Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13
The topic of the week is spin rate, with the crackdown on foreign substances sending shockwaves throughout the pitching landscape of baseball.

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13
We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have once again been littered with injuries. Both good and bad things arise from injuries.

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13
Major League Baseball will begin checking pitchers for foreign substances starting Monday. Forget that this has always been something for which umpires were supposed to be checking.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 13 Waiver Wire
Quite a sticky situation in baseball this week, huh? That's just in reference to some of the bullpen issues, why, what did you think I meant?

First base and third base have been a struggle thus far in the fantasy season.

Is Streaming Catchers a Smart Strategy?
The common adage is that you should be streaming at catcher, but sometimes I think we cling to that a little too tightly. We buy into the easy narratives of "Catchers can't hit" and "Don't waste high picks or FAAB on catchers" but I've always believed it was an oversimplification. Yes, the deeper your league...
