The baseball world is decidedly less fun now that the seemingly un-hurtable Trout has hit the DL, an event that leaves many fantasy owners questioning the nature of reality. But beyond the big-name stars, there’s plenty of largely unnoticed players and unlucky cheap adds that can help restore your faith in something. It goes roughly in descending order in perceived value. So here is the value issue, and as a result, this article is coming to you at the low, low price of $0.00. Wow, what a value!

Ryon Healy (3B, Oakland Athletics) - After a rough April, he was left for dead in many shallower mixed leagues, but he has healed his numbers back up in a hurry. The peripheral stats supported the assertion that he’s the real deal along, and it took a while for his surface stats to reflect it. He’s even better this year with an 37% Hard Contact rate (30% in 2016) and upped his FB% from 37% to 43%, and his plate discipline numbers have remained stable if not slightly improved. He’s the rare power hitter who can also be a plus in the batting average department, so seeing as he has the upside to go .300-30 this year, he should be owned in all batting average leagues. In OBP though he should still be owned, just not as highly valued. It’s not just Healy-um, so fly over to Healy.
