Kendry Morales is on a tear as the season enters August. Lauren Shehadi and Eric Mack talk about the first baseman and much more.
He might get looks off the waiver wire during hot stretches, but he can go largely undrafted in most leagues.
He's still a second baseman to consider in the early rounds, but he's now one of several behind Chase Utley instead of the clear-cut favorite.
Anderson figures to be a little bit of a risk if you are tempted to pick him among the top 60 Fantasy starting pitchers. He could be a solid pick-up after that point, though.
He might not play every day, not with all the other players the Athletics have to work into their outfield, but he could threaten for 30 steals with 400 at-bats, making him worth a late-round pick in Rotisserie leagues.
With limited at-bats, he could disappear for weeks at a time. For that reason, he rates as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy catcher -- one that'll probably last into the late rounds.
We rank him among the top 30 starting pitchers to target on Draft Day, but that is based on his potential. You will find Kazmir going in a wide range of areas in different leagues.
Matsui remains an injury risk at his age, but he clearly has value as a middle-round pick.
The Angels should be a solid contender again and Santana should be able to be a winner, if not challenge his twice-reached career high of 16 victories.
He doesn't have much room to improve from here at age 31, but that stigma might just make him a sneaky source of serviceable numbers in the late rounds.
Hunter is what he is: a .280 hitter with a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio who might go 20-20. That's good enough to make him a No. 2 Fantasy outfielder in some leagues, particularly Rotisserie formats, but one without any upside.
His lack of power limits his upside, which is normally the type of player you hope to avoid in Fantasy. But if he develops as much in his third year as he did in his second, he has something to offer Fantasy owners.
Saunders is a winner and will be for your Fantasy team if you get him after the top 60 Fantasy starters are off the board on Draft Day.
We don't see him having another 15-victory, sub-4.00 ERA season, but he is a veteran that can thrive in favorable matchups over the course of the season.
His 36 years of age makes him a bit more risky than most No. 2 Fantasy outfielders, but if he slips to the middle rounds, he's a clear value.
Fuentes is the leading option for saves with the Angels, a team that has famously generated a lot of opportunities for the past decade. Fuentes is worthy of being considered among the top 10 closers in Fantasy for that reason alone.
He's still a half step behind the elite at first base since he has a short track record and a low walk rate, but he's right on the cusp of becoming a Fantasy stud, perhaps even a Triple Crown candidate.
Consider him a top 25 Fantasy starting pitcher to target on Draft Day, one capable of performing like a top-10 option for a annual contender.
He's worth drafting as a No. 2 Fantasy catcher if you need power at the position, but he's no difference-maker in Fantasy.
The final week of baseball fantasy season is upon us. Fantasy writer Scott White calls in to talk with Jason Horowitz about some of the sleepers and busts this week.
Will Justin Verlander continue to pitch well down the stretch? Who are the AL and NL Cy Young winners? Eric Mack and Lauren Shehadi discuss pitchers for the last time this season.
