Did you predict Nate McLouth’s breakout season? How about Jacoby Ellsbury’s hot start to the year? Well, if you were paying attention to the second half of last season, you had a clue. Both guys got a chance to play and displayed some major potential, with Ellsbury having a great postseason, too.
This week, I want to focus on some guys who have recently gotten the opportunity to play and have run with it. Watch these guys over the second half, and be ready to grab them, now, and in your draft next year.

Saves.
They are a necessary evil in fantasy baseball. You have three basic options when it comes to approaching saves:
1). You can pay big for one or two top closers, pray they don’t get hurt (sorry JJ Putz owners), and hope that you can make up the lack of offense later in the draft
2). You can punt saves all together (something of which I’m not a fan)
3). You can be somewhere in between.
Today, I’m going to focus on the third of these choices and give you some sleeper options for the second half.
