10 Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy and Sell for Week 9
With Gleyber Torres tearing up the league, it's time to buy him aggressively in season-long fantasy baseball. Which other players should we be looking to buy or sell?

Buy Carlos Santana

When you look at Carlos Santana's .208 batting average, one would wonder why he'd be a player to buy right now. But the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman is actually on quite a roll and has been for the entire month of May.

Overall, his slash line of .207/.326/.430 is nothing to write home about, but during this month, he's hit .272/.366/.617 with 7 of his 9 home runs and a wOBA of .410 that is 5th-best among qualified first basemen.

And while that batting average is a meager .207, his walk and strikeout rates are equal to his career numbers, suffering from horrific luck this year (.196 BABIP). He also has 21 extra-base hits this season, the same number as Bryce Harper and Nolan Arenado. Now's a good time to buy low on someone who has always been a better second-half player.
