Hey folks, Tommy D pinch-hitting for the great Drew Thibodeau this week; and I'll do my best to fill his shoes and give you some options, because we all have players on our rosters who are playing over their heads of late, and the time may not get any better to trade them away for players who will help long term.  Here are my choices for this week following the All-Star Break:

Carlos Delgado - 1B - New York Metropolitans - Former Blue Jay Carlos Delgado has struggled at times in a Mets uniform to be sure, but finally, FINALLY, Delgado seems to be playing the way Mets fans and management were hoping he would.  Of course, this random hot streak, to me, screams trade him, and trade him now.  It's only a matter of time, I feel, until Delgado reverts to the Delgado we've seen the last couple of years.  He is 36 years old, clearly on the downside of his career, but this one last gasp might be something you can use to your advantage in a trade.  Here's what Delgado has done in the last month: .358 (34/95) 9 HR, 28 RBI, 20 Runs Scored, 17 Ks and an OPS of 1.194.

Jorge Cantu - 1B/3B - Florida Marlins - One of the few to play with the (Devil) Rays and the Marlins, Cantu started his career absolutely smoking hot, before completely falling off the table and retreating back to the minor before eventually finding himself downstate in Miami.  Lately, Cantu has had his best stretch of play since his rookie season; leading some to believe that he is "back".  Don't believe them.  I see Cantu as a Kevin Millar (or even a Brian Daubach); someone who, when they're hot, they're no one better in the league.  However, when they're NOT hot, they're as awful as awful can be.  I really think Cantu fits this profile, but right now; your fellow Fantasy Owners don't need to know that.  Here's Cantu's last month: .330 (32/97) 4 HR, 16 RBI, 14 Runs Scored, 2 SBs, 12 Ks, and an OPS of .892.

Mike Pelfrey - SP - New York Metropolitans - We head back to the red-hot Mets and take a look at the pitching staff, focusing on Mike Pelfrey.  He personifies the way the Mets have been playing, but I caution everyone; nothing this good lasts forever, and Pelfrey will eventually fall back to the pack a bit.  Will it be sooner rather than later?  Depending on the status of your rotation, now might be the time to move Pelfrey, as you've gotten the bulk of what you'll get from this steal.  You drafted him pretty late, and can get some good talent back, so why not do it?  Here's Pelfrey's line over the last month: 41.0 IP, 5 W, 0 L, 30 Ks, 2.41 ERA, and a 1.05 WHIP.
