With September roster expansion in Major League Baseball, it's hard to keep track of which player is in the lineup on a day-to-day basis.

Now is the sneaky time for fantasy baseball owners to anticipate action at the Major League Baseball trade deadline coming up on July 31. If a team moves a star player, someone has to take that player's place in the lineup. There are statistics to be had there in such a vacancy, so if you can get the jump on a replacement now, your fantasy baseball team will be the better off for it. Likewise, if one of your star player's value takes a hit with a trade, you have to be ready to replace lost stats. Always keep an eye on the MLB trade deadline!
The trade deadline is approaching and the top target available for clubs in need of starting pitching? A 36-year-old who started last season in the Atlantic League.

The MLB All-Star break is a chance to look back at the first half of the year and make some bold predictions for the next half of the year as well. Here are 5 bold predictions for the rest of the way.
The first half of the season is over with the All-Star game set for tonight. Let's hand out some first-half awards.
There's a rule for the All-Star Game in Major League Baseball to ensure all fans get to see at least one player from each team represented in the Midsummer Classic. This means some less-than-deserving players get picked for the MLB All-Star Game, while in fantasy baseball, only the best players get picked for our All-Star roster.
Looking at the standings in your league and finding your weakest statistical categories can make all the difference in the world come late August and September.
There may be no image more quintessentially American than baseball fans spending the Fourth of July at a baseball game, and with fans flocking to the ballpark, ticket prices are going up as well.
The Washington Nationals look like the team they're supposed to be, sweeping the New York Mets, who look nothing like the team they were.
The New York Mets, who just signed Jose Reyes, don't care how bad you are off the field as long as you produce on it... like most teams.
As we approach July, it's time to start thinking about the MLB All-Star Game. Even in fantasy baseball, All-Star players have value beyond what their stats offer. A lot of owners will trade for All-Star players even if they're not great fantasy baseball players.
It happens every year in fantasy baseball: Players get drafted every March that end up struggling during the first six weeks of the season, so owners drop them. Yet by late June, those players recover and really start to hit. They'll end up where they should by September with good stats.
Smart fantasy baseball owners will analyze the standings in their league to see where their team needs improvement—and perhaps where the team can spare some statistics in a trade. Picking up new players only makes sense if these moves help the team in the standings, after all.
The White Sox are an even .500 at 29-29 after a 23-10 start to the season.
This week, we're taking a special look at New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia. The big guy hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2012, but suddenly, Sabathia is looking good again. Currently, his ERA would be the lowest of his long career if he could keep it going through the end of the year. That begs the question: Can Sabathia keep it up through the end of the year? We think so, and we explain why in this week's fantasy baseball advice column. Read on!
