On Sunday, four more were inducted into baseball immortality. Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio officially changed residences to Cooperstown and smiled as moldings of their likeness were mounted inside hallowed grounds. As far as this author is concerned, every one of these players deserves the awards. Biggio was an on-base machine and one of the greatest offensive second basemen of all time. Though never a fan of the Braves, Smoltz was the only player I really liked[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 17 (Part 1)

OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If someone were to ask you who the best pitcher in 2015 has been for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the answer should be Robbie Ray. Chase Anderson had a nice first half, but ever since Robbie Ray was inserted into the rotation back in early June, he has been the captain of the D'Backs staff. After being a forgotten entity in both the Washington Nationals and Detroit Tigers organizations, Ray has foun[...]Keep on reading: Robbie Ray (SP, AZ) – Waiver Wire Pickups

The All Star break is done. The Game of Thrones season is over. True Detective has been borderline atrocious. And football season is still nearly a month away. There is literally nothing to hold anyone back from going all in on their fantasy baseball teams. It’s imperative for dynasty league owners at this time to figure out if they are 2015 contenders or playing for the future. Not to be outdone, it’s equally important for owners in Al-only and/or NL-only leagues to pay attention to any [...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 15 Weekend

BALLER MOVE: Stream in NL-Only and Deep Mixed Leagues Ownership: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After a hot stretch, the Rangers have cooled considerably against left-handed pitchers as of late. With a 23.5% K rate and a wRC+ of 82, the Rangers are among the worst teams against southpaws in the majors. Meanwhile, Robbie Ray is beginning to show flashes of the brilliance he displayed as a prospect in the minors.

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.

We've reached that point in the season when current production outweighs our pre-season expectations or what we thought we knew about a pitcher. The starters at the back end of fantasy rotations are the most volatile assets on the entire roster. They can be easily discarded after a bad outing, or ride a hot streak into a permanent roster spot. No matter how confident you feel with your current allotment of starters, there is always room for improvment. What follows in this week's edition o[...]Keep on reading: Stock Watch: Let’s Go Streaming, Starting Pitcher Pickups

Most teams are going to have a couple of starters pitching twice in a week. This 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 fan[...]Keep on reading: Top Five Two-Start Pitcher Streamers & Sleepers for Week 11
