I could list everyone who is not off to a good start, but you can check stats for that. I checked through Yahoo and these are guys you may be able to get cheaper because of their cold start/yahoo ranks. These are also guys who you may be able to cash in on because of their hot start/yahoo ranks.

Steals based off of Yahoo rankings

This is a list of guys that as I draft I say I wouldn't mind having that guy. This isn't a list that a lot of you will be surprised by. These are guys who I target every draft for my backups and guys I look to grab because they are listed lower than I think they should be on Yahoo.

C- Ianetta, Varitek, Barrett- too low
1B- Shealy, Gonzalez, Duncan, Youkilis, Conor Jackson, Mike Jacobs, Dan Johnson, Laroche, Cuddyer
2B- Kinsler, Kelly Johnson (OF now in Yahoo, will gain 2B eligibility), Burke
3B- Tracy, Gordon, Teahen, Edwin E
SS- Drew, Peralta, Tulowitsky
OF- Francoeur, Cuddyer, Chris B. Young, Duncan, Youkilis, Bonds, Roberts, Gomes, Rios- too low,
SP- Sanchez, Olsen, AJ Burnett- too low, Harden, Patterson, Kazmir- too low, Chuck James, Adam Wainright, Anthony Reyes, Garza- too low, Dave Bush
Closers- Saito- way too low, Lidge, Torres- way too low
Middle relievers- Juan Rincon- way too low,

Top 25 First Basemen

I left off guys like Kendrick, Ivan Rodriguez, and Jeff Kent who I don't like as my 1B but don't mind in other positions. Thome/Thomas are not in here because of no eligibility and I don't see them gaining that eligibility. I placed Hafner on this list because I believe he will gain 1B eligibility this year.
