Step 1
Locate the free agents available in your fantasy baseball league. On the front page of your fantasy baseball league, there should be a link which points to a listing of available players. Once you find these players, group them by position and sort them by statistics.
-
Step 2
Look for available free agents that are producing better than the players you currently have on your team. Since baseball is such a long season, players can go in and out of slumps multiple times over the course of a year. Getting a player who is in the middle of a hot streak can vastly improve your team.
-
Step 3
Keep an eye on injury news and how that can affect the players currently listed as free agents in your fantasy baseball league. For example, if a team's closer is injured, you may be able to acquire the relief pitcher who will assume the closer role. Not only do you look for free agents who are in the middle of a hot streak, you also look for free agents who, due to outside factors, may have an increased role with their ball club.

Step 4
Act swiftly in making your moves to acquire players off the waiver wire. Once news breaks of an injury or another change a team has made, the news travels fast. Most of the time, the owners who are most aware of baseball current events and act the fastest, end up with the best waiver wire pickups.
