The Case for Punting Saves Midseason
Over the first eight weeks of the 2017 season, 14 teams underwent a change in the closer’s role, whether as a result of injury or ineffectiveness. Two of those teams, the Nationals and the Phillies, are on their third arm. Some of these clubs have since turned back to their original ninth-inning man, but the... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers (Week 10): Head-to-Head Leagues
As a new week is upon us, it's time to get rid of that bench bat or middle reliever you have hanging around. Instead, maximize your roster slots with some pitchers who have two starts this week and are probably still available in your league. Here are the top two-start pitchers to stream for Week...

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 10
Now may be a good time to mention that I advocated picking up Justin Bour back on May 1, although in a different column. Rather than simply calling him a waiver wire pickup or streamer, I'm going all in on the big man. Never let it be said that I'm not an unabashed fan of... Read More
Hitter Streamers (Week 10): Head-to-Head Leagues
Welcome back, RotoBallers! As a reminder, in this piece we're looking for weekly streamers in head-to-head leagues, which means players who are 50% owned or less in Yahoo! leagues and who have seven games in the week. These players could provide great value off the waiver wire, particularly in head-to-head leagues, for week 10 of... Read More

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 9
Another quiet week in the world of bullpens, and few fantasy owners will complain about that. After a whirlwind of moves to start the season that lasted through most of April and May, it's been oddly comforting to have two weeks straight where bullpens allow us to relax. But, as always, it wasn't a completely quiet week,... Read More

Week 9 Waiver Wire: Catchers
Once again, it seems like catchers have about as much forward momentum, stat-wise, as Buster Posey did when he rushed out to protect Hunter Strickland after Bryce Harper charged the mound. Oh... wait. Anyways, when I open the statistics page for catchers, this is what I feel like doing when I see nearly the same... Read More

Week 9 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers
Two months are (basically) in the books and we are officially off of the rails here. Mike Trout is injured, Bryce Harper’s suspended and every single pitcher is just one sneeze away from a DL stint. One thing I notice with pieces like these are that the same arms seem to hover around the ownership... Read More
Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 9
Welcome back, RotoBallers! We are now in the midst of the MLB season, so it's a good time to look at some key offensive trends. Among those trends we will follow each week is contact rate.

Week 9 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)
Small sample sizes have now become reasonably big enough for us to make some informed decisions. It's unlikely you'll find any potential 30-HR bats still available on the waiver wire at this point, but streaming the right players each week can be extremely helpful even if you aren't in a head-to-head league. The corner infield... Read More
