Waiver Wire Week 12 - Welcome Back, Heriberto

Apologies for Teng, ouch. Heriberto Hernandez Heriberto's turnaround happened in the blink of an eye, and he's now sitting at a 51st percentile sweet-spot after hovering right around the 5th percentile before his demotion to AAA. This is nothing short of incredible, and of course we're fucking happy, because Heriberto was one of our most fun sleeper guys in 2025. His 5 stolen bases and 85th…

Waiver Wire Week 11 (In Progress)

Hello folks, and welcome back to the weekly waiver wire post! Hunter Gaddis & Tim Herrin In Sabrowski's absence, Hunter Gaddis and Tim Herrin have combined for 11 combined saves+holds for the Guardians. Both are widely available, and if you buy them in tandem, you're essentially buying the entire high-leverage Guardians' bullpen. Oh, and of course, they're good! Looking at Hunter Gaddis, the age…

Waiver Wire Week 10 - Pitchers Paradise

Christian Scott, SP, Mets The Scott is hot, and we're talking about only a single run given up in his last 10.2 innings! Yesterday's start was as close to being a 'gem' as a start can get, with a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 4 K/BB, and 8 Ks over 5.0 innings pitched. A healthier WHIP and a quality start would have taken this outing to the next level, but that just means you have a better chance of…

Gerbil's Waiver Wire Week 9 - Troy & Troy

Troy Melton, SP, DET If you followed my work at all last year, you know I absolutely adore Troy Melton. I often compare him to guys like Eury Perez and Jacob Misiorowski, in that he's a tall and lanky guy with fantastic extension and velocity out of a 3/4 slot - in this case, a slightly higher 3/4. And although his 100 mph perceived velocity 4-seam doesn't have the kind of tremendous ride that you…

Gerbil's Waiver Wire Week 8- Less Repeats

It's getting to be a bit much having to include the same guys every week, while trying to find new and interesting ways to express my enthusiasm and excitement for said players. I've genuinely put my all into recommending Sam Antonacci about 10 times going back to Fall of 2025, and at this point, managers either want him or they don't. These players have graduated: Sam Antonacci Connor Prielipp…

Waiver Wire Week 7 - Nacci Your Typical Player

Sam Antonacci, 2B/OF, CWS I don't have much to add to the Antonacci discourse, other than to mention he now has two swiped bags after having zero before this week. The steals have arrived, and with that, he's officially an easy add. You just don't see many rookies have such an instinctual knack for creating good outcomes. Antonacci doesn't chase, doesn't whiff, boasts elite launch angles, takes…

Waiver Wire Week 6 - Rice With A Shot Of Espresso.

Seeing Rice doing what he's doing has me nostalgic for the early days of 2025, when I was fully ready to go all in on a guy that had hit .171 with a .613 OPS the year before. And yet, most tragically, I could not manage to snag rice in the only redraft league I participate in this year - a league in which I'm really struggling, no less. Hats off to the guys who reached for both Rice and Sal more…

My 9 Year Old Cat, Neko, Has Cancer.

A lump appeared on her lower leg about two months ago, and it became more and more apparent that it wasn't an abscess, cyst, or fatty tumor. We brought her in to the vet for a fine needle aspirate last week, and we just got the results of the lab work: She's getting surgery, no matter what. We love her to death.

Waiver Wire Week 5

Moisés Ballesteros, C/UT Somehow, someway, Moisés is still only 17% owned on Yahoo. There's at least one more opportunity to grab a slugger who boasts a .400 BA and 1.098 OPS across 61 plate appearances. He blasts the ball at a top 10 percentile rate, all while swinging with an excellent 61% ideal attack angle: He squares up on the ball while swinging with elite bat speed: I understand he sits a…
