This week's collection of free agent talent is a much improved over the usual bunch of jetsam. This is jetsam worth bidding upon. Upon worth bidding. Bidding worth—oh, you get the idea.

Sometimes, you have to dig extra-deep to find talent about to emerge. This may be one of those cases, but can you live with the growing pains?

Remember all those players we talked about? We do. So let's review some of the recommendations from earlier in the year to see if we've changed our minds.

A little speed, some would-be closers, and some guys back from minor league exile. Come on in, and bring your FAAB.

It's often taken as a given that pitchers whose ERA varies significantly from their xERA will see a correction. Is half a season enough time for that to happen?

Injuries create free agent opportunities. Some healthy players have been coming back. Are they worth spending on?

We know there will be some new closers by the end of the season. Let's try to predict who they might be.

Brandon Belt leading off, with Tyler Greene and some pitcher types. And some of them are buys! Don't read this right away... let the suspense build!

A bit light on closers this week, perhaps the result of FAABtigue. But we do have Andy Pettitte and Kevin Millwood. That's got to count for something.

Stressed out? Market Pulse is a massage for your mind, with no mention of Brett Lawrie's helmet toss.

Carlos Beltran leads the NL in fantasy value produced per healthy knee. Is he back among the NL elite? If so, will he stay there?
