Fantasy Baseball All-Star Edition: Which Players Do You Actually Want On Your Team?

Think about how to exploit that weakness in your fantasy baseball league this weekend.

It's a good time to assess which players on your team are likely to decline—and thus give you a chance to trade them to a desperate owner that doesn't know any better.
