A Few Guys You Have to Get NOW

Currently in baseball, there are certain players that will make a fantasy owner cringe. I am one of those fantasy owners with players such as Robinson Cano, Travis Hafner, and Ryan Howard. If you're not an owner of these guys, you eyes should be lighting up. It's time you go in for the pounce. With the following guys, it's just a matter of time before they go back up to where they belong.

1. Robinson Cano (2B NYY) - 7/3/9/.157 - This is probably as bad as the Yankee second baseman will get. Expect him to rebound and get to his usual 75/15/85/.300 season. Now is the time to get him.

2. Travis Hafner (1B CLE) - 12/3/17/.211 - Hafner has changed his swing for the worst from his previous seasons. Hafner's coaches have noticed his mechanical problems, so expect them to be fixed. Now's the time to buy.

3. Ryan Howard (1B PHI) - 17/6/16/.168 - Ryan Howard owners are starting to get worried about their slugger. It's time to get him while his owners are in panic mode. I'm not worried about Howard, and I expect him to return to normal very soon.

4. Jose Reyes (SS NYM) - 17/2/13/.260 - Reyes has already began to make a climb back to normal stealing 6 bases in 8 games and increasing his batting average 10 points in 5 games. Odds are, Reyes owners have already entered panic mode, so pounce now before it's too late.

5. Alfonso Soriano (OF CHC) - 10/3/10/.190 - Soriano just got back from injury and he can't get much lower than this. It's just a matter of time before he puts up his above average numbers.

Check back later for some players that you should sell high before they come back down to earth.
