 with 242 yards, two TD and one INT.  He wasn't sacked once, which is big positive sign considering the Bengals’ front four.  It means that Cutler was able to get rid of the […]

Doug Baldwin (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep PPR Leagues (12+ Teams) ANALYSIS: Baldwin showed nice chemistry with Russel Wilson on Sunday, catching seven passes for 91 yards vs. very stout looking Carolina defense. Baldwin gets an even tougher matchup this week vs. San Francisco, so you should keep him on the bench for that game for sure. That […]

Jerome Simpson (WR, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Vikings wideout Jerome Simpson had a great game this past weekend with seven catches for 140 yards. Yes I know what you're thinking, if he could do that each week then he'd be...well, he'd be a top 5 receiver in the NFL, ha!  The reality is Christian Ponder is the QB for the […]

Christian Yelich (OF, FLA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Yelich struggled out of the gate, but he has always been an extremely high-end prospect with big time upside. He's finally found his groove: over the past week in 25 AB, he's hit 1 HR with 4 RBI, 4 Runs and 3 SB all the while batting a nasty .480. […]

Eric Young (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Eric Young is on fire recently with 4 SB, 8 Runs and a .355 BA over the past week. If you have some formerly hot slugger (Dom Brown, cough cough), and play in a non-keeper league, feel free to drop that dead weight for a hot player like Young. If […]

Ivan Nova (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Nova was just dominant against the Orioles on the 31st. He pitched a CG shutout vs. a team that usually owns right handed pitching. Nova allowed just 3 hits and a walk to go along with 5 K, and he's now allowed more than 2 ER only once in his […]

Tyson Ross (SP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Aside from a couple 4 ER outings, Ross has been dominant over his last 8 starts, not allowing more than 2 ER in the other 6 and racking up a filthy 58/15 K/BB ratio in just 51.1 IP. Ross pitches in the most friendly pitchers park in the big leagues […]

Coco Crisp (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS:  Although he's had a somewhat disappointing 2013 season, Crisp has 4 HR, 5 RBI and 8 Runs in his past 5 games. He is ON FIRE right now and Coco's tears have been known to vault teams up in the standings. He brings a nice blend of production at the […]

Jason Castro (C, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Castro wasn't drafted in most leagues, and he's now ranked #7 overall for Catchers in 2013. That should tell you all you need to know if you're in a league with more than 7 teams - he should be owned! Only 1 catcher (Rosario) has put up better numbers than […]

Matt Dominguez (3B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Dominguez is doing his thing again - hitting bunches of homers and driving in runs with a low BA. Over the past 8 days, he's jacked 4 bombs with 7 RBI and 8 Runs. With 18 HR on the year in 430 AB you know this 23 year […]

Xander Bogaerts (SS, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Bogaerts is only 28% owned in Yahoo! leagues which is really low even for a guy who is only slated to play part time. Most of you have benches, and they should be used for guys like Bogaerts. He is a super-high-upside prospect and has the ability to […]

Mark Reynolds (3B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems like the Yankees just LOVE filling their entire lineup with low average, high strikeout power hitters. Reynolds fits that mold, and as you all know by now he's pretty worthless 80% of the season. But the other 20% he's nailz. He hit a 3-run bomb in […]

Cody Asche (3B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Asche has been surprisingly productive for the Phillies since being recalled, and particularly over the past week in which he's batted .348 with 2 HR, 6 RBI, 7 R, and 1 SB. His ceiling is limited-- he won't hit for a ton of power or a ton of […]

Brad Peacock (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Look up "post-hype sleeper" in the dictionary and you'll find Peacock. He was a highly touted prospect in the Nats' farm system, but he struggled in his first few stints in the majors. In Triple-A this year though, he's been dominant, throwing 79 IP with a 72/22 K/BB […]

Erik Bedard (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Bedard has pitched well for the Astros with a 4.28 ERA and 95 K in 103 innings this season. More importantly, he has 26 K over his last 22.2 IP, but he also has four losses in that span. So basically, Bedard won't win any games for you […]
