Fantasy talk: Weekly Buy low/ Sell High

Buy low:

Eric Young Jr.-Young Jr. has started four of the last five games due to injuries and the Marco Scutaro trade has also opened up some playing time for him. He has hit .299 with 12 steals in 152 plate appearances, and could establish himself as the Rockies' lead off hitter for the remainder of the season.

Manny Machado- Machado is yet another middle infielder who can provide under the radar value for the remainder of the season. Machado made his MLB debut last night for Baltimore, and should provide an offensive boost at third base down the stretch. He has demonstrated good plate discipline in the minors this year, walking 48 times.

Jim Henderson- Henderson saved back to back games for Milwaukee earlier this week, and might be given the opportunity to take the closer job from John Axford and Francisco Rodriguez. Henderson's ERA in the minors was 1.69, along with a 10.1 K/9 ratio.

Sell high

Mike Fiers- Listen I'm really just telling you to be cautious with Fiers. He has had a very successful stint with the Brewers this year, and I'm sure most of you have picked him up. The problem is the Brewers announced that they will "monitor" Fiers' innings, which is not good is you own him. Owners may want to explore selling Fiers before he gets shutdown, and his value goes down the toilet.

Dexter Fowler- Fowler had a nice start to the season, but since then his power production has fallen drastically. He only had 5 RBI in July and none so far in August. That is definitely concerning. Fowlers value is quickly falling, and I'd advise you to sell him ASAP.
