Fantasy Baseball Diamond Market - AL

Fantasy baseball waivers and the acquisition of fantasy baseball free agents can make or break your season. Your fantasy baseball cheat sheets won't help you after spring training. If your team remains the same after opening day, you will have trouble competing in your rotisserie baseball league.

Do you need to replace your fantasy baseball busts? Which fantasy baseball players can you ignore? KFFL.com's Fantasy Baseball Diamond Market gives you fantasy baseball tips and insight to sort through the masses quickly.

Key

Acquire	Add player (in most circumstances)
Consider	Add for speculation or because of need
Watch	Track player, consider if trend continues
Pass	Do not add player (in most circumstances)

Pitchers

Chris Young, SP, San Diego Padres

Young again ... but healthy?

Can you trust Young (shoulder)? He hasn't been remotely reliable since 2008. He has made one start - granted, it went well - this year. The right-hander made four rehab starts in the minors and went 5 2/3 innings in his final one, a playoff game with high Class A Lake Elsinore. He's going to take the hill on Saturday for the Padres, who are trying desperately to hang on to the NL West lead.

Young won't go deep into his start versus the St. Louis Cardinals, either. But once again, he feels healthy. There's no denying that he's a quality pitcher if he is, especially with the defense that'd be backing him. It's probably smarter to see how he comes out of his outing on Saturday, but he could be a real boon to the Friars' run to the postseason.

Shallow mixed: Pass

Deep mixed: Watch

NL-only: Consider
