In this week's issue, we bring you:

^ Fantasy Baseball Buy Low
^ Fantasy Baseball Sell High
^ Fantasy Baseball Hold Onto

FANTASY BASEBALL BUY LOW
^ Matt Holliday: He probably went for an artificially low price in the first place (because of urban legends that he was brutal away from Coors Field) and this start is playing into false stereotypes – presenting a great opportunity if you can find a panicked owner.
^ Brandon Phillips: Buy now before he warms up along with the Ohio River humidity.
^ James Loney: He will hit no less than 15-20 home runs and now that power will be compressed into 80% of the season.
^ Francisco Liriano and Chris Young (SP): They’ve shown enough sparks this year to show that ace power is still lurking in those arms.
^ CC Sabathia: He thrives in under-the-spotlight midseason games and those are rapidly approaching.

FANTASY BASEBALL SELL HIGH
^ Aaron Hill: He’s a microcosm of the Toronto offense and as such, he can’t sustain his early level of production.
^ Jason Bartlett and Ryan Theriot: Classic early-season frauds.
^ Brandon Inge and Mike Cameron: Career-long hole-in-the-swing guys are never an early bet based purely on a hot start.
^ Raul Ibanez: In order to place him off-limits, you’d have to commit to believing that he’s going to have a career year.
^ Zack Duke: Be very cautious based on his start-and-stop career.

FANTASY BASEBALL HOLD ONTO
^ Mike Napoli: With strong per-at-bat power numbers last year, we touted him coming into 2009, so we’re going to hold to our opinion that he’s for real.
^ Justin Verlander: The worst (of ’08 and early ’09) is behind him, now reap the rewards for betting on the talent.
^ Adam Lind and Johnny Cueto: Based on pedigree, you should proceed as if they are for real.
^ Josh Johnson: The only question with him was health; behold what happens when he’s healthy!
^ Chris Volstad: Based on last year and this year’s start, he projects as no worse than a #3 SP the rest of the way.
^ Zack Greinke: You could get a lot for him – but it’s unlikely that you’ll get as much as he’ll still give you.
^ Rickie Weeks: He’s a classic potential post-hype breakout.
^ Adam Jones: He’ll reach All-Star level sometime soon; feel free to believe that it’s happening sooner than expected.
