Fantasy Baseball Diamond Market - NL

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)

Outfielders

Nolan Reimold, OF, Baltimore Orioles

Birds dropping

The pain in Adam L. Jones' shoulder is getting worse, and Corey Patterson (neck, shoulder) is ailing a bit as well. Reimold, a disappointing draft pick for some this season, hit only .249 with 10 homers and 37 RBIs in 337 at-bats for Triple-A Norfolk this year.

The 26-year-old posted a fine OBP (.364) thanks to his walk rate, though, and he ended his farm stint with a quality August (.320-2-12). Reimold is a solid hitter and should see at-bats down the stretch. He's a safer pickup in OBP leagues.

Shallow mixed: Pass

Deep mixed: Watch

AL-only: Acquire
