Ji-man Choi Goes 3-for-5 and homers from the leadoff spot

They needed all they could get out of Choi, just squeaking out the 10-9 victory over the Jays. His seventh inning home run turned the game manageable and allowed the back to back home runs from Adames and Heredia to tie it up. Choi has been great against righties (.349 wOBA) and will continue hitting […]

Tom Murphy (C, COL) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Murphy has been getting some playing time of late against lefties, and he’s simply massacring the baseball.

Niko Goodrum (1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, DET) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If there’s a word to describe Niko Goodrum, it’s versatile. It’s not that he’s eligible for a ton of positions, either, though it doesn’t hurt. On the season, Goodrum has 20 doubles, nine home runs and four triples. He’s added 11 […]

Marwin Gonzalez (1B, 2B 3B, SS, OF, MIN) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  The Twins have become the fastest team in MLB history to 200 home runs.

Jorge Alfaro (C, MIA) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Jorge Alfaro is a great backup catcher.

Anthony Desclafani (SP, CIN) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Desclafani is a guy we’ve seen go up and down plenty, but one thing has always remained constant. He is terrible against lefties and great vs righties. The addition of a slider has exemplified that. Against righties, a 3.19 xFIP and […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Heyward has leveled back off in July, after posting a .389 wOBA in June. He’s still worth an add, though, as he remains in the middle of the Cubs lineup and has posted a .366 wOBA against righties with 13 home […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  It still remains to be seen whether or not Luis Robert will see the major leagues this season, but he certainly should.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Bubba Starling doesn’t have an everyday role just yet, but he’s the fourth outfielder and he’s already shown how productive he can be.

Zac Gallen (SP, MIA) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Gallen is someone who would be 100% owned, if everyone was fully educated. He’s a lot better than most starting pitchers that are owned and is pitching in a ballpark that will protect a rookie like no other. Everyone was waiting […]

Leury Garcia (SS/OF, CWS) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If you’re in need of an all-around outfielder and can’t risk a ton of strikeouts, Leury Garcia is a phenomenal option.

Yandy Diaz (1B/3B, TB) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Diaz is becoming more and more popular and should find himself over 50% owned very soon.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Strickland will make a short rehab stint in Rainier, expecting to join the big league club after just one three-game series.

Jeff Samardzija (SP/ SFG) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  The San Francisco Giants have won 13 of their last 15 games and are looking a lot better at the plate. They’re surely not one of the top teams in the league, but it’s fair to say they’ve turned a corner […]

Jason Heyward (OF, CHC) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If Heyward is going to continue coming to the plate with runners all over the bases, it’s hard to see him slowing down. He’s up to 43 RBI on the season and his wOBA against right-handers is up to .379. He’s […]
