For many leagues, the trade deadline has now passed. That means that if you want to help your team, you have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, which I should remind you is physically impossible. That said, there are some guys on the wire who might bring the fire, and bring you the victory that you desire.

Dexter Fowler (OF, St. Louis Cardinals) - Dexter is back, and he’s out for blood. Committing a murder most Fowler. Because he’s been killing the ball, hitting .400 since his return with a homer, 7 R, 6 RBI, and 1 SB. He’s also done this with an excellent 9/6 BB/K, reminding owners why his ability to be an all-around contributor is so helpful despite his lack of star ability. While he’s more of an asset in OBP leagues, in which he should be owned in 12-team, batting average 12-teamers would still do well to have him for his Swiss army knife ability providing a very high fantasy floor… and there’s a beating heart under the floorboards. Okay, getting a little carried away with the murder theme.

    I will say this more because I need Trumbo to perform well since i traded for him and cesar hernandez 4 weeks ago for nola and mike leake since i needed the offense. But it looks like he has been hitting better since coming off the DL so unless you need the roster spot i think you can give him 2 weeks to see if hes doing better post injury
