Waiver Wire Report: 99 Problems But a Mitch Ain’t One

The theme for this week's waiver wire report is "not sexy." If you're looking for a pole and some Def Leppard music, move along. There will be no pouring of sugar this week. Splenda maybe, but not sugar. Unfortunately, not every week has stud prospects and hot waiver wire adds. There are only so many Walker Buehlers and Mike Sorokas to go around. It would be nice if those type of players were available every week, but that would be unrealistic and turn us into spoiled brats. Even without the high profile names, this…

Al Melchior’s Bold Predictions

With nearly all of my drafts and auctions in the rear view mirror, it's time to tally up the players who wound up on my rosters again and again. It's also an opportunity to take note of which players I avoided like an approaching swarm of bees. I'm carrying C.J.

He’s not close to being a game-changing talent and is probably replacement level. His 22 homers were tied…

With another full week of baseball coming up, it's always smart to check the waiver wire or scout for the occasional 'diamond in the rough' fantasy star found at a very cheap cost. Winning the waiver wire could be the difference between grabbing a few extra to land in the money or falling just short. Here's a few hitters that might be available on your league waiver wire or could be found at a relatively low cost against favorable pitching match ups. (Note: stats and numbers are as of June 2nd) Monday, June 5th: Aaron…
