BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues and Deep Leagues (14+ Teams) OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm still a little hesitant on fully endorsing Alfredo Simon this season, but he's doing his best to convince me that he's at least worth a bench spot in deep leagues. In 2015, the 33-year-old right-hander is 4-1 with a 3.13 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. His FIP (3.27) suggests he's been pretty good, too, and that his success has not been the result of a few lucky bounces. In fact, if anyt[...]Keep on reading: Alfredo Simon (SP, DET) – Waiver Wire Pickups

There is a saying during the NBA playoffs: ‘It ain’t a series until the home team loses,’ or something like that. There is a similar saying for MLB that goes, “it ain’t a season until a manager melts down.” Okay maybe that saying doesn’t exist. But it sure feels like it does. Recently, Reds manager Bryan Price unleashed a profanity-laced tirade against Reds beat reporter C. Trent Rosecrans and the media. Seemingly blaming Rosecrans for his team’s miscues, Price dropped a certa[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 3 (Part 2)

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 would 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 given week, which in turn raises their value as a streaming option and weekly sleepers. In this weekly column, I’ll be looking at my top five two-start pitchers that you should consider streaming for yo[...]Keep on reading: Top Five Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week Three
