Five weeks are gone in MLB’s fantasy baseball season. There will be more hot streaks and slumps that come and go. Through it all, winning your daily or weekly match-ups is all about staying on top of the guys who are heating up and trying to ride that wave.
There are still a number of players out there who can add value to your team if you have a household name like Carlos Gomez, Troy Tulowitzki or Albert Pujols struggling right now.
Whether you’re looking for power, stolen bases, wins or strikeouts, there’s plenty of wealth to go around. For your sake, hopefully you’re in a league no bigger than 10-12 teams, so there is more depth on the waiver wire or free agency. That, and not a lot of the other managers in your league are keeners when it comes to the latest league transactions.
Here are your top pick-ups for the week ahead, baseball fans.
