Latos
Lester
Hosmer - tough call but his BABIP is still only .218 so he's been unlucky

I hope you are correct as I drafted the first three of those.

Latos and Lester are both notorious slow starters... they just don't typically take THIS long to get going.

I'd probably say some good bargains would include:
Adrian Gonzalez
Justin Upton
Jon Lester
Dan Uggla
Adam Wainwright (Tommy John recoverees usually turn the corner as they gain their control back. Look at '04 AJ Burnett, '09 Chris Carpenter, '10 Edison Volquez, '10 Tim Hudson, etc.)
Jose Reyes
Desmond Jennings
Freddie Freeman

Love this thread.

Here's who I got...

Desmond Jennings--looking for a guy to steal 25 bases from here out and score a boatload of runs? Here he is.
Justin Upton--has already started to move the needle. I think he is on the verge of exploding.
Eric Hosmer--so bad on luck and has still been somewhat useful.
Carlos Santana--his value will never be lower.
Dan Uggla--remember how good he was for the last 3 months in 2011?
Felix Hernandez--monster second half awaits.
Cliff Lee--he'll still win 12 games and his ratios will get better.
James Shields--K's up, grounders up, homers up. The rays defense has to get better with Longo and DJ.
Jon Lester--he takes a while to get going, but now is when he takes off.
Adam Wainwright--too easy of a call here, top 10 starter from here on out.
Anibal Sanchez--after a few bad starts now is the time to pounce.
Matt Garza--a trade can only help, even to the AL. The Cubs are pathetic.

I think we are on the same page.

Starlin Castro too now that he has Rizzo hitting behind him maybe he'll actually see some strikes
