This article references Adam Lind, Cruz, Nelson Cruz, Robinson Cano and more! Adam Lind had a successful season in 2015 with the Milwaukee Brewers. After a career-high .321 BA with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014, the first baseman hit 20 HR with 87 RBI in his first season with Milwaukee over 149 games. The slugger will play for his third team in three years after being traded to the Seattle Mariners during the off-season. This setting could be very productive for Lind as he will be hitting in the middle of a lineup that has Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano in it. This cou[...]Keep on reading: Adam Lind Set For Best Fantasy Season Yet In 2016

For a guy like Adam Lind who has 18 HR, 79 RBI, a .290 batting average, and a .861 OPS in 428 AB this season? Adam Lind has been on fire in his last 29 AB, hitting one HR, 12 RBI, while producing a .414 batting average, and a 1.242 OPS. Lind also produces phenomenal splits with a .915 OPS vs. RHP, and a .966 OPS at home in Milwaukee. Lind has been the picture of power consistency throughout the[...]Keep on reading: Adam Lind (1B, MIL) – Waiver Wire Pickups

Save for one, each of the players we’ll cover today enjoys eligibility at multiple positions – either the middle infield or catcher. Especially in extreme formats (both deep leagues and leagues with small  benches), these types offer excellent flexibility to owners looking to squeeze every bit of blood from the stone of their roster. No matter what scoring your league employs, being able to completely fill your lineup every day with players who are actually on the field is a great way to[...]Keep on reading: Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 20

Welcome to the All-Star break, which gives us the chance to catch our breath roughly halfway through the marathon of the regular season. Rather than the composite approach we took to our preseason rankings, we're offering tiered rankings for each position. I had planned to name each tier after Coen Brothers films, but Alex Chamberlain beat me to the punch. So even though he doesn't have No Country for Old Men or Fargo as the top tier and is therefore objectively wrong, I'm not going to steal [...]Keep on reading: Fantasy Baseball Midseason Rankings: First Base

This article references 1B, A, Adam Lind, C, OF, Ryan Braun, SP and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Lind is about as consistent a bat as you can find available on the wire. First base is usually a pretty deep position so it's easy to overlook Lind. His Achilles heel is that he struggles against southpaws, but then again most lefty batters do. He is hitting .307 against righties, but still a semi-respectable .233 against left-handers. In other words, you don't need to platoon him although if you have a goo[...]Keep on reading: Adam Lind (MIL, 1B) – Waiver Wire Pickups

Stoneface (micro)brewery on the Seacoast of New Hampshire is FANTASTIC. Hidden in a warehouse space in a commercial office park near the highway. It has no particular appeal, other than the beer. No restaurant or bar, just a concrete floor with kegs, boxes and stacks of beer surrounding a counter with taps for tasting and filling growlers. Nothing Flashy, just great beer. They have this American IPA, referred to as Stoneface IPA, and it’s the winner. It’s the best beer. It’s a perfect b[...]Keep on reading: Cut List (Week 12): Players to Consider Cutting Bait On . . .

This article references A, Adam Lind, SP and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve waxed on about my love for Adam Lind enough times in this column that I won’t bore you with a long-winded rewrite. After his early season surge, Lind is slowly but surely turning on the gas again. He’s hit .375 through the month of June with a home run and 10 RBI. During this time, Lind has been the ultimate evidence that even on a weak offense like that of the Milwaukee Brewers, a locked in cle[...]Keep on reading: Adam Lind (1B, MIL) – Waiver Wire Pickups

This article references A, Adam Lind, Brett Lawrie, Maikel Franco, Mitch Moreland, SP and more! Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season. This can be especially true at the infield corners, an area where the stars are readily scooped up and finding a low cost alternative can be often difficult. Here at RotoBaller, we're always looking for ways to help our readers succeed in all aspects of the game. With that aim in mind, each week I'll be bringing you my recommendations for which waiver wire 1st and 3rd basemen shoul[...]Keep on reading: First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 11

Below are my top MLB hitter streamer options for Week 10 of fantasy baseball. All players listed here are under 50% owned in fantasy leagues and play seven games this week. There is less streaming talent available than other weeks, but if you need to take a flier, these are your guys. Streaming hitters is a great way to increase production and fantasy stats off the waiver wire for your head-to-head matchups, or if you're dealing with some underperformers on your roster. Check back weekly for[...]Keep on reading: Top Hitter Streamers for Week 10: Head-to-Head or Weekly Leagues

This article references A, Adam Lind, Brandon McCarthy, Carlos Carrasco, Colby Lewis, Danny Duffy, Dillon Gee, Jake Arrieta, Mike Leake, Noah Syndergaard, SP, Zack Wheeler and more! Quality over quantity. Every fantasy owner knows this. But when looking at the starting pitcher free agent waiver wire for the coming week, ideally you'd like to have a guy that is going to be on the mound more than once. Most teams are going to have a couple of starters pitching twice in a week, which in turn raises their value as streaming options and weekly sleepers. In this weekly column, I’ll be looking at my top five two-start pitchers that you should consider streaming for your fantasy [...]Keep on reading: Top Five Two-Start Pitchers for Week Six
