Trevor Bauer's surge in first-pitch strike rate and near-elite ball% in July give hope that he could be in store for a big second half.

Break out the FAAB! Tons of players crossed leagues! It's a frenzy!

Like him or not, Alex Rodriguez's return to fanalytic relevance has been a sight to behold—can he really keep this up? Also, Tanaka, Iwakuma, Plouffe, Napoli.

Jonathan Lucroy hasn't come anywhere close to living up to his draft day cost, but he's quietly turned things around since returning from his stint on the disabled list. Plus Eugenio Suarez, Charlie Morton, and Robbie Ray.

Michael Wacha has a 4.42 ERA since the end of May. Should we be concerned? Plus Lucas Duda, Jason Motte, Jace Peterson, and Jeff Locke.

Can Austin Jackson make a big second half push as he heads into free agency? Also Tillman, Y. Gomes, Cron, and E. Rodriguez.

One trade to report between Miami and St. Louis; hidden value in Brad Ziegler; Minnesota and Toronto can use an upgrade to their pens.

J.D. Martinez is following up 2014's breakout with an even more impressive performance. He's on pace for 40+ HR—is it time to consider him an elite OF? Plus David Robertson, Kevin Pillar, Nate Karns, and Francisco Lindor.

The soaring power skills and improving batting eye of David Peralta are two reasons to make him a premium second-half target.

Even though his surface stats don't reflect it, the across-the-board skill gains of Rubby De La Rosa this season make him a gem in keeper leagues and an intriguing target for the second half.

Young and old alike, with a Cron. Some interesting pickups here.
