With so many fantasy baseball teams to my name, I regularly navigate the waiver wire on a wide variety of websites. And in all honesty, I find player searches on the Yahoo wire to be as good as that of any platform. Here is my process for finding a free agent gem in the Yahoo system. To be clear, I do ALL of these sorts before choosing someone to add. When I need a hitter 1. Sort by at-bats in the past seven days.

Prospecting isn’t for everyone. It can be painful. We have to wait weeks or months for these guys, with no guarantee they’ll succeed upon arrival.

We’re looking at six months, 162 games, and a fresh and fun season awaits. With that in mind, we assembled 16 managers and put the Yahoo Friends & Family League… Source link
