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

 

Middle infielders

Eric Young Jr., 2B/OF, Colorado Rockies

No PT yet, but EY has speed to burn

EY Jr. likely will be called up if the Rox place outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (hamstring) on the DL. Be proactive. He's a capable hitter (.299 at Triple-A in '09) that has excellent speed.

Finding at-bats could be tricky; he'd likely most often be a late-game replacement when Colorado needs a speedy baserunner. A bit more PT could come in occasional outfield duty or a Clint Barmes slump, and Young has game-changing speed that shouldn't be ignored by fantasy owners with rosters deep enough to speculate.

Shallow mixed: Pass

Deep mixed: Watch

NL-only: Acquire
