AL Central Fantasy All-Star Un-Snubs
Halfway through the season is a just time to give recognition for the first half statistical studs; the All-Stars. But what with those of us that are stuck in the dingy cobweb-ridden cellars of our leagues with nothing to show for our season but a handful of players on the DL and a lost sense of self?

This is where you win championships. I’m a firm believer that no one on your team should be “untouchable” or “untradeable”. Right now you are one of 3 teams: 1. Waiting patiently for the playoffs to start and your real season begins. 2. Fighting to get in to the playoff hunt. 3. Playing for next year. If you’re team 1 you’re probably going to stay put, team 2 will be the team most likely to deal, and team 3 will either be staying put or working to deal for better keeper type players. In reality, you should all be dealing! Every team has someone over-performing or under-performing. Finding these players and getting maximum value for them is the best way to ensure your team is always near the top of your keeper league. Here are some buy low/sell high candidates to consider for the post All-Star season.

Chipper Jones - The last five years Chipper has been nicked up. If he’s on your team you cringe every time he tries to score from 1st on a double. Chipper is one of the players that I have vowed to never have on my team. He puts up nice stats but you never know when he’s going to go. If you’re a cellar dwelling team you should be trading him for younger players. If you’re up at the top, you could get a nice pitcher and replaceable 3b for him easily.
