Vance Worley will get an opportunity to earn a spot in the Orioles' rotation Sunday afternoon against the Rays. Worley beat out Tyler Wright or the fifth starter spot, though he may be on a strict pitch count in his first start. [...]

I’ve decided to switch things up this week's edition of my starting pitcher waiver wire column. This week’s article will feature pitchers currently on the DL who are expected to return sometime this year, and who I believe can be fantasy assets for pitcher needy squads or teams with open DL slots. I’m a huge proponent of filling your DL slots so if you have some space listen up. Big disclaimer: If the Baller Move is to “Add in all leagues”, that is only if you have a free DL slot. D[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups and Analysis: The DL Edition (Week 7)

Happ, James Paxton, Michael Lorenzen, Roenis Elias, SP, Travis Wood, Tyler Lyons, Vance Worley, Wandy Rodriguez and more! Usually in the later parts of the MLB season, the future starting pitcher of several days in advance for most teams is listed as TBD. To Be Determined, to be exact. This is due to several variables, but mostly due to injuries and/or minor leaguers being called to the majors so that coaches can scout the future. This is the norm. Over the last year or so, TBD has shown up more often than not earlier in the season. This could be because teams are more cautious about overusing pitchers' arms tha[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 6 (Part2)

One month down, five months to go--unless you’re trapped in the Twilight Zone of small samples, luck (both good and bad) and inconsistency that accompany daily fantasy baseball. It's an exercise in futility, but I digress. In season-long traditional fantasy baseball formats, playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played (I sound like my dad right now), the marathon is just getting started. For fantasy owners who got off to turbulent starts in April, don't worry because May is the ti[...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Stock Watch: Relievers On The Rise in Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues and NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Although his rec-specs might fool you into thinking he's an old man, Vance Worley is only four years removed from his fantastic 2011 season in which he finished third for NL rookie of the year. In his 2011 season Worley finished with a 3.01 ERA and a 3.32 FIP (Fielder Independent Pitching). FIP isolates a pitcher's sole performance and indicates how well he pitched without the influence of[...]Keep on reading: Vance Worley (SP, PIT) – Waiver Wire Analysis

Pittsburgh GM Neal Huntington either really knows what he's doing, or else maybe he's feeding newly acquired Pirates' pitchers a sweet nectar oozing out of the Allegheny River.  For the second straight season, Huntington has struck gold by signing a seemingly over-the-hill veteran starting pitcher to a relatively cheap contract with amazing results.  Last season it was Francisco Liriano, who only finished 16-8 with a 3.02 ERA and a 15% K-BB rate, with a $1 million restructured deal.  In[...] Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 26 (Part 1)

As far as division winners, it's becoming clear that Washington and Baltimore will more than likely take theirs, but every other division race could come down to the final days.  As for the wild card chases, it appears the frontrunners are set for the first wild card slot but both leagues have several teams jockeying for that second spot.  Even my weekly punching bag Yankees are making things interesting in a crowded AL [...] Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 21 (Part 1)

This article references SP, Vance Worley and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in Most LeaguesANALYSIS: Vance Worley has made quite a resurgence with the Bucs this year after getting rocked on a consistent basis to the tune of a 7.21 ERA in 2013 with the Twins. Now back in the National League, he has regained his form, with a 2.43 ERA in 55.2 innings pitched. He has essentially gotten rid of his changeup from his repertoire and increased the use of his curveball this year. It is not as if Worley is inducing more ground balls, but pitching in the pitcher'[...] Keep on reading: Vance Worley (SP, PIT) -- Waiver Wire Pickups
