As we come out of the All-Star break, I want to extend my hopes that you are as rested as your players are heading into the second half of the fantasy season. This week, we are going into the grab bag and selecting a handful of guys that can help your team in a few different categories. Rather than focus on one specific category coming out of the break, I thought I’d offer some players that can do a few different things, or at the very least, provide help at weak positions.

Paul DeJong, 3B STL – In very quiet fashion, DeJong has been one of the best fantasy assets the last handful of weeks before the break. Over the last two weeks of the first half of the season, the utilityman hit .385 with four home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored. For those who value slugging percentage, his .731 mark doesn’t disappoint. His positional flexibility is an added benefit, but he’s got the ability to affect a few categories while he is this hot. Of course, it’s unsustainable, but enjoy the ride while it’s there. As we all know, having a DFS mindset, in some capacity, helps seasonal leagues, especially when evaluating matchups. When the Cardinals at home, DeJong is a must-start. This season, he’s slugging .754 and has an excellent 1.166 OPS at home in the first half of 2017.

Sam Dyson, RP SFG It’s been a tale of two leagues for the 29-year-old righty. In 16.2 innings with the Rangers, Dyson posted a 10.80 ERA, 2.58 WHIP, a 1-6 record and four blown saves. However, with the Giants, he has three saves, a 2.92 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 12.1 innings. With Mark Melancon on the shelf, Dyson is locked into saves with the San Francisco Giants. Now, the Giants have been abysmal in 2017, so save opportunities may be few and far between, but the fact remains that you have to capitalize on any chance of saves you can get. Is he prone to blowing up at any point? Hell. Yes. This short stint of success can erode at any time, but remember one of the cardinal rules of baseball: Never drop a closer.

Stephen Vogt, C MIL Vogt is still on the wrong side of a timeshare, but Milwaukee seems committed to giving him regular at bats. Manny Pina is significantly better against lefties than he is righties, while Vogt couldn’t hit a lefty if his life depended on it. However, Pina is still sound against righties, which is the main reason why he is receiving the lion’s share of the time behind the plate for Milwaukee. Vogt hit 14 or more home runs while maintaining a batting average against .250 each of the last two years, so continued success behind the dish isn’t unattainable for the veteran. In his final 22 at-bats before the break, Vogt was outpacing Pina in runs scored, home runs, strikeouts and slugging percentage. The two were tied in RBI and walks, but keep in mind Vogt did it in 12 less at-bats. In NL-only formats, Vogt is a nice add and makes for a quality No. 2 catcher, but keep in mind that he’s not locked into everyday at-bats for the time being.

Alex Wilson, RP DET Finding saves is tough enough, but around this time of the season, adding a guy who would step in should a closer be traded is key. Detroit’s regular closer, Justin Wilson, is being eyed up by a few clubs, namely the Los Angeles Dodgers, and in the event that a trade were to occur, one would presume that Alex Wilson would take over the closing duties. His first half wasn’t great, but when it comes to finding a guy with a chance at regular save opportunities, you must take your lumps. For the year, he’s 1-4 with a 4.04 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 35.2 innings of work. His 22 strikeouts during that time isn’t ideal, but he can be shutdown at times. Through the first two months of the season, he allowed just five earned runs across 24 innings. However, his 10 earned runs over the last 9.2 innings is brutal. While he’s limiting lefties to a .221 average, righties have posted a quality .297/.333/.527 slash line against the 30-year-old right-hander. This is a speculative add, but it has the ability to be a valuable addition in the saves department.
