Mark Trumbo 38% owned - I've talked about Trumbo's value before and while he's borderline replacement value in league with no CI his blend of solid power and occasional speed is definitely valuable in medium to deep leagues.
Michael Brantely 39% owned - Brantley's production so far has been more valuable according to baseball monster than that of OF's like Johnny Damon, Brett Gardner, Colby Rasmus, Bobby Abreu, and Ichiro. I'm not saying that he'll continue to be better than those guys but he's definitely ownable in more than 2/5ths of leagues.
Ryan Ludwick 35% owned - Ludwick is ranked just a bit below Brantley in terms of current value but most of that value is tied up in his 55 RBI. I would definitely be hesitant to pick a guy based on a stat that isn't much in his control, especially a guy who plays for the anemic Padres, but if you really need RBI then he's worth a flier.
Koji Uehara 22% owned - Even if you're not in a Holds league Uehara definitely has value. His peripherals are simply excellent, K/9 well over 11 and BB/9 under 2.00, and he's setting up for one of the worst closers in baseball. Count on him maintaining an ERA under 3.00 and WHIP under 1.00. If he starts to get the ball in the ninth it's just a bonus.
Mike Adams 36% owned - Speaking of RP, Mike Adams has been one of the most effective in the game for quite some time. His peripherals aren't quite as otherworldly as Uehara's but rock solid setup men are definitely an inefficiency in most FBB leagues. According to baseball monster Adams has provided standard league value of a borderline top 100 player so far this year. Any hitter, SP, or CL with such value would have been snatched up long ago; people just aren't valuing non-closer RP properly. You can take advantage of that inefficiency with guys like Adams and Uehara.
