Week 13 in the AL Waiver Wire series assesses the fantasy value of Erik Bedard, Dallas Braden, Brett Wallace, Russell Branyan, Bengie Molina and Fausto Carmona . . . plus Jose Bautisa watch continues!

Featured this week are some reinforcements in the outfield, an all-time great closer, a potential save vulture, and a pitcher who recently was re-inserted into his team’s rotation.

The minor leagues are full of hopes and dreams, which are dashed far too often.

They’re not so different.

What are we costing ourselves by holding on to our fringe assets?

Looking where you could have gone, or maybe did go, wrong.

A trio of helpful outfielders as well as a catcher are featured in the hitter portion this week, and some high-volume strikeout pitchers and a knuckleballer are featured on the pitcher end of the spectrum.

Week 12 in the AL Waiver Wire series assesses the fantasy value of Chris Davis, Matt Joyce, Conor Jackson, Carlos Guillen and Alex Gordon … plus a Geovany Soto rant and Jose Bautisa watch continues!

Bringing every level of the minor leagues together to honor the season’s best.

Stretch your flexibility out.
