Low or Non-drafted Hitters Worth Acquiring NOW!
There are several offense players right now that are playing very well that weren't drafted in the top 12 rounds or at all. We'd like to point out some players that you should consider for your team that you could get at a low price in a trade or even find on free agency in your league. If you went high for closers and low for some of these guys congratulations!
Kevin Youkilis (40/126, 23 runs, 25 RBI, 6 Hrs, 1 SB, .317 Avg) (19th Round Draft Pick)- We got Youkilis in the 19th round of our expert draft as a backup. He's filled in admirably in the wake of injuries and has been awesome. Most of the time he's a great start at Fenway and not on the road, but if you can get him cheap or in free agency we recommend it. He also qualifies for 1B and 3B in most leagues.
Nate McClouth (45/135, 31 runs, 28 RBI, 9 Hrs, 3 SB, .333 Avg) (NOT DRAFTED)- This guy is on a tear. Most likely you can't get him or even trade for him cause his value is too high. If he goes into a small slump make an offer for him and see if the owner will bite. Otherwise watch his great season.
Ryan Church (40/122, 27 runs, 24 RBI, 6 Hrs, 1 SB, .328 Avg) (19-25th Round Draft Pick)- We expected good things out of Ryan when he came over from Washington, but this is amazing. 6 Home runs and a .328 batting average. He is streaky, but I got him in Free Agency last week, so look for him.
Conner Jackson (39/115, 27 runs, 28 RBI, 5 Hrs, 2 SB, .339 Avg) (15 - 20th Round Draft Pick)- We were high on this guy coming in and he hasn't let us down. He's pounded out 5 home runs and is batting at a .339 clip. He may still be a free agent in your league. Trade for him if you can, he will only improve his numbers except for average.
Jacoby Ellsbury (27/96, 27 runs, 12 RBI, 3 Hrs, 13 SB, .281 Avg) (13-15th Round Draft Pick)- We staked allot of our reputation in this guy and he hasn't let down. He's been slowed by the Red Sox showcasing Coco Crisp for trades and by a minor groin injury. He still has 27 runs and 13 SBs in less than 100 at bats. Get this guy, especially if Stolen bases are big in your league. He is 23 for 23 in his career.
Matt Kemp (38/116, 19 runs, 25 RBI, 3 Hrs, 9 SB, .328 Avg) (11-15th Round Draft Pick)- Another player we were high on since we got to see him play plenty out here in Las Vegas. He was drafted in several leagues much higher, but was cut after his slow start. I got him in a few leagues as a free agent. Trade for him if you can, now is the time.
Josh Hamilton (40/137, 17 runs, 36 RBI, 7 Hrs, 0 SB, .292 Avg) (12-18th Round Draft Pick) - A great story and his move to Texas has been great for him. 7 home runs and 36 RBI. If you can trade for him, consider it. His stock is still undervalued, so a good deal could be made.
Carlos Quentin (28/104, 23 runs, 24 RBI, 8 Hrs, 2 SB, .270 Avg) (NOT DRAFTED)- Not the greatest player on this list, but he's a possible free agent who is absolutely crushing the ball.
Ryan Ludwick (40/126, 23 runs, 25 RBI, 6 Hrs, 1 SB, .317 Avg) (NOT DRAFTED)- He's not guaranteed a starting spot, but his play may create one for him. Batting .317 with 6 home runs and he's a free agent in many leagues.
Mike Jacobs (29/107, 16 runs, 24 RBI, 9 Hrs, 1 SB, .271 Avg) (20-25th Round Draft Pick) - We humped this guy in Spring Training and now look at him. 9 home runs and 24 RBI. Trade for him!
Josh Willingham (31/91, 16 runs, 16RBI, 6 Hrs, 2 SB, .341 Avg) (16-21th Round Draft Pick)- He's hurt right now with some back issues, but before he went down he was batting .341 with 6 home runs. He is the real deal and as long as his back holds up he will be dominating. Trade for him while he's hurt. Great value.
Kevin Youkilis (40/126, 23 runs, 25 RBI, 6 Hrs, 1 SB, .317 Avg) (19th Round Draft Pick)- We got Youkilis in the 19th round of our expert draft as a backup.

Jacoby Ellsbury (27/96, 27 runs, 12 RBI, 3 Hrs, 13 SB, .281 Avg) (13-15th Round Draft Pick)- We staked allot of our reputation in this guy and he hasn't let down. He's been slowed by the Red Sox showcasing Coco Crisp for trades and by a minor groin injury. He still has 27 runs and 13 SBs in less than 100 at bats.

He is the real deal and as long as his back holds up he will be dominating. Trade for him while he's hurt. Great value.
