July 9, 2012 Resident Fantasy GeniusMaking the Most of Midseason Free AgentsWelcome to the All-Star break, fantasy players. If you’re reading this right now, chances are you still have a pretty good chance of winning your league, so congratulations! Today, I wanted to talk about a good value proposition that usually presents itself around this time of year. If you’ve followed my early-season advice of being aggressive with your FAAB budget, chances are you’re sitting somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of FAAB remaining. You’ve made a few buys, many of which have hopefully worked out, but several of your competitors have been pinching pennies in anticipation of MLB’s trade deadline while a few others have blown their stakes early. In Tout Wars and LABR, I find myself in this exact position: LABR NL — Remaining FAAB |
Interesting that you note the prizes are Hamels, Victorino and other NL players. As NL players they're not exactly FAAB prizes, correct? If I'm in an NL only league, I'm saving my $ for bog AL fish who may cross over, a la Holliday a few years ago.
Are there any AL cross over targets?
