Week 8 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Last week’s buys were a mixed bag. Zack Greinke dominated the Cardinals, but Miguel Sano continued to scuffle. He’s still hitting the ball hard enough to anticipate better days ahead, though. On the sell side, Danny Salazar got knocked around by the Red Sox (no shame in that lately) and Adrian Gonzalez’s struggles continued. He […]
