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
OutfieldersManny Ramirez, OF, Chicago White Sox
MAYBE. Be prepared to throw most of whatever FAAB you have left at the embattled - by his own doing, much of it - hitter. He's the last best thing likely to change leagues this year. Manny can still hit. Maybe he can't for power so much anymore, but he can still hit. He's batting .313 with a .513 slugging rate. A move to the Cell would certainly up his chances of hitting more dingers, too; Dodger Stadium isn't too nice to power-hitting righties anyway. He'd probably find fewer ways to hurt himself as a permanent DH, too. Shallow mixed: Acquire Deep mixed: Acquire AL-only: Acquire Brad Hawpe, OF, Tampa Bay Rays The Colorado Rockies released Hawpe after he cleared waivers. Tampa took a shot on him because he came cheaply on a minor league deal. Hawpe hit .255 with seven homers and 37 RBIs in 259 at-bats with Colorado. Perhaps a change of scenery will do the trick? Hawpe has displayed serious signs of decline for a while now. He might be a better option than Dan Johnson to back up at first, but only with the stick. He doesn't represent a clear upgrade over Matt Joyce, either. Tampa has discussed bringing up the ghost of Rocco Baldelli to swing it from the right side as DH, too. There's a crowd here, and Hawpe doesn't appear to stand out. Shallow mixed: Pass Deep mixed: Pass AL-only: Consider Fantasy Baseball Diamond Market - NLAbout Nicholas Minnix
