By buy low, I mean lower than what he will produce. Note that there will be buy lows of different levels here. Also, there are some guys that I wouldn't even want on my roster here...but I'll list them anyway, since the idea is below what they will eventually be valued by most people's standards.
C
V. Martinez Piazza Posada Kendall
Estrada
1B
Helton Thome Maybe Delgado (lack of power thus far...you can buy by talking about how Florida saps power perhaps...there was a snippet from Rotoworld about that)
Huff (3B, OF) Hafner Casey
2B
M. Giles Reyes (lack of steals)
B. Boone
K. Matsui
Not many buy lows here...Giles is probably the only one REALLY pursuing, but it's a thin position to begin with.
3B
Beltre Rolen
Er. Chavez Blalock Maybe Lowell
SS
Furcal (average wise)
Renteria O. Cabrera
OF
Beltran (say that he won't run)
Abreu (low average, but is stealing. Would be perfect buy low had he not stolen six bases)
Crawford Pierre
V. Wells C. Lee Drew (though a week or two ago would've been more effective)
P. Wilson B. Giles
Griffey, Jr. A. Jones
You can try Berkman... Finley
Walker
Kearns Hidalgo Magglio if you want a huge question mark and don't mind the risk
DH
Durazo
SP
R. Johnson's value is relatively low, compared to where he was drafted
Schilling Sheets K. Wood Mussina If you want Zito, go ahead
Ol. Perez was a good buy low before his last start
L. Hernandez
Weaver K. Brown J. Westbrook
RP
Foulke Mota Kolb, if you want him
Takatsu
Take a shot for Eric Gagne...talk about how suspicious you are of the injury.
Isringhausen with a guy who may not have enough DL slots?
Stashing Benitez on the DL isn't a bad idea if you have the spot. Same with JoeBo.
Edit: I bolded the players I'd most want to take a shot to trade for right now.[/b]

the thing is, its hard to buy low on a first round draft pick. I am a helton owner, and I know he will come around. I also know that his replacement that would come to me in a deal would probably have a ceiling that was like helton's floor -- not worth moving.
I think the best buy low guys are the guys with talent, but for one reason or another have growing pains, or guys that have a little more doubt.
I don't think you are getting a delgado "low" he is still hitting .300 isn't he?
