Jose Altuve

Pretty much leading every category in NL. He needs 31 more hits for his career 1000^th, and the kid is only 26 years old.

Paul Goldschmidt

He is still struggling little bit to put the ball deep in the air (15.2% infield fly rate is ridiculously high compare to his 6.0% career rate), but his power tool seems to be unchanged. Should be an easy bounce back candidate for the 2nd half and his 13 SB are golden.

Bryce Harper

CF,RF

$ 46

The Phenom's sluggish July has been the headline. Hitting .200 for the month, but still slugged 4 HR. He has been struggling to hit line drives, which has been hurting his BABIP significantly. But remember that this superstar cleared the wall 9 times back in April. The 23-year-old can get hot anytime.

His back has been costing every baseball fan's dream to watch Kershaw making a history. The surgery is still less likely, but a back issue isn't just another TJ, and we all are in danger of losing the one of a kind pitcher of our time.

He is surprisingly not popular around the trade tables. Thanks to his tainted image and injury history, his owners should be able to enjoy seeing him in the Brewers uniform for the rest of the season.

The Rockies really should trade him, but he doesn't seem to be strongly coveted by any team at this moment. CarGo is probably more attractive bait. The Rockies can control him for 2 more years, so he might stay put in the mountains, where he can continue to be an elite Fantasy producer.

If he gets traded to either the Indians or the Mets, it can't be good for his HR production. He was never known for his power, so we should expect his 13.7% HR/FB to regress anyway. He is still a great contact hitter, and no stadium can't take away that portion of his game.

HanRam has been mad hot as he hit 5 HR in his last 5 games, but his season total is still mere 13. He can continue to benefit from hitting in the middle of the Fenway's order, but his baseball skill is nothing special.

The likely CY Young winner if Kershaw stays out. He is one of the best lefties in the game, and he is protected by almighty Brandon Crawford and the AT&T.

It's really tough to get excited for the Captain Cutch. His power is still playable, but you probably should be able to find a better CF for your roster pretty easily.

Aroldis Chapman

RP

$ 30

+$ 14

The new closer of the MLB leading Cubs. The Cubs have been surprisingly stingy with providing enough SV opportunities, but Chapman is still Chapman. He could lose few SV by changing the uniform, but the NL Central should be a better environment for his other ratio stats.

Is he leaving the South Side? Yes, please! His velocity and K-rate are still down, and his FIP is ugly 3.70, but his way out of the White Sox's brutal defense and RHB friendly home park can only benefit the dominant lefty's career.

Trevor Story

Does anybody enjoy their hometown more than this kid? Hitting .313 at home (.233 on the road), and the shortstop's 27 HR is third in the major.

Revere isn't really making anybody happy, but his legs are still working pretty well. He has been hitting little bit too much fly balls for his taste, but his other peripherals, such as K, BB, and contacts% show that he is still the same kind of hitter who hit over .300 for his last three seasons. His .231 BABIP is very correctable and he will soon start to steal more bases once he starts to get on them. Get him for free now if you need SB.

Degrominator's velocity isn't getting back up to 95 mph, but it has been slowly improving. He also has been successfully compensated his loss in fastball with slider, and he could be very solid for the rest of the way (but not 2015 level).

Carlos Carrasco

SP

$ 17

His velocity is still down little bit, which has been hurting his K-rate. Regardless of his disturbing 3.95 FIP, he has been putting up fantastic 2.31 ERA. The Indians have been playing a lot better defense lately, so it would be only fair for him to stay little lucky this season while he is fixing his own issues.

Since the beginning of June, the reigning CY Young winner has been pitching relatively better with 3.63 ERA and 8.21 K/9. He could stay pretty competitive for the rest of the season, but his velocity is still showing no sign of improvement, so don't expect anything too big.

He has been playing more games than anyone anticipated, and his bat is working relatively well in the majors. .277 with 5 HR in 32 games are great numbers for a fantasy catcher, and he could stay valuable as long as Joe Madden keeps the rookie on the field.
