In the off-season, there was concern with how Miguel Cabrera (3B, DET) would handle the hot corner. When an errant ground ball fractured his orbital bone in spring training, those fears weren’t quelled. Fast forward to mid-August, and Cabrera is holding his own in the field.

Owners need to take risks and get incremental value if they are going to catch the leaders with less than 50 games to go. Here are some of those calculated risks with MIL, SD, SF, OAK and BAL.

It's NOT a head-scratcher: Carlos Gonzalez is a sure-fire stud.

Need speed? <<That guy ain't available. So look at fast guys on running teams.

The struggles of Jon Lester (LHP, BOS) this season have all come against RH bats. Nobody has been better against lefties.

Just in time for the last six weeks, a column with all BUYs (but one)! Yes, every player covered (but one) is worth using that dwindling FAAB.

Fortune, not improved skills, propels Headley ... Among the names most rumored to be moved at the trading deadline who ultimately stayed put was Chase Headley (3B, SD). After a disappointing 2011, Headley has boosted his power while staying aggressive on the basepaths.

Pujols’ slump a distant memory…So – did you sell low on Albert Pujols (1B, LAA) back in April? After hitting .217 with no home runs that month, the temptation was certainly there to bail on the costly superstar. But after hitting his first home run on May 6, he’s looked like “the Machine” of old.

After 400 ABs, it's fair to say about Danny Espinosa: "He was who we thought he was." After a promising - albeit frustrating - 2011 in which he amassed a 17 HR/21 SB combination, there were hopes that the less desirable parts of his game (namely, the 71% ct%) would improve to the point where his BA wouldn't be a boon to fantasy owners. Alas, it seems Espinosa's plate skills has regressed even further.
