FREE AGENT PICKUPS FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 12

Each week we’ll review some players that may be available for pickup in leagues of various sizes.Since it is not possible to cover every league style, the most common formats will be reviewed.  Please feel free to ask a question on any player not mentioned on the free Mastersball.com forum.  If the question is about a player without specific reference to your team, please post it in the Player News and Analysis forum.  If the question is within the context of your team, please post it in the Team Management forum and include all the relevant associated information necessary to understand the context.

This feature WILL NOT recommend an actually FAAB bid, as that is too dependent upon your league and team’s dynamics.  If you would like general assistance concerning how to go about determining a FAAB bid, please feel free to post the question in the Strategy and Theory section of the Mastersball.com forum.

Just because a player is listed, that does not mean he is someone to pickup.  Sometimes he is included due to a hot week or two and the advice will be to tread carefully, the player is not likely to sustain that level of success.

While the criteria for selecting names will be mostly subjective, attractive free agents available in fewer than 50% of the 12-team mixed and 15-team mixed leagues will be an unofficial cut-off.

We will archive previous week's listings at the bottom of the column
