Welcome to Week Eight of (Waiver) Wired and Baked – your weekly review of who shouldn’t be available in your league, but probably is.  Once again, I take a look at the top 5 players you should look to pickup this week, with an AL-only and NL-only special at the

Don't look now, but Asdrubal Cabrera is compiling an MVP resume: .302/9 HR/32 RBI. He went 5/5 with two HR, five RBI and a SB (two errors) as the Indians completed a sweep of interstate rival Cincinnati. Cabrera's previous career high for dingers was six with a modest high of

On this day in 1962, Roger Maris was intentionally walked four times. Maybe MLB pitchers need to consider this approach with Jose Bautisa. The Jose Bautista Watch: Is this man mortal? Bautista went 3 of 4 with two round trippers, four runs batted in, two runs scored and a stolen base. He

Domonic Brown got called back up to the majors with Shane Victorino going to the 15-day DL. He should make the start today. If he is still on your waiver wire, pick him! Every once in a while little brother gets to beat big brother. And when they do, it’s

Apparently old dogs can learn new tricks. Jason Giambi proved he is not just some old looking guy with a patchy grey goatee. He's an old looking guy with a patchy grey goatee that hit 3 home runs last night (1st time in his career) and drove in all of

Shelby Miller, RH SP St. Louis At 20 years of age, Miller is far and away the superior overall prospect in the Cardinals system. His fastball is an electric 94-96 with great life. He's throwing an inordinately high percentage of heaters at this stage, with refinement of 12-6 curve, change

Lots of injury news to dive into: A-Rod is going to have his hip checked-out. Apparently his two-homer outburst on Tuesday did not alleviate concerns over his health. Keep an eye on this, as they say, "hips don't lie". Matt Holliday left the game early with "tight quadriceps" and Lance Berkman was removed
