Billy Butler, 1B/DH (KC) First-half statistics: .271/.371/.402, 8 HR,... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Believe it or not, Hefner has been the best pitcher on the Mets– and one of the best in all of baseball– since the beginning of June. In that timeframe, the righthander has a 1.64 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 37/8 K/BB ratio over 44 IP. Those are elite... Read More

Chacin is flying under the radar at 23% owned despite a relatively decent fantasy campaign thus far.
