10 Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy and Sell for Week 11
Owners invested signifcant draft capital in Trea Turner, and he hasn't delivered so far this season. How should we handle him in season-long formats?

Buy Yonder Alonso

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso has finally started to find some consistency over the last two weeks, hitting .328/.418/.517 since May 22 (67 plate appearances) with 2 homers, 13 RBIs and 10 runs scored.

While those numbers don't set the world on fire, they are particularly good for American League first basemen, a position that has seen a dearth of production this season.

His .331 wOBA this year ranks 5th among 11 AL first-sackers, and his 11 homers and 36 RBIs are both 4th. Given the lack of depth at the position, Alonso is especially valuable in deeper formats and AL-only leagues, and now's the time to make an offer on a player who hit 28 bombs last year while his rise in play is still a bit under the radar.
