Time to Mash Let's start this article with a disclaimer: predicting batting average is something of a fool's errand. In a nutshell, the problem boils down to sample size. Barring injury, an everyday player will step up to the plate somewhere between 650 and 700 times over the course of a season. Between 60 and 100 of these opportunities are lost to walks, sac flies, sac bunts, and HBP, leaving only about 600 remaining. In a sport with as much in-house randomness as baseball, that sample makes[...]Keep on reading: Top 10 Batting Average Leaders for 2015

On that note, here is a closer look at some potential waiver wire pickups to target. Third Base[...] Keep on reading: Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep LeaguesANALYSIS: Chris Johnson was scorching hot going into the all-star break, hitting 3 HR with 7 RBIs in the two games before the mid-summer classic.  He's continued his hot hitting with 4 hits, a HR and 3 RBIs after the break and he deserves consideration in all leagues with corner infield spots.  It's highly unlikely the power binge continues, but Johnson can maintain a .300 BA with plenty of RBIs over then next month or more. He's only 39% owned in Yahoo![...] Keep on reading: Chris Johnson (3B, ATL) -- Waiver Wire Pickups
