Chavez is eligible to come off the DL on May 27, but he may not be ready that quickly. While his best days are clearly behind him, Chavez is still a decent AL-only third baseman and he could still hit 20+ homer this season. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Suzuki leads the major leagues in games and innings caught, according to Yahoo Sports, so he may be wearing down. His average has fallen to 2.55 and he only has one extra base hit in his last 15 games. He is still a usable AL-only catcher, just keep your expectations low. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Berkman has an 11-game hitting streak and is hitting an almost unfathomable .641 in May. Chances are, he won't hit .641 for the month, but teams riding Berkman should continue to do so. Maybe it looked like his 2006 season was his career year (45 HR's, 136 RBI, .315), but he seems intent on making 2008 even better. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The perception of Oswalt's season will be hurt by his first three starts, but he has settled into a winning pattern. He now has six straight starts of six or more winnings with three or less earned runs. He also had 36 K's in those six starts. He should continue to improve throughout the season. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Brown takes Brandon Wood's place on the roster and he could start while Chone Figgins is on the DL for the next week. Brown hit 19 homers in AA and AAA ball in 2006 and 2007, respectively. He could be a decent add for AL-only owners look for a Figgins replacement. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Guerrero looks like he is breaking out of his April daze. He has hits in seven of his last ieght games and four extra base hits in that time. He is slugging just .441 and has just 20 RBI. Vlad is taking the opposite approach (hopefully) from 2007 when he started fast and faded in the middle of the season. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

It was only a matter of time before we saw Bradley on the injured list again. He was once again teasing owners with his fantasy potential and had gone yard earlier in the game. If the injury proves not to be serious, you should still think about trading Bradley as soon as you can. He won't stay healthy for long. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Wilson has only blown one save in eight opportunities, but his recent performances should give his owners pause. He is not the most firmly entrenched of closers and it might be wise to see if Franklyn German or Frank Francisco are available. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

He has struck out in nearly a third of his at bats (14 K's in 46 at bats), so the Mariner rookie is definitely swinging for the fences. He has a hit in each of his last four games with a double and two homers in that stretch. Seeing as pitchers don't have a book on him yet, he is still playable. I don't think he is a long term prospect. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Ibanez has been a steady presence in the middle of the Mariner offense this season. He has seven homers and 28 RBI with a .295 average. The homers were the first since April 12. He is hitting .325 on the road. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Since the start of 2007, Bush has given up a lot of hits. According to some theories, that is just bad luck. His control is pretty good and is strikeout rate is not terrible, so he may be in for some better luck. It's hard to give a strong recommendation to him, but you could do worse. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The free-swinging Hall is prone to deep slumps because of his inability to control the strikezone. He has 39 K's in 38 games and is hitting just .105 this month. He will likely come out of the slump soon, but his average for the season probably will not help your team. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Ankiel has been a quality hitter this season. He has the ability to draw a walk (20 so far) and has an OPS of .887. While manager Tony LaRussa likes to tinker with his lineup, Ankiel has been out there almost every day. You should expect more of the same. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The poor outing broke a streak of five consecutive quality starts for the right-hander. He allowed three homers (two to Ryan Braun) and eight hits. Despite the bad showing, Wainwright's ERA only went up to 2.95. He should bounce back against the Rays on Saturday. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The Cub shortstop is hitting .363 at home and the Cubs are in the midst of a ten-game homestand. His .416 on-base percentage and speed are probably more appropriate for a lead off batter than current Cub lead off guy Alfonso Soriano, but he's not a bad two-hole hitter as well. After an initial excellent period in 2007, he faded badly. Be wary. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Soriano struggled through April and missed half of the month with a strained right calf. Since returning, he has hits in eight of 11 games and four doubles in the last week. Congrats is you were able to buy low on him while he was on the DL. It's probably too late now. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Save opportunities have been few and far between for the Reds closer, but he is converting them when they arise. The Reds will probably get in more close games in the summer months and Cordero will end up with at least 30 saves. If you can find an impatient owner, you might want to make an offer. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Patterson has always been a streaky hitter, so it may be that he is just about to break off a nice streak. He is hitting .304 at home this year and the Reds just started a seven-game homestand. Patterson will not help in average overall, but if you can play him from time to time, he can contribute. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Nady was one of the biggest surprises of April and he started May like gangbusters as well. History is not on his side for continued excellence, but as long as he stays healthy it is hard to see why he would lose effectiveness completely. He's still a good sell high candidate. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Yates has settled into a very effective pitcher out of the Pirate bullpen. He has not allowed a run in his last eight appearances and has lowered his ERA to 3.12. He gives up too many walks (16 in 17.1 innings) and blew a save on May 9, but he has become a solid middle reliever for NL-only leagues. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

You might want to see how that plays out before thinking about taking a flyer on the youngster again. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

Big-Z is now 6-1 on the year, and continues a strong campaign where he might reach 20 wins for the first time in his career. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

By sitting out a game this weekend, he worried owners a bit. But it looks like he is ready to continue working on a monster year. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

With his recent power surge, Braun is proving why he was selected in the top 15 in almost every draft format this season. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

He did it again. Lee is on a torrid streak and has looked unstoppable. But can he keep this up? You have to think his numbers will even out eventually, so he might be the best sell-high candidate in fantasy right now. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

S far, it turns out Marcum has pitched better than Dustin McGowan, whom fantasy owners tabbed as the must-have sleeper on the talented Blue Jays staff before the season. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

Garza has given up just three runs in his last 19.2 innings pitched. He does have the worst first-pitch strike ratio in baseball, though. Keep an eye on him because he might be worth a spot-start every now and then. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)

The Red shortstop went 5-for-5 in the nightcap of a double header on Saturday. It remains to be seen when incumbent Alex Gonzalez will come back, but Keppinger has more than held the fort. The early season power has diminished, but is hitting for a high average for the second straight season in Cincinnati. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Weathers, who was the Red closer in 2007, could be the guy in line for the majority of the eighth inning hold opportunities, if he can prove he is healthy. He has give up four hits since returning and gave up two on Sunday. So, he has not been dominant, but just good enough. That will have to do. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Hunter had been hitless in his last three games (0-for-9) and he raised his average above .300 again. The first year Angel is generally a first half player, but he will need a big May and June to equal past seasons. He is consistently getting on base. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Willits' main value comes from his speed, but he has yet to steal a base this year. Granted, he spent some time in the minors and only has 15 at bats, but he has yet to get the green light. Even a time share with Matthews would increase his value. Keep an eye on him. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Salomon Torres opened the ninth inning, but was unable to seal the deal by giving up a run on a hit and a walk. Shouse also gave up a hit, allowing an inherited runner to score. He doesn't seem like a strong bet to get more save opportunities. I'd throw my support behind Guillermo Mota. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Braun is starting to simmer. He lifted his average to .281 and now has 20 extra base hits and a .503 slugging percentage. People who drafted Braun were probably reluctant to give him up in April. Now, it's too late to get a discount. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Glaus has been a disappointment, mainly because he only has one homer this season. He scored his first run of the month on Sunday and has no RBI since April 29. Perhaps he is not playing at 100% and maybe Sunday was a sign of better times to come. They couldn't get much worse. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Izturis is on the field for his glove, so he has little business being on a fantasy roster. On the plus side, he did draw a walk and has 13 on the season. He is a slick fielder and a "veteran presence" but neither aspect will help your fantasy team. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The Cubs' best arm out of the pen has not allowed a run in his last ten appearances and has struck out 32 batters in 24 innings. He is worth owning in all leagues and will strike out more batters than lower rung starters. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The rookie from Japan had been slumping a bit, but he rebounded over the weekend against the Diamondbacks with four hits in ten at bats, including his second homer of the season. His odd and short hitting stroke isn't conducive to major power, but he has speed to steal an extra base here and there. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Salty struggled from behind the plate and the usually lead-footed A's stole five bases against him. Two of the steals came on a double steal so they can't all be counted against him, but his lack of throwing ability should be monitored. After a nice start, Saltalamacchia has settled into a .207 average. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Kinsler has been on a hot streak and has a six-game hitting streak. He has 11 hits in the streak and has raised his average to .306. Kinsler has not played enough to get a good read on his trends, but he is likely a bit above what he'll do for the season. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Since Frank Thomas rejoined the A's, Sweeney has become a platoon player. Perhaps this is best role at this point in his career. He is hitting .333 against lefties and .368 in May. Sweeney won't play enough to make much of an impact in fantasy leagues, but if you see that he is starting, he is worth a play. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Brown leads the A's with an impressive 33 RBI (on pace for 143). He likely won't reach 100 RBI, but he is the type of outfielder that every AL-only team needs. He is in the field for every game and because he doesn't walk (just five free passes), his batting average will carry a bit more weight. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Valverde was terrible through April 17, but has been excellent ever since. He has not allowed a run in his last 11 appearances and has lowered his ERA to a respectable 4.66. If the Astros can keep winning, they have the ninth inning covered. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Chacon will never be confused with one of the better starters in the National League, but he is quietly having a solid season. Through eight starts, he has an ERA of 3.53 and a 1.37 WHIP. Incredibly, Chacon has not being involved in any decisions. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Since arriving from the minors on April 17, Morrow has been a dependable middle reliever. He has allowed one run in ten appearances and has stuck out nine batters in 7.1 innings. The wildness that plagued him last year (50 walks in 63.1 innings) has not been apparent as well (two walks). He could be a future closer. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Yes, it could be. Johjima struggled through an awful April, but he know has two hits in four of his last seven games and has lifted his average to .208. Johjima still has not shown any power and only has three doubles on the season (and none since April 15). The power will come and he'll probably be an upper echelon catcher for AL-only leagues the rest of the way. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

It ended up being one of Duke's better starts, but his season high five walks is a concern. He has now won his last two games, but his 1.60 WHIP for the season would make me shy away. He's borderline roster worthy for NL-only leagues and I'd try to trade him while his stock is medium warm. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

After his annual April slumber, LaRoche is starting to really play. He's been on base in each of the last eight games. His .212 average might not look too inviting, but he's come a long way from the mid .150's. It's not too late to make a lowball offer for him. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

After several shaky outings upon coming back from the DL, he has settled down. Keep him active and enjoy the version of Putz you hoped you had drafted. (Brian Fitzsimmons/SportsBuff.com)
