MARKET PULSE: What we said before, but different

See the end of the article for an explanation of the ratings used here. And a thousand thanks to the folks at OnRoto.com for providing the oh-so-important league ownership data for this article.

We're almost to the midpoint of the season, which is a much less arbitrary checkpoint than most others. So we're going to take this opportunity to look back at recommendations we made during the first half, to see if some added perspective might give us a different opinion. The point here is not to say "I told you so," but to update the recommendations for those players who are still available in many leagues. These players should be available in at least one-third of shallow mixed leagues.

Yes, the outfield is more scarce than several other positions. Who would have thunk it?

Both bargains and potential pitfalls in the 3B pool this year. Overall, though, it's going to be hard to find top-level players to fill out your roster.

Happy pre-season! This week, we'll examine the market for catchers, and will toss our DH-only guys in as well, since (with one exception), they're also slow as molasses.
