Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants
Coming into the 2009 fantasy baseball season, Tim Lincecum was considered as the best fantasy starting pitcher. Even though his stats are down a little bit, he looks primed for a dominant run. Get him now if you can.

Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies
After helping Philadelphia win the 2008 World Series, Cole Hamels got off to a slow start this start. But now he’s turning it around and is value is sure to sky rocket over the next few weeks. Buying low would be a smart move.

Josh Beckett, Boston Red Sox
This year, the Red Sox’s ace has either been really good or really bad. But his stuff looks solid and there’s a very good chance that he’ll be money during the stretch run. Send out trade offers now before he heats up.

Brandon Webb, Arizona Diamondbacks
If your fantasy baseball team is performing well, consider trading for Brandon Webb. Although he’s injured, he should return within six weeks and when he’s pitching there are few better fantasy baseball pitchers in the game.

Richard Hamilton, Detroit Pistons
There is a lot of turmoil surrounding Richard Hamilton. He’s now coming off the bench to help balance out the Pistons’ starting lineup. While that may have soured a few Hamilton owners, he’s still a player that can help your fantasy team. Get him now before he fully adjusts to his role and his value increases.

Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
If there’s a time to get Amare Stoudemire for a reduced rate, now would be that time. He’s laid a few eggs recently and hasn’t looked nearly as good as usual. That said, the Suns will figure out a way to get him more involved and his fantasy value will again rise. Trade for him now if at all possible.

Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose has hit the rookie wall — much like almost all rookies do. The good news is that many rookies are able to regroup and get over the wall. Rose should be one of those rookies so if you have a panicking Rose owner in your league, now is the time to pounce.
