I got lucky grabbing Greinke in one league via trade 2 wks ago...
Couple names I'm looking at now:
Middlebrooks
Price (although I still think he's a few weeks away)

Any other guys you can recommend that we should be looking to acquire cheap?

(I was going to say VMart just to bug TKO haha...but only for that reason)

Bossman Junior is interesting, IMO.

Funny how Justin and BJ have about the same contact rate this year....
Worry about Justin or have high hopes for BJ?? :)

Billy Butler might be another one....I worry about his eligibility next year... CBS seems to set them without a firm guideline. As a DH only, a lot of value lost particularly when using CIs.

When talking about buying low, you can't get no lower than BJ Upton. He'll either make his way to my lineup later this year or rot on my bench.

Curtis Granderson would be another buy low for those in playoff contention and looking for that big bat down the line.

I did not buy low on Granderson, but I did draft him late and stash him. Twice. As long as he gives me what my 4th OF guy otherwise would this year, I will be happy.

Almost embarrassed to say lol...
I traded Kipnis straight up...guy needed a 2B and it was when Kipnis went through that stretch hitting everything and Greinke getting killed. Now that Rendon's promoted I'll have replaced Kipnis pain-free by Monday.
