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)

 

Middle infielders

Asdrubal Cabrera, 2B/SS, Cleveland Indians

Asdrubal you were: close to return

It's time to start thinking about stashing Cabrera (forearm), who's 2-for-6 with a double and two RBIs in two rehab games in the New York Penn League. He joined Double-A Akron for the next leg of his rehab stint, and the Tribe probably won't rush him back, but he's not far off.

The dual eligibility is obviously a nice bonus. Despite his .287 batting average and only one homer and one steal in 136 at-bats, Cabrera remains a potentially significant fantasy contributor in the second half. At the end of June last year, when he returned from an injury, he went on to bat .303 with four homers, 41 RBIs and 10 steals in 317 at-bats the rest of the way.

Shallow mixed: Watch

Deep mixed: Acquire
