If you've been following along with this series all season, you know the drill. If not, this [...]Keep on reading: Week 17 Starting Pitching Waiver Wire: Santana, Nola, Koehler & More

Congratulations to the women’s soccer team for grabbing the gold in the Women’s World Cup. For those of us that do not watch soccer too often…cough, cough, me….it was kind of fun to see an offensive explosion in the first 15 minutes of the game. Even more fun was seeing all the World War Two references on Twitter, Facebook and all of social media. Wonder what the over/under on how many of those references were made during that blitzkrieg to start the game? See, just got in another one. [...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 14 (Part 1)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed and NL-Only Leagues Ownership: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Braves’ top pitching prospect and a consensus Top 100 prospect overall, Matt Wisler can provide an immediate boost to fantasy teams in NL-only leagues and deep mixed leagues. The 22-year-old right-hander has performed well in the minors. He has a bulldog mentality on the mound that gives him the potential to be a strong middle-of-the-rotation starter, and a four-pitch repertoire with go[...]Keep on reading: Matt Wisler (SP, ATL) – Waiver Wire Pickups

This article references A, Dillon Gee, Kevin Siegrist, Matt Wisler, Mike Foltynewicz, SP, Trevor Rosenthal and more! A flock of demotions and injuries - both of the serious and nagging variety - have given a clear path to the starting rotation to a lot of studly young pitchers in the National League this season. Plucking one of the aforementioned studs can give you a serious leg up in the competition for the rest of this season, and who knows, you may even find a keeper along the way that can give your squad a boost for seasons to come. Consider the following starting pitchers if you have a glaring need for[...]Keep on reading: Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Wisler, Gray, Matz, Siegrist)

A lot can happen in the span of a week. A team can turn a couple of wins into an 11 game winning streak. Several teams can throw a few pitches and start a new rivalry for the season. The way the season is shaping up, it looks like the NL East could be one of the most interesting divisions in baseball after appearing in the offseason to only have one or two teams that could contend. With the Mets rattling off 11 straight wins, the Nationals have to at least be aware of the fact that the divis[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Three)

What have we here? It's a ranking of the top 30 MLB ready prospects. Some are in the majors and others are working their way to the top level. With the start of the season, there will be two additions to the power rankings. I've added an estimated time of arrival. I will also add the prospect’s stats from the season. The stats will NOT include RBI and R for hitters or W-L for pitchers because those numbers are team dependent. For hitters, I will provide plate appearances, a slash line, hom[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Two)

To be clear, this list is not the top 30 prospects in baseball. This is a list of the top 30 prospects who are likely going to rise to the major leagues and provide fantasy baseball value this season. The qualifications are simple: a player must not be on an active roster, they must have a clear path to the majors, and while they may have played in seasons prior to 2015, they must still have rookie eligibility. If a player is moved to the active roster of their team, they will be removed from t[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week One)
