Johnny Peralta and Carlos Pena: Waiver Wire
In today’s edition of the Waiver Wire, we take a look at two tigers and a cub. Oh my.
Joel Pineiro and Rick Porcello: Waiver Wire
Today’s Waiver Wire focuses on two ground ball pitchers who are enjoying good starts to their seasons, even though no one seems to be noticing.
Joel Pineiro: 11% owned
After five seasons (2004-2008) of being nearly unownable in anything other than deep AL or NL only leagues, Joel Pineiro has seen his career, both in real life and fantasy, rejuvenated by the addition of a sinker. He was taught the pitch by St. Louis pitching coach Dave Duncan while with the Cardinals in 2008. The next season he saw ground ball percentage jump 60.5%, more than 12 points higher than the season before. Pineiro also saw his ERA, FIP, and xFIP get below 4.00, the first time any of them had been that low since 2003. He took his new found success to Anaheim where he only pitched 152 innings, but won 10 games and had a very respectable triple slash line (ERA, FIP, xFIP) of 3.84/3.84/3.73.
Mike Fontenot and Cody Ross: Waiver Wire for May 11th
Join us this week on Bottom of the Barrel Scrapers as we look at a stopgap infielder with multi-position eligibility and a former playoff hero who just might have found his stroke in 2011. They may not be the tastiest treats on the fantasy dessert buffet, but hey…they’ve each got a World Series ring. That’s something, right? Read the rest of this entry »
Mike Wilson and Carlos Peguero: Deep League WW Mariners Edition
May 11, 2011
On Monday, the Milton Bradley era in Seattleland ended, as the board game man received the dreaded DFA. Oh, and Ryan Langerhans got the boot too, but he is probably used to it by now. With a team going nowhere and an offense struggling yet again to score runs, might as well see if they have anyone younger who might provide a jolt to the lineup. A pair of outfielders received the call, let’s see if they have any fantasy potential in deeper leagues.
David Ross, Jason Pridie, Greg Dobbs: Deep League Waiver Wire
In today’s edition of the Deep League Waiver Wire, we look at three options that may not be great, but who are worth your time in the short-term.
Juan Uribe, Todd Helton and Omar Infante: Waiver Wire
In today’s edition of the Waiver Wire, we look at three players who have all been around awhile.
Yunesky Maya: Mining the Minors
For those of you wondering, yes, go pick up Royals prospect Eric Hosmer, if he’s still available in your league. The first baseman has been called up sooner than expected — leading the minors in average and on-base percentage will do that — and will be in Friday’s lineup. He’s going to take over the starting job, and he’s worth a shot in every league, even 10-team mixed, on the chance that one of baseball’s best prospects translates his talents to the big-league level immediately. If so, we could be looking at this year’s Buster Posey.
Now back to your regularly-scheduled Mining the Minors programming, as we take a look at another minor-leaguer who could soon be making his own way to the majors, even if he’s not quite as highly-regarded.
Jack Hanahan and Eduardo Sanchez: Waiver Wire May 4th
Like vultures picking every last piece of meat off a carcass in the hot desert sun, it’s time for us to take another look at the waiver wire and see what remaining pieces of fantasy value lie in the pool of unwanted free agents… Read the rest of this entry »
