BUY/SELL
Fantasy Focus

With the season about two weeks old there have been many surprises. Here is some advice to go by…


Sell Now

Brian Roberts 2B Orioles – This guy is on pace for 70 homers. He only had four all of last season and has six as of today. There might be a guy who is desperate in your league for help at a weak second base position so try to get as much as you can.

Dontrelle Willis SP Marlins – He may yield great value and may get a superstar in return. I would look to trade him as soon as you can.

Pat Burrell Phillies OF – He is on a hot streak but that’s all it will be. I have had him the last two years and expect him to come back down to earth soon.

Kerry Wood Cubs SP – He has had a rough go of it lately with an ERA over six. People are pulling the trigger on him and aren’t asking for much in return. This could give you a huge boost as soon as Wood zones in.

Steve Finley Angels OF – He is notorious for slow starts. His career numbers in April are that of a .240 hitter. Last year he was released in our league and ended up a top 20 OF.

Lance Berkman Astros OF – Get him while he is cheap. This guy is a great fantasy player hitting in a fantasy hitters dream.

With that said there are quite a few guys out there on the waiver wire that should be considered.

Cesar Izturis Dodgers SS – He is hitting the ball all over the place and stealing bases, what more could you ask for.

Omar Visquel Giants SS – (See Izturis)

Ryan Franklin Mariners SP – Last outing had a complete game loss against the White Sox. I was at the game and if Paul Konerko didn’t hit two homeruns it would have been a shutout.

Dustin Hermanson White Sox RP – I predict a change in the closer role soon for the White Sox. Hermanson is the most consistant out of that bullpen so I look for him to take over soon.
This should be an interesting year!!!
