2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17
Due to the All-Star break, there hasn't been much action since we reviewed the best middle infield waiver options last week - just two days' worth of games. As a result, I would still happily recommend everyone who was featured in this space at that time, though the Rays' handling of Vidal Brujan gives me... Read More

Josh Rojas (2B/SS/OF, ARI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rojas has been a streaky hitter throughout the season for the D-Backs. He started the year as the primary leadoff man but got off to a brutal start, hitting just .146 with a .520 OPS over the first 17 games of the year. He... Read More
Josh Harrison (2B/3B/OF, WSH) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Harrison has been a reliable hitter for the Nationals this year but it's mostly gone under the radar in the fantasy community. "J Hay" is a known commodity at this stage of his career so that could be why he's received little attention but... Read More
Leury Garcia (2B/3B/SS/OF, CWS) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Garcia has been logging more regular playing time than expected due to all of the injuries the White Sox have had this season.

Barrel Rate and Contact Rate, Who Can Do Both?
Hitting is, at the same time, completely simple and enormously complex. Hitting in the Major Leagues is arguably the most challenging thing to do in all of sports. I don't think I need to explain myself for saying that hitting is complex. I can't do it, probably neither can you. The reason I say it's... Read More
Taking a Mulligan - Second-Half Rebound Candidates
We've reached the All-Star Break, which means the baseball season is just over halfway done. Let me repeat that: we still have three months to go! I think some of us are still operating in the mindset of the shortened 2020 season and are thinking that our fantasy seasons are over if we're not in... Read More
Improving Hitters to Watch in the Second Half
We have more than three months of baseball in the books. It has been a glorious spring and summer with the return of the 162 game schedule. While it was nice for MLB to sneak in 60 games and some expanded playoffs in 2020 after we feared a full season cancellation, it really just didn't... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/17/21): MLB DFS Lineups
This is one of the more straight forward Saturday MLB slates in a while. We only have three early games and two teams that had the audacity to start an hour earlier than everyone else. That leaves a ten-game main Saturday slate, which is the largest in some time. Hopefully we don't have all of... Read More

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 16
Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column.

I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each... Read More
Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 16
How about that Home Run Derby? I'm not even a Mets fan but Pete Alonso is definitely one of my favorite non-White Sox players out there. That man can destroy a baseball. The day before the derby we got to see some of the rising star prospects in the Futures Game. The National League prospects... Read More
Statcast Leaderboard - Exit Velocity Midseason Review
It's All-Star time, sadly. I say that because there is precious little baseball to watch this week. This presents the opportunity for reflection, so we will once again look back on the first half leaderboard for Statcast. This time, we will review the top players in average exit velocity, hard hit rate, and barrels. As... Read More

Enrique Hernandez (2B/SS/OF, BOS) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: When we last saw Kike Hernandez (pronounced KEE-KAY), he was mashing lefties for the Dodgers for the last few years. That limited his chances. His career high in at-bats is 414, set in 2019 when the Dodgers had a lot of... Read More
Leury Garcia (2B/SS/3B/OF, CWS) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating isn't it? If you have been playing fantasy baseball in any capacity over the last several years, you know the book on Leury Garcia by heart by now. In 2017,... Read More
Jace Peterson (1B/2B/3B/OF, MIL) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating isn't it? A look as the surface suggests nothing special about Peterson. The .255 average is, well, average. Four homers and 20 RBI is below average. Peterson has made a... Read More
Starlin Castro (2B/3B, WAS) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: The pandemic hit some players harder than others. Castro was one of the ones that felt it the worst of players that still played. After playing every game in 2019 with the Marlins and setting a career high with 21 home... Read More
Luis Urias (2B/SS/3B, MIL) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating, isn't it? The .279 BABIP in the first half is a touch low, so there is hope that the .237 average can increase a little. Still, who can't use 14... Read More
