This morning I logged into my leagues, and did a little research of all the top teams.  There were some surprising similarities, excluding the obvious of having the top producing players.  All of them have players starting who have produced little to none all season, while the free agent pool was full of hot players.  This creates opportunities for everyone depending on how you approach it.  Whether you’re fighting your way out of the cellar, or staring down at the rest of the league from the penthouse you should always be looking to improve your team.  Teams on top who get complacent with their players will eventually start to slow because of injuries and slumps.  

Moral of the story:  Teams in first should never be done improving, and filling the gaps.  If you aren’t in first, the teams ahead of you probably aren’t doing enough to stay there, so stay the course while grabbing the hot bats & arms.  Over the course of the season Fantasy Baseball has of way of creating its own parody.

Here are some potentially available players that are excellent position fillers:
