The Hardball Times Fantasy

All-Star Week at THT Fantasy

July 13, 2009

With All-Star Week upon us, we thought we'd shake things up a little bit here at THT Fantasy. This week, we've asked each of our writers to discuss one player at each position that they feel will be a good second half bargain relative to their play in the first half. Your opinions and comments on the selections of our writers will of course be welcome, and feel free to give us your own second-half sleepers. Today, you'll find Troy Patterson's list with the rest of the THTF team following throughout the week.

I'd also like to take this time to thank all of you for your support through the first half of the season, and I wish you the best of luck in your fantasy leagues as the season begins to wind down. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please feel free to send me an e-mail.
