The Law of Averages is one thing you can count on in baseball.  There are certain things you can come to expect from certain players, year in and year out.  Yet every year some of the most consistently productive players end up cut halfway through April.   For example, in one of my leagues Nick Swisher, and Paul Konerko both just got cut for their April baby slumps.  These are 28-30 HR potential guys on good teams with lots of protection.   They may not have the sexy names like you see in the first round, but you can count on the returns they will provide.    Try to look for Veterans 28 – 34 years old who averaged approximately 500 ABs in the last 3 seasons, and who preformed consistently above average.  Finding this type of value early on will take a lot of the stress off in late July.
