Before the season, it seemed as if the AL Central was going to be a three horse race, with an outside shot of a fourth horse playing spoiler. Most baseball pundits picked the Tigers, some went with the Royals, another fraction went with the Indians and most thought the White Sox would make some noise. Kansas City was going to compete with their pitching, specifically that stellar bullpen, while the Tigers were going to ride their stars toward the playoffs. If there was a team that nearly ever[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 9 (Part 1)

Happ, Jerome Williams, Marco Estrada, Mike Leake, Shaun Marcum, SP, Tsuyoshi Wada, Wandy Rodriguez and more! When is it too soon to start talking about contenders and pretenders? Memorial Day represents roughly one-quarter of the baseball season completed as most teams are around the 45 games played mark. It’s important to iterate that no team is knocked out at this point in the season, but one can get the feeling that certain teams are destined for the golf course come October. And the one underlying factor at play for most of the last place teams is pitching. Of the six last place teams, four - [...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 8 (Part 1)

This article references A, Chris Sale, Clayton Kershaw, Gio Gonzalez, Hector Santiago, Jose Quintana, Julio Teheran, Madison Bumgarner, Michael Wacha, Mike Leake, Shelby Miller, SP and more! Last week’s Buy/Sell column was published the morning of the 16th. That didn’t give you time to trade Mike Leake before he got destroyed by the Giants that afternoon (while wearing that Reds/2015/05/16/giants-vs-reds-may-16/27471573/">horrendous jersey, no less), but hopefully you were persuaded to bench him. Meanwhile, Michael Wacha and Julio Teheran tossed gems. I encourage you to take advantage by divesting yourselves of them post-haste. But enough about all that. We must look forwa[...]Keep on reading: Week 8 Buy and Sell Pitchers for Fantasy Baseball

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)

This article references A, Alex Wood, Andrelton Simmons, Atlanta Braves, Bryce Harper, Carlos Martinez, Chris Sale, Clay Buchholz, Corey Kluber, Julio Teheran, Michael Wacha, Mike Leake, SP, Stephen Strasburg and more! Corey Kluber led off last week’s buys. If you took that advice to heart and were able to strike a deal, you’re sitting pretty after his dazzling 18-strikeout performance against the Cardinals. That’s assuming you didn’t bench him against one of the best teams in baseball, as many Kluber owners did. Obviously you can’t predict or expect historic performances like that, but both Kluber and Chris Sale (who I nearly included in last week’s buys as well) showed in their last starts why ac[...]Keep on reading: Week 7 Buy and Sell Pitchers for Fantasy Baseball

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
