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…

Fire - Odubel Herrera There were two very different sides to Odubel Herrera's 2017 season. On one hand, you've got Odubel the performer, bat-flipping like a madman. He will bat flip a walk. Some people love it, some people hate it, and in the interest of self-preservation I'll keep my stance to myself. In any case, there is also Odubel the fantasy asset, whom we are here to discuss. Herrera as a fantasy player is quite the opposite of his on the field persona. He is — dare I say — bland. Sure, there was his breakout 2016…

Now that we have moved past the initial and most important round of prospect call-ups (FINALLY Dustin Fowler gets the call), it’s time to take a look at the next crop of prospects who are doing everything they can in the minors to show that they are next Ronald Acuña or Walker Buehler.

An increased value can do…

The month of May is often a time of change in the fantasy world. Players getting off to slow starts are usually given the benefit of the doubt in April, but if those struggles stretch into May, the gloves come off. Once patient fantasy owners suddenly can't take it anymore and look to trade or dump slumping players. That's where you come in with the offers to buy low on these players. These buy-low offers are especially important in dynasty leagues, as you could potentially nab a star player without having to pay the star…

Saturday night marked Craig Kimbrel's 300th career save, placing him just two spots behind Fernando Rodney on the all-time career saves list. It also tied him 27th alongside Doug Jones and Jason Isringhausen. But while milestones make baseball fun, let's take a moment to discuss the state of the Red Sox bullpen.Over the last seven days, Boston's pen has pitched 26 innings, giving up 14 earned runs and secured just two saves. It's a drastic fall from grace, especially for a bullpen that finished 2017 with the second-best…
