Buy low: Ben Zobrist (he has to hit more than 5 homers in the 2nd half)
Sell high: Adam Dunn (I like him but he's hitting .279 which isn't really sustainable for him)

What do you guys think of buying low on Mark Buerhle in deeper leagues? Do you think he's set to have a quality 2nd half?

Is it worth trying to "buy low" on morneau if you have a worried owner? In my individual case, the guy also has votto so he seems eager to trade morneau...

Has anyone been shopping around Mat Latos lately? Seems like now could be a good time to sell high on him, especially with innings limit...

You can try to sell him high, but most owners who are paying attention know he's having his starts limited soon. I've been trying....not going so well yet

Bruce is my MAN-CRUSH!!! haha but with that said, Ive recently bought low on him, or as i put it, STOLE-Low on him in a Keeper League for Jaime Garcia and Juan Pierre! hahahaha, i LOVED it bc i own Bruce in every single league except the MOST important to own a Young Bat like him, in my Keeper! So i finally found the owner desperate and salivating at the idea of Winning NOW so i dealt him much needed Speed and SP Depth and STOLE Bruce like a thief in the night!!! Haha, now to help, YES-Bruce will "breakout' in the 2nd Half!!! Im VERY Confident of it!!!

Im also thinking of Buying JRoll Low... But for a combo deal with Braun :-o yeah Im not too sure! :-?

I just pulled off a Sell-high Latos deal:

I give: Matt Latos, Matt Capps

I get: Jair Jurjens, Jonathon Papelbon


I love Latos, but I don't mind getting Jurjens back, and Papelbon is most likely the best player in the deal.


Two other deals I am trying to pull, although I'm not sure if I'm offering enough for the underachievers...

Give: Corey Hart, Brandon Morrow
Get: Curtis Granderson, Scott Baker

Give: Alex Gonzalez, Jason Heyward, Jason Hammel
Get: Ben Zobrist, James Shields

All 4 players I'm trying to get have underachieved to this point, and I'm hoping frustrated owners are ready to dump them. I'll take the gamble.

All 5 players I'm giving up have overachieved (in my opinion), but still have enough shine on them to bring in buy-low prospects. I doubt either trade will be accepted, but it's worth it.

The league is filled with gun-shy folk unfortunately. Most don't really believe in trading, even if you offer Pujols to them for nothing, they'd decline.
(In reference to an Aaron Hill for David Price swap)

Rick Porcello is definitely a buy low candidate, especially in Keeper leagues.
