An integral ingredient in building a winning team involves making at least one good move to acquire a player who is about to really take off to provide your team a boost. One of my all-time favorite personal buy-low deals was back in early May 2002 when I dealt Matt Herges (then the de facto Expos closer) and Scott Williamson (apparently on the cusp of reclaiming the closer job for the Reds) in exchange for Jason Schmidt who had just left a start after two-thirds of an inning with a stiff shoulder. Herges ended up with six saves on the season, Williamson with eight saves, and Schmidt went on to win 13 games with 196 strikeouts, 3.45 ERA and 1.192 WHIP in what became his breakout season. I love that story. But enough about me! This is about you!
Aaron Gleeman at RotoWorld.com has done the work for you! The highlights of his second half buy low list include:
- Jonathan Broxton (too late now perhaps?)
- Robinson Cano
- Manny Corpas
- Brad Hawpe
- Alexis Rios
- Nick Swisher
- and several more
Check out Aaron's full analysis in his Baseball Daily Dose article.
