Carlos Correa

Correa is most certainly proving his bona fides at the major league level to start his career, as the number one overall pick from 2012 now has five home runs in just nineteen games, thanks to another bomb on Saturday. With a .301 average and four steals to go along with those five home runs, Correa's stock is at an all-time high (all-time being relative since he's been in the league three weeks). Although it would really take some stones, owners may want to think about selling uber-high on Correa. Like getting a fantasy ace in return high. If Correa's potential and position may be able to convince a desperate owner to send Corey Kluber and his not as shiny surface stats in exchange for Correa, it's worth at least asking around for. Correa hasn't shown very much plate discipline at the major league level, and major league pitchers typically figure out guys like that before too long. That's not to say Correa won't adjust back himself, but there may well be a swoon coming up for Correa. His HR/FB rate is unsustainable, and his swing rate on pitches outside of the zone is worse than Mark Trumbo's this season. It's really hard to sell on an uber-prospect like Correa, and certainly don't do so in any keeper leagues, but it may be worth seeing if some owner will send an over-the-moon package for the precocious Astro.

Masahiro Tanaka

That's two straight rough outings for Tanaka, as the Yankee righty gave up six runs and nine baserunners in just five innings, striking out five along the way. Tanaka looked outstanding in his first three starts off of the DL, but has floundered in his two most recent starts. And there are certainly some troubling signs. Tanaka, who refused to undergo Tommy John surgery, has lost 1.5 mph off his fastball in his last two starts, the exact trend that led to his last stint on the disabled list. This doesn't necessarily mean that another DL stint is imminent, but it is certainly troubling. The poor results along with the drop in velocity in the two most recent starts mean Tanaka is fair game to be shopped around. Owners should at least keep an eye on his velocity in his next outing, which comes next Saturday against the Rays.

Yovani Gallardo

Gallardo had another strong outing on Saturday, coming up just two outs shy of a shutout, finishing with a line of: 8.1 IP, 3H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 SO and the win. That makes three consecutive outings without having allowed a run for Gallardo, and a string of seven consecutive quality starts, four of which Gallardo didn't allow a single run. Gallardo's ERA now sits at 2.72 for the season, and his FIP (3.47) suggests that his recent success has been legitimate and sustainable. Gallardo hasn't been striking out as many hitters as his owners may want (6.56 K/9), but his HR/9 is down to 0.66, and he is doing a great job limiting hard contact (23.9 percent even before Saturday's start). That figure is among the top ten among qualified pitchers, according to Fangraphs, and has been a large part of his success. Gallardo has been attacking the zone more aggressively than any season since 2009, and although he isn't racking up the K's yet, he has real value moving forward. He's still available in nearly half of ESPN leagues, and should be snatched up even though he just pitched.

Chris Carter

Carter had a pair of extra-base hits on Saturday, including his 13^th home run of the season, and is approaching the rare Barry Bonds special of having more extra-base hits than singles. (Not relevant to Carter, but Bonds had 107 extra-base hits to just 49 singles in 2001; WHAT?!) Carter himself has accomplished this feat in two different seasons, and this sort of production is his modus operandi. Carter's batting average is the same as his ISO, another relatively rare anomaly even for power-hitters. Carter's ownership in ESPN leagues is right around 50 percent, which seems appropriate. For owners truly thirsty for home runs, Carter is a good fit, and he has a regular spot in the Astros' lineup. However, Carter's batting average isn't going to pick up much, and in leagues that don't count OBP instead of BA those 0-for-4's can pile up and be tough to swallow.

Brett Gardner

Gardner has been absolutely tearing the cover off the ball in the last ten games, going 22-for-46 with runs, RBI, and home runs aplenty. Gardner has 15/4/10 R/HR/RBI over that stretch, and is as hot as any player in baseball right now. Gardner faces off with Collin McHugh, who in addition to be a righty (Gardner hits .313 vs. righties, compared to .239 vs. lefties and has hit seven of his nine home runs vs. righties) has an ERA of 4.80. Gardner also gets plenty of at bats from the top of the Yankee order, which just means more opportunities for points in DFS, and he has made the most of them lately. Minute Maid Park is also one of the few stadiums that can compete with Yankee Stadium in terms of ease on home runs, and the way Gardner is swinging the bat, it's not too hard to envision him lining one over the right field fence in Houston on Sunday.
