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)
Watch Track player, add if trend continues
Pass Do not add player (in most circumstances)

Josh Beckett, SP, Boston Red Sox

Boston Red Sox SP Josh Beckett
Not Joshin': He might be available

Beckett (back) has been slowly working his way back, and yesterday's rehab start - the first of two - was a great sign that he's almost there. The right-hander touched 96, allowed two hits and one run, walked none and struck out four.

Beckett's numbers after eight starts (1-1, 7.29 ERA, 1.66 WHIP) are hideous. He fanned 40 in his 45 2/3 innings, though. Problems this year (until we see otherwise): poor location and, more so, poor mechanics. Reportedly, he was pretty spot on in his rehab start.

Presumably, Beckett has been working on these issues, too. He remains extremely talented, and his low strand rate and high BABIP against have to be products of his 2010 ills. It's highly unlikely that he'll finish the year with such terrible numbers. In a number of leagues, he's still available, however.

Shallow mixed: Acquire

Deep mixed: Acquire

AL-only: Acquire
