I was just as surprised as anyone when I saw Corey Hart hit the waiver wire in two of my leagues. With a .245-29-4-18-3 start to the season, I know that he hasn’t been worth the high pick he likely cost for you to draft; but is it too early to give up on Hart?
Looking around the league, you may be surprised (shocked) to find Jason Bartlett hitting .376-29-6-23-12. He’s been a pleasant surprise at the shortstop this year, but only those who picked him up early seem to know about him. If he still happens to be available in your league, you should snap him up, and yesterday.
Face it. During the fantasy season, it’s easy to lose perspective, and you can’t see the forest for the trees. zOMG! Someone just dropped (insert big name, little production player)! I gotta buy low and get him on the cheap! That’s right, but only some of the time.

One of the less heralded fantasy performers this season hails from Toronto. 2B Aaron Hill is a big reason that the Blue Jays are leading the AL with 176 runs scored and hold a 19-10 record. Did you know he’s put up a .357-22-6-24-2 fantasy line thus far? In a standard 5×5 league, that makes him more valuable than Chase Utley (though not Ian Kinsler, who has just been white hot). What’s behind this breakout, is it for real, and how long can it last? Read more…
