In our second week of our buy low/sell high series I focus on two players that probably went undrafted in many leagues. Brett Myers has been a waiver wire gem this season and just earned himself a two-year contract extension while Jose Bautista has been the league’s best power hitter in a down year for the home run. Let’s take a closer look:

Underrated Joel Pineiro Out 6-8 Weeks
Joel Pineiro was well on his way to a nice follow up season to his breakout 2009 campaign before an oblique strain put him on the shelf fr 6-8 weeks basically ending his 2010 season.
Buy or Sell: Dan Haren Primed for a Big Second Half?
In our first installment of our weekly buy low/sell high article I will focus on two pitchers with very different reputations. On the one side, Dan Haren is notoriously known for his second-half fades and on the other side, we have John Lackey who is normally better in the second half. Pay attention because I am recommending you go against the grain in regards to both these players.
Bullpen Coach – Week 16
If you’re in the market for saves, now is the perfect time to start making some speculative closer adds. After all, there’s nothing more frustrating than going to add a newly appointed closer who was just picked up.
On Deck Circle – Hitters Review, Week 16
Franklin Gutierrez broke out in 2009, but after a great April he has been waiver-wire fodder and a huge disappointment for fantasy owners. A slight change in his approach at the plate could change all of this and provide you with some nice second half value.
What Happened to Mike Pelfrey?
Mike Pelfrey has never been known for his pinpoint control. Throughout the minors and majors he has only stayed under three walks per nine innings once (2.87 BB/9 in 2008). However, while his tendency to give up the occasional free pass has hurt him in the past, something changed this year that made him a very effective pitcher –that is until a start against the Florida Marlins on June 30 derailed his season.
