After taking the lead in my league prior to the All-Star break, I've since fallen back down to 2nd, but I'm running neck-and-neck with my top rival, and we keep trading places in the standings day by day.
Best of all, I was able to claim a fairly valuable player -- Ben Zobrist -- off waivers during the break. Not sure if the rest of my league was asleep at the wheel, or what, but I jumped on the chance, even though I had the #10 claim after recently using a fairly high claim on Mark Teixeira. He's exactly what I needed after losing Brandon Phillips to injury. Plus, he's eligible at both SS (which is a hard position to come by in my league) and OF (which I'm in need of), so he definitely fills a need. Granted, he's having a somewhat average season at the plate, but a bounce back second half is well within reach. He's been pretty consistent over the years, and there's no reason to expect any different from him this season.
