Fantasy talk: Weekly Buy Low/Sell High

Buy low

Andrew Cashner- Cashner is currently working his way back from an injury, and threw two shutout innings in his last rehab appearances. He could provide excellent strikeout rates just in time for the fantasy baseball playoffs. Pick him up off of the waiver wire and stash him away until he returns to the rotation in September.

John Axford- Axford has had a terrible season, but Manager Ron Roenicke indicated that he would give Axford more save opportunities going forward. Axford has had a bad year, but his strikeout rate is up this year, and has the potential to be one of the best closers in the game.

Dan Straily- Bartolo Colon's suspension opens up a rotation spot for Straily, who puts up unbelievable strikeout numbers.

Sell high

Anibal Sanchez- Sanchez has played very poorly ever since he joined the Tigers last month. He has posted a 6.33 ERA in 27 innings. His strikeout numbers are going down, and look for the rest of the season to be a mess for Sanchez as he will continue to get worse.

Andre Ethier- Ethier had a very nice first half of the season, but has really struggled in the second half. He has hit .252 in the second half with 2 homers.
