I hope you took my advice from last week and picked up Altherr! This may as well be called the “Sometimes, I’m Wrong” edition of Buy & Sell, as with new data I am changing my mind about Broxton and Mancini to name a few. Believe me, I suffer for the impatience too, as I made the admittedly flawed decision to cut Chris Davis in my writer’s league, and he rewarded another team handsomely for my impatience. Let that be a lesson… patience in fantasy baseball is very, very important. This list has a mix of old and new fantasy assets, and addresses a player I have received many questions about, and the answer isn’t so simple.

Neil Walker (2B, New York Mets) - Look, if you’re a Mets fan, it would behoove you to latch on to any reasons for optimism. Walker got off to a crawl at the start of April, but has continually improved with a slugging percentage gradually rising from then til now. We know based on his 23-homer 2016 what he’s capable again, and again he’s hitting above 40% flyballs and has even cut down on his chase rate while maintaining a low 8.2% Swstrk. I recommend adding him in both deep and shallow formats as his power at the Keystone position plays in all leagues. Know that you’ll move forward if you lean on Walker.
“In deeper mixed, you should be chasin’hall and soon you’ll be glad he was chosenhall.”
Thanks Dad
Out of all the OF eligible players here, who’s your bet on ROS?
Do you roll the dice on Leury or Yuli? Position eligibility doesn’t matter too much, but I could use another OF more than another corner.
