It's hard to believe that we are already in the final couple of months of the 2014 MLB regular season. It is now or never for those fantasy owners looking to make a move up the standings and into contention for a title, and while many of the season's top waiver wire pickups have been snatched up long ago, the good news is that you don't necessarily need a player that can produce solid numbers for an entire season. A player that finishes the year on a high note can be just as useful, if not more [...] Keep on reading: Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

This article references 2B, Chase Headley, Chris Johnson, Josh Harrison, Josh Rutledge, Lucas Duda, SP, Stephen Vogt, Troy Tulowitzki and more! It has been a little more than a week since baseball returned to action following the All-Star break, and if you failed to use the time off to make roster adjustments, it's not too late. Several players at the corner infield spots have exploded out of the break and look poised to be useful contributors or sleepers depending on your league size and format down the stretch of the 2014 season. On that note, here is a closer look at some potential waiver wire pickups to target. Third Base[...] Keep on reading: Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

This article references Lucas Duda and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep LeaguesANALYSIS: Lucas Duda, the Mets' first baseman, is enjoying by far the best season of his career, with the 16 home runs he has already surpassed his previous career high of 15. His 51 RBIs is just shy of his career-high 57 set in 2012, and he needs just two more runs scored to tie his career-best of 43. He is playing everyday for the first time in his five- years in the big leagues, and is rewarding the Mets for giving him that opportunity. He is still struggl[...] Keep on reading: Lucas Duda (1B, NYM) -- Waiver Wire Pickups

The 2014 MLB season has reached the All-Star break, and while a few days off gives the players time to regroup and recharge, it also offers fantasy owners a chance to do the same.

This article references Lucas Duda and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep LeaguesANALYSIS: Right off the bat (no pun intended) I'll say Lucas Duda intrigues me. He has moderate power and can hit the ball as hard as any major leaguer, which we have known for a while. Duda has proven to be serviceable and for actual Met fans he has been pretty clutch too. On the year his numbers are solid, .252 BA, .348 OBP, and a .473 SLG. He has 12 homers and 42 RBIs in just 246 ABs, which puts him on pace for 30/100 with a full season of at bats.  The [...] Keep on reading: Lucas Duda (1B / OF, NYM) -- Waiver Wire Pickups

Some of these starting pitcher sleepers are vets putting together decent stretches, while others are potential front line starters establishing themselves. I hope that you are able to find something to your liking that can give you an edge on the competition. Lucas Duda - OF, NYMOwned in 17% of Yahoo LeaguesDuda has been the Mets biggest threat as of late.

This is the first in a series of articles in which we will evaluate potential fantasy baseball sleepers by looking at deeper statistics and advanced sabermetrics. Today we are going to try and project four hitters that should see increased production in the home runs category during the hot summer months. If you are in need of HRs for your fantasy team, these hitters may still be available on the waiver wire of many leagues, or it shouldn't be too hard to trade for them if they are alrea[...] Keep on reading: Projecting Home Run Sleepers Using HR/FB Rate

I was away this weekend on another mini vacation (Monterey this time), but baseball never tops. Don't think a romantic weekend away precluded me from doing my duty though. I sat there, looking at the waves crash on the beach, as I put in my bids for the waiver-wire this week. Here's how it went [...]

Each week I'll be here answering questions that have been sent to me at the BaseballGuys' Twitter account. Eric Hosmer and Brandon Morrow too much for Adrian Gonzalez? 14 tm mixed keeper. -- @strofaninKC Hosmer is hitting .204 with a .617 OPS disappointing everyone who drafted him to be a starter at first base this [...]

In 2010 Delmon Young was a star. Not only did he finish one hit from a .300 season, he also bashed a career best 21 homers and socked 46 doubles. Young also knocked in 112 runs, the 8th highest total in baseball, more than Robinson Cano (109), Mark Teixeira (108), Ryan Howard (108), Evan Longoria [...]
